Rusty will be our starting right winger with Bailey the odd one out.
And if we still had Lomax, some other merkin would be the odd one out as well. It starts to become an expensive reserve grade side. This is why I claim we wouldn’t have signed Kelly if Lomax hadn’t left.

Russell and Simonsson in reserve grade is a poor use of cap space. You want most of your backups on minimum salary, not $300k
I’m fully certain we once had a similar argument where you didn’t like my idea of having top 17 on heaps then 13 merkins on nothing. Anyway I think Russell is on relatively minor amount, and it all depends on if there’s some cheaper bloke doing a better job than the expensive one.

And now we are trying to claim the benefit of not having to play against him. Having our cake and eating it too. If he ends up at the Storm before 2029, this is likely to be the argument that gets him there. If we’re not willing to take him back, we won’t be able to stop him playing for someone else. I hope I’m wrong. I hope the merkin suffers financially for f**king us around, but I’m a childish, vindictive fan. Justice Kunc probably isn’t.

I am of the opinion we have a tonne of cap space to play with. If we didn’t we would not have asked storm for Coates or Stefan as we would not be able to afford their salary. They would not play for free.
True, but also it was probably a bit hit and hope comments from us at time, but also we were offering Koloamatangi a shit load too. I thought we probably perhaps a lot of our recent resignings were heavily frontloaded but perhaps they haven’t been yet and I think it’s possible we have space for at least one really decent signing.

I think the eels will have to argue that the clause is not a restraint of trade and is necessary to protect their interests.

I can’t see that the clause was unfair and that submission is likely overcome by the fact that he was lawyered up.

By inference, the clause itself provides for a circumstance where 360 is not a going proposition.

Thus I’d be arguing that the contingency was in the contemplation of both parties at the time of execution.

If Mr Lomax did not agree with it, he had the option of not entering into it.

“And my Lordship Justice @Poupou Escobar, Sir, there were indeed other conditions that Mr Lomax verily objected to and my clients diligently expunged during the critical negotiations, but this clause was deliberately rescued from the same fate.”

“ For him to now later assert it as being unfair is a bold and brazen submission, entirely unknown in our law with similar facts.”

“He paddled in shallow waters, has been nipped on the toe and the eel has slithered away.”
