Zac Lomax

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Exactly this. "Bending" the rules to get an advantage in signing a player for less coin. If the NRL agrees with this then, what else will happen to their "get out of jail" rules?

Yep, every man and his dragon (or tiger) will be setting up a cunning scheme.

Bunts cunning scheme… mmm…that didn’t age too well!

“How to screw your NRL club over” article…probably on the dark web somewhere.

With a foreword by Latrell, endorsing the insights therein.

Let's face it, he has 2 years left on his contract. He should not even have to think about anything else but playing good footy for the 2 years and get paid good coin. If he does not have an option to go somewhere else this would have gone away no questions asked. He obviously has hence why the kaos. Do you honestly believe nobody be it his manager or another club has not been in his ear to leave the club and join them? If you have no option you put up and wait as there is nothing to think about but play for the 1 club. If the NRL cave in that is pretty disrespectful to the player as the rules are in place they should not be changed to suit others when they need to. Parra knew he would cost 850k so suck it up and lose a player or 2 if you cannot afford him. They cannot have their cake and eat it.

It's hard to argue with your points, in fact I mostly agree.
Nov 1 must be a running joke in the RL recruitment world and the NRL does nothing.
Of course he was in contact whilst under contract, initiated by either Parra or Lomax manager, but who in their right mind would offer Zac anywhere near what he was on with us?. But he was still determined to leave & requested a release 6 times.

Flanno knew if he applied the same rule to Zac, as Hunt, Dragons would be stuck paying massive overs for a centre playing in any position, because no club would take that hit on salary cap.

He doesn't want to be here fine. Lets see if you can get the same money elsewhere. You happy for mutual contract termination? YES!

If NRL impose 850 on Parra cap then Lomax basically has no job for 2 years. Too harsh a penalty even for an A'hole.

Lomax can't be motivated by money.
there is something else.

He might end up with a new coach when Arthur gets the sack.

taking a pay cut. Going to get paid $650k a year.

now I know I’m not the smartest bloke out there. But why would you take a pay cut when you’ve got a cruisy gig on the wing to play centre?

 

[Trifili13]

If Parra get some sort of exemption, then the salary cap is more of a joke than it already is. Lower ranked teams have to pay overs, but higher ranked teams which already get the benefit of paying unders, want a further dispensation so they can fit a player that was overpaid by a lower ranked team into their salary cap.

Mary.

I’d love Mary to coach Parra. I’d love to see him destroy another team instead.

Ciao,

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Can we sign Daniel Tupou for next year?

it is a waste if he goes to the UK

he has plenty left in him

one of the best

 

[Dragons4me]

It would be funny if the NRL agree to this and the Roosters swoop in and get him for 700k or whatever they are offering as I believe they are keen but not on the price of 850k.

No what would happen if the NRL allow it is Lomax accepts a lower price for the books but it will allow the richer clubs ( and you and I know who they are, hey senor!) to make up the rest post-career and away from the spotlight.
Also we will never know the real truth nor the real amount.

 

[thebigredv]

I was really sad coming to terms with Zac leaving but then was consoled by the warm hearted reminder that we have extended Michael Molo for another year. All is well.

I just wonder whether it might be something to do with the break-up with Jess Sergis and her now high-profile relationship with Tommy Talua. Might want to get away from the area and make a fresh start, he is only a young bloke after all and these things can hurt.

There are very few players who leave the Red V who I think of fondly after they leave for another club. Sowie. Maybe BMoz. Not many more.
Zac, I hope your time at Parra is a complete disaster.

Well said.

Sowie and the late Thommo get my blessings. Maybe more, but at the minute those two stand out, cause neither wanted to leave.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

If the story is true, he’s copping a whopping pay cut from wing to centre, say $10k per metre inside over the season.

And if he hates the wing so much, maybe in his contract, he can have a clause that excludes him from getting too close to the sideline:

123.4. During play, Mr Lomax reserves the right and entitlement not to approach within 2 metres of any sideline and shall be entitled to stop his momentum voluntarily before reaching such proximity, without any financial penalty.

We thought that Brad being desperate for wins to save his own neck would give zac anything he wanted and so it’s come to pass.

The world has gone mad!

 

[SBD82]

I’ve taken a pay cut to get away from toxic managers and move to a better workplace.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to join Parra. But I can absolutely understand someone wanting to get away from our management.

McInness fell off a cliff. I know he was injured, but the magic has disappeared.

Poor Bud is struggling at wt, playing above his rank.
