As much as I am happy with the outcome of this whole thing, I still wish it actually went to court.

I really wanted to see the NRL and Storm exposed through all this.

Well done to Parra. Sarantinos, Beach and of course Arthur Moses for sticking it to the man and getting a positive outcome.

Now we can just sit back and watch the offers for Zac roll in from other teams, or watch as he runs off to earn a pittance in the ESL.

I may be living under a rock, but who is Brett Read anyway?

I presume he's a rugby league "journo" or podcaster of some sort... but I don't think the world turns on what one angry ant thinks.

Go suck it Brett Read - Lomax, his manager, Storm and maybe PVL and the NRL learned something today. Contracts are contracts, and agreed conditions of release stand.
Read represents the worst of rugby league journalism. Will do or say anything to protect his mates at the Storm, even when it is so obviously stupid. An agenda driven Storm knob gobbler who has zero credibility. I swear they only put him on NRL360 to laugh at his stupid opinions.

I also don't believe that Bart doesn't know who Brent Read is.

It seems like it is Melbourne Storms fault that Pappenheimer and Lomax don't want to play league anymore. Something is going on down there. Both of them within 6 months of each other...
I think Storm have had Lomax sign something that says he will pay the legal fees back if he signs with another NRL club.

Poor Corey should check when anyone actually called Zac a criminal.
He's an absolute thickshit. Doesn't even understand what's been going on.

He says this:

So if they don't want him, what do they want?
Have they come out and actually said what they actually want?
Like what's the figure?
What's a figure that will buy it?
What's a figure on a player?


5 seconds of research would have yielded the answers. We didn't want money. We wanted a player that would improve our squad and the Storm weren't willing to offer us that.

F**k me Corey, its not that hard to follow.

Melbourne were trying to trade Josiah Pahulu or Lazarus Vaalepu for Lomax

If PVL really wanted him to stay in the game and wasn't just trying to help the Storm, he would have come in and figured out a way for him to stay in the game...
Give him a job in the NRL headquarters

I seem to remember pvl getting on a plane to meet Haas and convince him to stay in the game. If Lomax was so important.... Why didn't pvl race to him????

That's why I gotta laugh when Reed claims we don't wanna get in the pvl bad books, when has the NRL done anything to benefit us?

Also, for Ready to say that about PVL is fairly damning. He's basically admitting that PVL is a thin-skinned agenda driven, spiteful Merkin who is more interested in holding grudges than managing the NRL.

He should sign up here, he'd fit in just fine. ReadyEel360.

I'm reluctant to pour on PVL as I think he has been the best administrator our game has ever seen.
The NRL and the game has never been stronger.
However, I think he got this one totally wrong.

Agree and I don't think Ready's analysis is right. PVL will move on fairly quickly from this.
