Not really naughty chair related but Zac Lomax and eels in court today at noon Aussie time. Will be interesting to see the verdict, all opinions seem to be that Lomax has shot himself in the foot and shouldn’t be able to join another nrl team without adequate compensation for eels, whether that be player related or monetary
A lot of talk that the Eels don’t want monetary compensation as it’s essentially useless from a roster/cap pov.
They lost a high calibre player that they are yet to replace, that’s essentially what they want in return. Problem being that you can force a player to move clubs.
Hard situation as I can understand the Eels standpoint- why should Storm be able sign a player that shouldn’t be available, yet NRL don’t want lomax to go to union either

I’ve had a hunt around for it but can’t find it again, but eels have put a picture out in some regard of Utoikamanu sending an eels player back in a tackle. He was one initially of interest and sounds like that’s who they’re keen on acquiring

I see that the NRL pundit class hasn't learned anything from last year. So many of them already writing us and the Raiders off again even for a finals appearance. IMO we are currently a top 6 team who can push for the 4 again if we are luckier with injuries. We've already got a top tier pack with plenty of depth. Just a class winger and center short of being a genuine contender. Replicating last year's finish surely is the minimum standard this year.
