Just thinking what I can actually say here in the open forum, so I'll pick my words VERY carefully.
You know the saying "don't quit your day job".. well he hasn't. The blokes a real estate agent by trade. That's his day job. Selling houses and property. As a player agent... Lombardi is a rookie.
He started his NRL player management business Feb 2019, so he's only a few months in.
He currently manages:
Luciano Leilua (fringe first grader) and Joe Lovodua (reggies) from Dragons.
Asipeli Fine - playing reggies in Qld at last count.
Lewis, Holland, To'omaga, and Crichton from Bulldogs.
But I bet people don't realise this... Lombardi organised their houses, AND Lewis is neighbours with Damien Cook down in the shire.
SUMMARY: Lombardi has absolutely no leverage and .... well he's a real estate agent...that's about as much as I can say here.
