Eels Grant Zac Lomax Immediate Release to Pursue Opportunities Outside NRL

Club officials expect him to target Rugby 360 under an NRL warning of a 10-year ban for players who sign with the breakaway competition.

Overview

  • Parramatta confirmed Lomax’s immediate exit in a club statement, releasing the winger from the remainder of his deal.
  • Reporting states the release covers the final three years of his contract, estimated at about $700,000 per season.
  • One condition of the release prevents him from joining another NRL club without the Eels’ express permission, according to reporting.
  • The club says Lomax has not disclosed his plans, though it suspects he will move to Rugby 360.
  • The roster reshuffle leaves Josh Addo-Carr secured through 2027 on a one-year extension, with Bailey Simonsson viewed as the likely replacement on the wing.
