Showdown Locked in for Eels, Lomax NRL Courtroom Biff
The Parramatta Eels seek to enforce a condition preventing Zac Lomax from joining another NRL club without consent until 2028 to protect their football program.
- On Thursday, the Parramatta National Rugby League Club launched civil action in the NSW Supreme Court to enforce Zac Lomax's release conditions, with the case listed for Friday and Arthur Moses SC representing them.
- Lomax requested a release to pursue rugby union opportunities with R360, and the release documentation, registered with the NRL, barred him from joining another NRL club without written consent before 31 October 2028.
- When the Storm approached late last year, Parramatta said Lomax, a three-cap Australian international, scored nine tries and kicked 53 goals in 19 games.
- Protecting its contractual rights, Parramatta says it must seek court enforcement after offering Zac Lomax and his agent chances to explore moves with one of the other 16 NRL clubs, while the NRL and RLPA remain aware and concerned.
- With R360's kick-off delayed, Zac Lomax has been left in limbo after mediation broke down following his talks with Melbourne Storm, while the NRL warned it could step in if the dispute drags on.
