Laters bro...

"The Parramatta Eels can confirm that Zac Lomax has been granted an immediate release from his playing contract to pursue opportunities outside the NRL.

The Club would like to thank Zac for his contribution during his time with the Eels in 2025 and we wish him all the best for the future."

It sucks but we all knew it was going to happen. He'd have to be daft to turn down that money.

The Storm lost Paps and I guarantee no one is expecting them to be easy beats now - they just elevate their next superstar in waiting.

We lost one player and had a lot of notice that it was happening, our R&R must surely have a Plan B, C, D and E by now.

  Losing Paps closed their window for sure. They'll still be strong

Some sources linking Taulagi to St. George Illawarra. How in the hell are we not linked to him but are linked to Garrick?

Bailey has done his hammy before he gets on the field for pre season. Hope they have made progress on someone else.

You can't blame any player who leaves for the money they are being offerred. Imagine someone comes to you and says I will pay you three times as much for doing similar work. Just about everyone is taking it.

Good luck to him and thanks for being a great player for us for 2025.

  Good point, even if he plays for one year and gets the reported $3mil AUD, he would have needed to play 5 years before seeing that for Parramatta.
  
  If he plays 2 years, he is set for life with $6mil. He has no kids, is mid 20's, why not travel and earn a motza.

Well Braith Anastia was right.

parramatta has known this for some time now, that Lomax was leaving that's why they never released Simonson for. Ryles is smart he would have a plan knowing Lomax was going, otherwise he wouldn't of released him. Matterson will be next to go. We will definitely sign NAS now I reckon, but definitely need another 2 outside backs.

I reckon that Joash Papali will go into the wing in place of Lomax until they find a replacement

  Nah good fill in as emergency but not full-time starting.
