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."

Moderators please get him of the Banner Immediately
Hear Hear....a black blob would be better
Fucking like yesterday.
Well frak me, the Eels cannot take a frikkin' trick. I guess everyone knows NOT to believe a word Lomax says nor that of his manager Clinton Schifcofske says.
Lomax had said at the Dally M's that he is loving his time at the Eels and contracted so, yeah, nothing to see. Quick google shows Lomax also loved the Dragons. Apparently.
Schifcofske even issued a 'categorical' assurance the players he managed would not berak a contract to defect:
- "I can categorically tell you if something happened, even going to another club, none of my players would ever break a contract" (1st October media article).
Good 'ol former-Eel Schifcofske is apparenrly the manger for Papenhagendaz and Gray, both linked to R360 too: FoxLeague story about tosser Schifcofske
Does the Eels issuing an "immediaste release" mean Lomax could skirt the threatened 10-year ban for "breaking a contract" to defect to R360? Is Lomax breaking a contract if the club releases him? Lawyers come on down!
As i said earlier today Daz, Lomax and his management, as all do, say the right things. Lomax said he was happy and contracted what was he going to say? "Nah i want to go to R360 but Parra aren't happy about it so im here til they let me go".
Jye Gray ended staying though.
But good question as the 10 year ban is it for joining R360 altogether or breaking contract to do so?
That's what I found interesting in the wording of the statement "Zac Lomax has been granted an immediate release from his playing contract". I'm not sure what legal/contractual issues are involved when we have allowed him to leave.
Speechless
And such a slide in form towards the back end
This news made me so depressed lmao. Like everytime we have an elite combos or something brewing someone throws a spanner in and we never recover from it.
Really trying not to ask Randette for a Lomax voodoo doll and the knitting needle
You can read the Daily Mail article where Lomax's manager (Clinton Schifscofske) is interviewed, on 1 October 2025, and uses very obvious legalise to say the players he is managing will not go to R360 while contracted. Paywalled but available here via archive.md:
Daily Mail, 1 October article
I mean, you judge for yourself how much BS good old Clinton is coming out with here:
