"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."

Exactly. We are losing a winger, not the best prop in the game or a fullback, other clubs are going to be hit harder than us by this r360.
Let's be realistic about this, the only thing lomax gave us last season was good yardage and a high work rate, he has no speed, was not an asset to our attack, poor defence and his goal kicking was terrible for modern standards. We weren't getting $650k value out of him and that's why the club let him go without a fight.
We will need to find an experienced replacement though for this season.
I mean true, some here value Wingers highly fair enough. To me i feel they are important but other positions are way more important. I even felt $650k was too much for a Winger, but only slightly. The only Winger at the moment i would feel comfortable giving that money to is Brian To'o.
I wonder what it would take to get Murray Taulagi down here.
Cowboys not offering him a deal for 27 so maybe we could get him a year early.
Really? Where did you see that? I would be entertaining that quickly.
Zero Tackle.
Brent Read said earlier that Murray Taulagi "was leaving" the Cowboys. Make of that what you will.
Earlier as in a few weeks ago or earlier yesterday type thing?
I can't understand how this club can't produce wingers, ever other club has a stack of wingers waiting for an opportunity but we can't even produce one. Lomax recruited, addo-carr recruited, simmonson recruited, sivo recruited, even semi was recruited but without first grade experience.
That is an issue, most clubs have wingers in development and overloaded with them. Eels just seem to have forwards and halves
The last great winger we developed was who?
