Zac Lomax has reportedly engaged a lawyer in an attempt to secure an unconditional release from the Parramatta Eels so he can join the Melbourne Storm.
It’s believed his legal team will argue that the situation is unfair and that their client now simply wants to play rugby league — despite the fact that only weeks ago he indicated he didn’t want to play at all. Chasing money often comes with consequences.
It’s unclear which lawyer he has approached, but you can expect plenty complaints and noise to follow.
For mine Lomax fought against the Parramatta club in a bid to get out of the contract he chose to sign. This left the Eels in a no win situation, as if we had forced Lomax to play against his will, that usually doesn't end well. But Lomax left the club in a predicament, with more cap dollars with minimal recruitment opportunities available in his position. We were banking on him to fulfil his 4 year deal.
We made the commitment, he broke the commitment. Either we get a like for like player from the Storm or its no deal Eddie.

i dont understand. He agreed to the terms before he left. Can you possibly have a leg to stand on? Is he going to say they held a gun to my head and thats why i signed it?
Storm prob advised no problem we can sort that es given the circumstances of Katoa being out they'll be very confident thry can work that. Reckon he sought legal advice before signing can't imagine his manager be thst stupid not too.
it's so much of a dirty pool act to wait until we've confirmed new signings!😡 absolutely blows my mind that we'd even consider helping these arseholes including Lomax. We must not let ourselves be the suckers A gain!
reckon every fan in nrl would be hoping we stand up strongly to this!
Katoa is a melb problem. I still cant understand how they have a leg to stand on
I really think the Storm have been in Lomax's ear way before we all think. Id say as soon as 360 fell through, the Storm were in contact pushing him to go ahead with wanting the release.
Also so conveniently they have a million just sitting in their cap.
This guy is going to be public enemy No 1 if he ends up playing for the Storm. What a wanker
HEY PLOPPA REMBER U CARRYING ON LIKE A FWT WHEN I HAD MY DOUBTS ABOUT DOEMAX ATTITUDE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON AND AS PER NORMAL YOU WENT OFF LIKE AN IMBECILE FOR SOMEONE HAVING A DIFFERING OPINION TO YOURS, U REALLY ARE A BLIGHT ON HERE!!!!
NO DOUBT U HAVE BALLS THE SIZE OF RAISINS AND ADMIT THAT U WERE A FWT FOR THE SAKE OF BEING A FWT 🖕🖕🖕
Worse comes to worse parramatta takes him back and make him honour his contract. Screw Melbourne. I would take coates or no one. They don't get to choose. Even if lomax wins in court. The nrl are within there rights to not registered his contract.
Apparently the argument is it's a restriction of trade. Parramatta has moved on and so should he be allowed to move on. All speculation of course.
