Lomax Update - Zac Lomax entered into preliminary contracts with R360 and the Melbourne Storm prior to being given his blessing by Parramatta

Posted by Clintorian on February 3, 2026 at 4:18pm in NRL

The article can be found on Fox Sports.

For the more savvy legal eagles on the site, what does this mean and does it implicate the Storm as it proves they engaged in illegal dealings with a player under contract?

Not only is this looking real bad for them, it looks increasingle poor optics for Lomax who showed little regard for the contract's worth and value not only with Parra, but also the NRL.

It would be nice to see a little backbone here by the NRL and not screw over Parra for doing the right thing by the player, even though Storm and Lomax look Guilty AF.

Bring in the Integrity Unit for this one and buckle up, I think we're going to see even more shady shenannigans.

  Haha absolutely. He has actually 'tripped' himself up a few times today
  one of the best ones was how he implied we needed to free up cap space to sign pezet and tried to ship Lomax off haha as if Dylbags money was not enough to sign pezet ...funny stuff.
  
  His words are trash compared to our Beach ;)

    Not to mention we signed Pezet a month before releasing Lomax

      Anasta has come out and said Pezet deal was worked after Lomax release was set to 🤣

      Haha! The pezet thing takes the cake, but it's not the only one hehe keep up or Tripp
      Carlo, ain't it great to be us for once in this ugly mess. Our Beach has been very very good with his words and I'd love to hear Moses' in court. Reckon he will dish up a delight :)
      
      if we don't win it's gonna be absolutely devastating but I'll still be pleased thst we stuck it right up storm and ultimately the nrl too 🤞

  You know how the joke goes that if you attend a sports game in Tasmania with 10kor more people, there will still be only about 10 families represented? Well here in Melbourne if you go to AAMI with 20k Storm fans there are only 10 brains in attendance, and half of those are the few Brave Eels fans there. Only this is not a joke. It's fact
