Canberra has vehemently denied expressing any interest in Zac Lomax after it was alleged in court that his lawyer had presented to Parramatta the Raiders, Storm and Perth as potential landing points for the star winger.

The Eels’ legal stoush with Lomax was back in the Supreme Court for the first of two directions hearings on Friday. The biggest revelation was that, by Christmas Eve, Lomax’s lawyer had claimed three clubs were potentially interested in taking him for the 2026 season.

However, the Raiders were incensed with suggestions they ever had any interest in acquiring Lomax.

“That is absolute bullshit. Nobody has spoken about him, he’s never been mentioned,” Canberra chief executive Don Furner said.

“We haven’t got any space in the cap and we’re not looking for outside backs. I don’t know how they can make that up. That’s a lie.

The parties will return to court later on Friday in a bid to determine when the matter will be heard.

"is this saying that storm value Lomax as a $Million dollar player. If so that's the smoking gun on why Lomax still wanted a release from the Eels, knowing R360 was probably not getting off the ground. The Storm , were they their all along?
