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.

I just heard that Melbourne are now offering Joey Chan.
He is also a distant relative to Jackie Chan - He could bring the fear factor to our pack
Son of the great man former parra player Alex Chan
Yeah an added bonus. Bring him home Sarantinos. Better than a 300k cheque
Right so they are getting to the point of hushing up Parra. Chan is ok but I would want a Flegg talent too.
Howarth is a real possibility if Lomax takes his Centre spot. Push for him and take Matto.
