Fox Sports has done a fictional piece on what player each NRL club would have to release if they wanted a fair trade for Zac Lomax.

Read it here: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2026-what-each-team-could-offer-for-zac-lomax-trade-eels-storm-where-will-he-go-opinion-analysis-news/news-story/90ec6e24c04a502782b4f19952b30f22?fbclid=IwY2xjawPhLTRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFzbkdPNERnUm1DUTlXRGpoc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjBo4CEfji2jwXTIy0TV67BqKUvTl1hPKK-32k5Avn2n89Fs3kXkDrQR3s0e_aem_OMtx-BtvSVb_c_WYE9Te4w

It's probably a good assessment of our current player roster than it is anything else.

The Storm are probably the favourites to land Lomax if the Eels are willing to do a deal in time, but foxsports.com.au have taken a look at what every NRL club could offer the Eels in a realistic player swap where it would be a win-win for all sides involved

  • I'd take Burton in a heart beat. Knock knock Mr Gould have you ever met Zac.

    • Agreed. he would solve our looming (from 2027) halves conundrum. People don't like him because he's a merkin, but that merkin can play.

      • I'd have no issues with Burton. I have an issue of Lomax with the Dogs.

  • Brimson I don't mind actually. He's a risk but could be a nice piece at 6 in 2027.

  • To'a? Foketi? Hubner!!????

    • I know some are laughable.

  • A good young player that will add value to our football program over time is ok, I reckon.

    Someone like Mariner or T'oa and another decent youngster in an identified position (e.g. #6) would probably be acceptable.
