Parramatta Eels Bombshell: Zac Lomax Released Immediately
Parramatta released Zac Lomax from his contract with a clause restricting him from joining other NRL clubs without permission amid speculation he will join Rugby 360.
- Parramatta Eels granted Zac Lomax an immediate release on November 16, 2025, freeing him from the final three years of his contract to pursue opportunities outside the NRL.
- The Eels suspect Lomax will join the breakaway Rugby 360 competition, which is slated to begin late 2026 and so far has no public signings.
- After joining Parramatta from St George Illawarra on a $700K deal, Lomax played 19 games in 2025 after 114 with the Dragons.
- The deal includes a restriction on Lomax's NRL options, barring him from signing with another NRL club without Parramatta Eels’ permission, while ARLC chair Peter V'landys warns of 10-year suspensions for R360 signees.
- Lomax's exit frees salary cap space allowing Parramatta roster moves, supporting Josh Addo-Carr's re-signing and Jonah Pezet's one-season cameo, while reports link Rugby 360 to multi-million offers.
