WATCH: Field of Dreams finalistsR360-bound?: Lomax granted immediate release from Eels

The Parramatta Eels have confirmed star Zac Lomax has been granted an immediate release from the remainder of his contract.
Lomax departs the Eels after one season amidst strong rumours linking him to rebel rugby comp R360.
The NSW and Kangaroos representative joined the Eels in 2025 after exiting the St George-Illawarra Dragons, acting as a key piece in Jason Ryles' new era at the club.
However, it seems likely Lomax will defect to R360, and fall under the NRL's 10-year ban for players who negotiate or sign with R360.
"The Parramatta Eels can confirm that Zac Lomax has been granted an immediate release from his playing contract to pursue opportunities outside the NRL," an Eels club statement confirmed.
"The Club would like to thank Zac for his contribution during his time with the Eels in 2025 and we wish him all the best for the future."
