Fresh stoush in Lomax courtroom battle with Eels

Parramatta Eels file a NSW Supreme Court bid to block Zac Lomax’s move to Melbourne Storm.
The court heard nine emails between Lomax’s solicitor and his agent are claimed to be privileged.
The hearing is set weeks before the 2026 NRL season with a two-day directions hearing planned.
Melbourne Storm requested extra time to return documents about courting Lomax.
The case questions whether Lomax’s release terms were valid and enforceable.
Lomax previously sought a release to rugby union before the R360 competition collapsed.
The Eels claim a stalemate in mediation triggered the legal action.
Lomax, a three-cap Australian international, joined the Eels in 2025.
The NRL season begins March 1 in Las Vegas with clash between Storm and Eels.
The court battle continues as Lomax’s legal team argues privilege and disclosure limits.
