Zac Lomax in last-minute negotiations as he chases Eels exit

Zac Lomax and Parramatta lawyers requested more time to settle the contract dispute ahead of a NSW Supreme Court hearing.
The case centers on Lomax’s potential release from the Eels so he can join Melbourne for 2026.
Melbourne Storm have made three offers to free Lomax, the latest reportedly $300,000 with $211,000 in salary-cap relief.
The adjournment was granted by Justice Francois Kunc to allow continued settlement talks.
Lomax’s legal action could delay his return to the NRL if a settlement isn’t reached before round four.
Parramatta Eels are seeking compensation related to Lomax’s proposed move to the Storm.
The Storm’s interest centers on Lomax after Xavier Coates was ruled out until round 10.
Zac Lomax’s move to Melbourne would require release from the Eels under the terms of his current contract.
A settlement could allow Lomax to return to rugby league early in the Storm’s season.
Jim Sarantinos and Arthur Moses SC represented the Eels in court on the Lomax file.
