In a classic case of footy drama, reports are swirling that Dragons' gun player Zac Lomax wants out and is ready to make a break for it as the Eels sniff around for his talents.
St George Illawarra are bracing themselves for a request for Lomax's immediate release, but they're not about to let him go without a fight.
According to footy insider Michael Carayannis, the Dragons are playing hardball and want something in return for losing their star outside back.
Lomax has been itching to make a break for it all season after being shifted to the wing by new coach Shane Flanagan, instead of playing in his favorite center position.
Despite being a standout player for the Dragons this season, the situation has become a real headache for the team.
Last week, skipper Ben Hunt spilled the beans that Lomax is dead-set on leaving, and it seems like the club is finally ready to have that tough conversation about his potential exit after round four.
It looks like this showdown is shaping up to be a real nail-biter for Dragons fans, as they wait to see if Lomax will be given the green light to make a move to a new club.
