In a recent development that has sent shockwaves through the rugby league world, the Parramatta Eels have finally broken their silence on the swirling rumors surrounding NSW Blues sensation Zac Lomax.
The talented winger, who is set to join the Eels in 2025, has been at the center of speculation that he may have a change of heart and choose to stay with the Dragons instead.
The drama surrounding Lomax's future has intensified following the dismissal of former coach Brad Arthur and the Eels' lackluster performance on the field, leaving them in a fierce battle for the Wooden Spoon alongside the Wests Tigers and Gold Coast Titans.
Despite signing a lucrative four-year deal with Parramatta, there are whispers in the rugby league community that Lomax may be tempted to stay at the Red V under the guidance of Shane Flanagan.
Amidst all the uncertainty and speculation, Eels CEO Jima Sarantinos has moved to reassure fans that Lomax remains committed to donning the blue and gold jersey next season.
"We have full confidence that Zac will honor his contract and be a key player for the Eels in the upcoming season," Sarantinos stated in an interview with News Corp.
As the rugby league world eagerly awaits Lomax's final decision, one thing remains certain - the Eels are determined to hold onto their prized recruit and unleash his talents on the field in the seasons to come.
Rugby league fans everywhere will be watching closely as this saga unfolds, eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this gripping sporting tale.
