In a fiery response, Dragons coach Shane Flanagan has shut down any comparisons between Zac Lomax's situation and the Ben Hunt saga, following a turbulent week in the rugby league world.
After announcing Lomax's early release from his hefty contract, the Dragons faced backlash, with Maroons coach Billy Slater accusing the club of hypocrisy due to their handling of Ben Hunt's request for a release in the past.
Flanagan, feeling the heat from reporters, made his stance clear, dismissing any talks of a player swap involving Lomax and firmly stating that the young winger will be staying put for the remainder of the season.
With the rugby league rumour mill churning, Flanagan put an end to the noise, saying, "There is no player swap going on.
Zac is here for the rest of the year, I don't know where all of that has come from.
We'll just move on and hopefully this is the last time we speak about it." Let's see if Flanagan's words put an end to the speculation or if this is just the beginning of more drama in the rugby league world.
