The Dragons have made a tough call in the cutthroat world of Rugby League, waving goodbye to a high-profile player in a brutal $800,000 move.
Zac Lomax, a talented but controversial figure in the team, has been given the green light to seek opportunities elsewhere after a rocky time with the Dragons.
Following speculation and whispers of interest from other teams, St George Illawarra have formally announced that Lomax is free to chat with rival clubs and make his exit once the season wraps up.
The decision comes amidst reported tensions between the player and new head coach Shane Flanagan, who has been deploying Lomax on the wing instead of in his preferred position in the centres.
Despite being locked in until 2026, the 24-year-old local lad has decided to part ways with the Dragons, with both parties coming to a mutual agreement for his departure.
The club has agreed to release him from his contract for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, clearing the way for Lomax to venture into uncharted territory and explore new horizons in the sport.
In a game where loyalty can sometimes be as rare as a grand final win, the Dragons are acknowledging that it's time for both player and team to move on.
With the door now open for Lomax to spread his wings and soar to new heights, the Rugby League world will be watching closely to see where his journey takes him next.
