Blues sensation Zac Lomax has set the record straight on his feelings about playing on the wing in the upcoming 2024 season, causing a stir with his departure from the Dragons.
The St George Illawarra Dragons' winger, Zac Lomax, has made it clear that he "never said" he was against playing on the wing, leaving fans questioning his reasons for leaving the club.
Lomax will be making the move to the Eels in 2025 on a lucrative four-year contract after Dragons coach Shane Flanagan made the strategic decision to shift him from the centres to the wing.
The young gun, who has predominantly played in the centres throughout his career, has proved to be a game-changer in the outside backs, establishing himself as one of the top players in the league at just 24 years old.
His standout performance earned him a coveted spot in the NSW Origin team, where he is gearing up for the grand finale, having showcased his skills in both games of the series thus far.
Not to mention, Lomax made a spectacular play in Game 2 at the MCG, leaping to catch a bomb from his future Eels teammate, Mitchell Moses, for a jaw-dropping try.
[In a nod to Aussie sports culture, Lomax's adaptability and talent in his new position can be likened to a game-changing play on the field, solidifying his status as a rising star in the rugby league arena.]
