While Addo-Carr remains fully focused on his first season with the Eels, the Foxx confirmed he has stayed in regular contact with Lomax amid the ongoing dispute surrounding his future.<\/p>\n
Parramatta released Lomax from the final three years of his contract late last year, but included a clause preventing him from playing for another NRL<\/a> club without the Eels’ approval.<\/p>\n Lomax is now pushing to join the Melbourne Storm<\/a>, a move that has sparked a legal standoff between the player and his former club.<\/p>\n Despite the uncertainty, Addo-Carr said he simply hopes the situation is resolved in the best way possible for Lomax.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s completely up to the NRL<\/a> and what’s going on there,\u201d Addo-Carr told the Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Zac’s a good mate of mine and I’m happy with whatever he does.<\/p>\n \u201cI just check in and see how he’s going, that’s about it.\u201d<\/p>\n A failed pursuit of Lomax by Super League<\/a> club R360 earlier this year left the former State of Origin<\/a> winger searching for a pathway back into the NRL<\/a>, before the Storm emerged as a potential destination.<\/p>\n While the Lomax saga has dominated headlines in recent months, Addo-Carr said it hasn’t been a major talking point within the Eels’ playing group, with attention instead turning to Parramatta’s new-look squad for 2026.<\/p>\n
