\u201cWhen we introduced the 10-year bans, we said we would look at everything on its merit. And if there were unforeseen circumstances the ban wouldn\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this stage, we haven\u2019t seen any evidence to suggest that he signed anything (with R360) after we announced the ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a quote where someone said, \u2018Someone sold him a dream, and it became a nightmare\u2019, and it\u2019s so true.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would have counselled him. If I was advising him, that a contract\u2019s a contract, and you honour a contract, that\u2019s what I would advise him.<\/p>\n
\u201cZac went down a different path, but at the same time, don\u2019t over-penalise him.\u201d<\/p>\n
While V\u2019landys\u2019 comments are good news for Lomax and potentially the Storm, one ex-great believes the NRL didn\u2019t need to get involved in the saga.<\/p>\n
\u201cZac turned his back on the game,\u201d Fox League\u2019s Braith Anasta said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said, \u2018See you later\u2019, knowing there was going to be a ban, knowing how strict V\u2019landys was on the decision to turn your back on our game and go to R360. Knowing that he was walking out on a contract and letting down a team and a club and their fans, as one of their best players on a long-term deal.<\/p>\n
