Zac Lomax is reportedly being targeted by rebel competition Rugby 360, with the Eels aware of the potential move that could amount to a mammoth $1.3 million switch.<\/p>\n

According to Code Sports, Parramatta powerbrokers are aware Lomax is reportedly interested in a move to the rival code, but it remains to be seen whether he would be granted a release.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is contracted until the end of the 2028 season after making the switch from the Dragons ahead of the club\u2019s 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

The R360 competition will reportedly begin in September 2026, meaning he would need to depart with two years remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The talented winger is reportedly earning $650,000 on his current deal but that figure could soar to more than double should he join R360.<\/p>\n

Lomax is the latest in a list of rugby league targets of the rebel competition, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Ryan Papenhuyzen also linked with a move.<\/p>\n

For the R360 competition to begin, 200 players reportedly need to be signed by the end of September and it remains to be seen if the rebel league will eventuate.<\/p>\n

Speaking on NRL360, former Wallabies mentor Michael Cheika had his say on whether R360 has the potential to take over.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players that are in this particular iteration of it, they\u2019re coming in a slightly different way,\u201d Cheika said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019ve got a big broadcaster with them or anything. I think they\u2019re trying to build the comp and then take it to someone else, so a lot of it is conditional work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the idea, the concept of something new, is right. I think it\u2019s there for the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether these guys can pull it off, I\u2019m not 100 per cent sure, because I\u2019d like to see something a bit more solid, broadcaster, that type of momentum behind it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zac Lomax is reportedly being targeted by rebel competition Rugby 360, with the Eels aware of the potential…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,4428,55832,8092,763,53986,1082,4466,55831,761,762,158,2629,2625,55830,4439,85,53979,55829,1651],"class_list":["post-71112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-conditional-work","tag-field-goal","tag-fox-league","tag-golden-point-epic","tag-latrell-mitchell","tag-melbourne-storm","tag-michael-cheika","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-rebel-rugby","tag-roger-tuivasa-sheck","tag-rugby-league-targets","tag-south-sydney-rabbitohs","tag-sports","tag-storm-skipper","tag-talented-winger","tag-wayne-bennett"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
