Canberra and Perth have refuted claims regarding their interest in signing Zac Lomax. These denials surfaced after Lomax's lawyer reportedly presented both clubs as potential options for the star winger during a court hearing with Parramatta.

The legal dispute involving the Eels and Lomax took center stage at the Supreme Court, where the first of two directions hearings took place on Friday. A notable disclosure revealed that by Christmas Eve, Lomax's lawyer had indicated that three teams might be interested in acquiring him for the 2026 season.

Parramatta, Lomax's previous club, has initiated legal proceedings in the NSW Supreme Court. They aim to prevent the talented center from signing with the Storm after his release last year, intending to join the now postponed Rugby 360 competition.

"On the evidence that we've got from the production material, there was contact made by his lawyer with the club to propose three different clubs for Mr Lomax to go to potentially," stated Arthur Moses, the barrister representing Parramatta.
