Huge pay cut for Lomax as Eels deal revealed
Zac Lomax will reportedly sacrifice as much as $600,000 by leaving St George Illawarra and joining Parramatta.
That’s according to veteran journalist Neil Breen, who revealed the numbers of 2GB’s Continuous Call Team on Sunday.
Lomax was last week granted permission to leave the Dragons at the end of this current season, ditching his lucrative contract two years before it was due to expire.
He had requested a release several times and eventually the Red V relented in letting him walk at the end of this year.
The 24-year-old met with Parramatta immediately after last week’s permission from the Dragons.
Breen says while the Eels will table a three-year offer to Lomax this week, it will be significantly less lucrative than his Red V deal.
Lomax is pocketing $800,000 from the Dragons this year, and that was reportedly set to rise to $850,000 next year and $875,000 in 2026.
