R360 Bombshell Leaves Zac Lomax in Shock Limbo
The NRL conversation exploded overnight following a dramatic segment on Rugby 360, where panellists delivered what many fans are calling the “R360 bombshell.” In a fiery discussion about roster direction and performance benchmarks, the show suggested that certain players at the Dragons “would not meet standards” set by the club’s evolving high-performance program. While no player was named directly, the commentary immediately sent speculation swirling around Zac Lomax, whose future at the club has been a topic of debate for months.
Lomax has been one of the Dragons’ most naturally gifted players—an athletic, high-impact outside back capable of turning games on their head. But with the club shifting toward a new identity under its current leadership, every roster spot is being scrutinised. The R360 panel’s suggestion that some players may fall short of the organisation’s expectations has left Lomax’s camp—and a chunk of the fan base—seeking clarity.
Sources familiar with the situation emphasised that there is no official statement from the Dragons indicating any change to Lomax’s immediate status. Instead, the broadcast appears to reflect the broader pressure across the league: rebuilding teams want consistency, professionalism, and alignment with long-term strategy. Any player—star or not—faces review in that environment.
Still, the timing of the segment raises questions. Lomax has shown flashes of elite form this season, and several rival clubs have expressed interest should he become available. If the Dragons are indeed lifting their internal standards, Lomax could either be a centrepiece of their revival—or a valuable asset in a potential roster shake-up.
For now, the only certainty is uncertainty. The R360 bombshell has reignited the conversation, and all eyes will remain fixed on the Dragons to see whether this shock moment leads to meaningful change or fades as just another headline-driven flare-up.
