It was a night to remember at CommBank Stadium as the Parramatta Eels faithful erupted into thunderous cheers following superstar Zac Lomax’s emotional declaration — “I’m not going anywhere!” The NSW Origin standout and Eels sensation reaffirmed his loyalty to the blue and gold in front of a sellout crowd, sending a surge of pride and passion through Western Sydney.
The moment came just minutes after Parramatta’s 30–16 victory over the Brisbane Broncos, a match in which Lomax played a starring role. The electric centre, who has been at the heart of recent transfer rumors, took the microphone during the post-game celebrations and silenced all speculation with one powerful sentence that shook the stands.
“This is my home. These are my people. I’m not going anywhere!” Lomax declared to roaring applause.
The declaration immediately went viral across social media, with Eels fans flooding platforms with hashtags like #BlueAndGoldForever and #LomaxLoyalty. The scene encapsulated everything Parramatta stands for — unity, belief, and a deep connection between players and their passionate fanbase.
Club captain Clint Gutherson praised Lomax’s statement, calling it a reflection of the culture shift within the Eels’ locker room.
“Zac’s a world-class player and an even better teammate. His energy lifts everyone around him, and hearing him commit like that means a lot — not just to us, but to every supporter in the stands,” Gutherson said.
Lomax’s journey with the Eels has been nothing short of remarkable. Since his arrival from St George Illawarra, the 24-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the NRL’s most electrifying players. His blend of speed, strength, and finesse has made him a nightmare for defenders — and a fan favorite in Parramatta’s attacking arsenal.
Coach Brad Arthur couldn’t hide his pride after the game, noting how Lomax’s leadership and attitude have set new standards for the squad.
“What Zac said tonight sums up everything this club is about — heart, commitment, and pride in the jersey,” Arthur said. “He’s not just staying because of a contract. He’s staying because he believes in what we’re building.”
As fireworks lit up the Parramatta night sky and fans chanted his name, Lomax waved to the crowd, clearly moved by the overwhelming support. The scene at CommBank wasn’t just about one player’s decision — it was a symbol of a team and community united in purpose.
For Eels fans, it was more than an announcement; it was a moment of passion, pride, and promise.
This is belief. This is loyalty. This is Parramatta!
