Just now, Canberra Raiders CEO Don Furner has publicly dismissed rumours that his club was interested in signing out‑of‑contract NRL winger Zac Lomax, calling the speculation incorrect and unfounded. Furner responded after claims emerged — reportedly presented during Lomax’s legal proceedings — that suggested Canberra was among the clubs the star could join if cleared to play again. Furner rejected those assertions outright, saying the Raiders have had no contact with Lomax’s camp and never pursued him as a signing target. He emphasised that the suggestion Canberra showed interest was “factually incorrect”, adding the club wouldn’t have been in a position to sign him anyway due to salary cap constraints and the fact they are already well‑stocked in outside backs. Furner also made it clear that Lomax wasn’t on the Raiders’ radar at any stage.
The clarification aims to put an end to swirling transfer talk linking Canberra with the high‑profile winger, reinforcing the club’s position as they focus on confirmed recruitment plans and building their squad for the upcoming season. With Furner’s comments, fans and media are being urged to disregard the speculative links.
