League legend Brad Fittler<\/a> has expressed his disbelief at why Zac Lomax<\/a> is leaving the Dragons<\/a> after his "freakish" try assist against the Knights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lomax produced a moment that had to be seen to be believed when he threw a no-look 10-metre flick pass to Ben Hunt who scored.<\/p>\n

Hunt's four-pointer put the Dragons in front 10-6 during the first half, however, the sensational moment was to no avail with the Knights eventually running away with a 30-10 victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With rain coming down heavily at \ufeffMcDonald Jones Stadium, the Knights scored first through recalled half Jackson Hastings.<\/p>\n

Lomax then scored in the 13th minute before he produced his insane moment eight minutes later to put the Dragons in front. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"What have we just seen?," commentator Mat Thompson said on Nine. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"That was freakish\ufeff," Andrew Johns added.<\/p>\n

Lomax will leave the Dragons at the end of the year after the club accepted his release request due to his unhappiness\ufeff at playing on the wing.<\/p>\n

However, Fittler can't believe it after he's started the season as one of the form players in the competition. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"Why is he going anywhere? He's never played better," he said.<\/p>\n

Newcastle wrestled back a 24-10 lead at half-time with tries to Enari Tuala, Daniel Saifiti and Dylan Lucas.<\/p>\n

Despite the Knights' lead, league icon Phil Gould was still raving about the pass at the break while expressing his frustration with the Dragons defence. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"T\ufeffhis goes into the Benji Marshall class of freak passes," he said.<\/p>\n

"I thought the next 20 minutes from the Dragons was pretty disappointing."<\/p>\n

The rain didn't stop in the second half, with coach Shane Flanagan pulling a shock switch with Lomax shifted to the fullback and Tyrell Sloan on the wing.<\/p>\n

It didn't make too much of a difference, with the Knights scoring one more try through Kalyn Ponga in the 73rd minute to wrap up a 30-10 win. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
