Lomax, earmarked as a future NRL player, was the only St George Illawarra player picked to play Queensland in next Wednesday’s Origin curtain-raiser at ANZ Stadium.
“Zac is one of the most exciting young under 20 players,” Dragons recruitment manager Ian Millward said.
“He’s a good size, pace… a real big person, who has a big future with our club and he’s got a long-term contract.”
Gerringong’s Reuben Garrick and Jack Murchie – who plays for the Raiders – as well as Shellharbour junior Jai Field, Hooker Reece Robson and prop Blake Lawrie all played in the NSW under 20 win before game one in Brisbane.
They won 30-16, as the NSW Origin team went on to record a 28-4 victory over Queensland, their largest ever at Suncorp Stadium.
The NSW under 18 team is coached by Brad Fittler.
