- Fullback Max Burey said Lomax has "ripped into" training, while Kurtley Beale praised his physical presence and athleticism, adding depth alongside Test winger Dylan Pietsch's potential return.
- Queensland Reds hooker Matt Faessler acknowledged Lomax's capabilities but said "it will be interesting to see how he goes" against a hostile Suncorp Stadium crowd on debut.
- The Force enter Saturday's match with a 1-5 record, seeking a win to keep their season alive during this critical two-game road swing against top competition.
