This one I do not mind actually. I loved Dean but he is a back-up. Pezet can play that back-up 7 role, as in moves from 6 to 7, better I would presume. He was off-contract in 2026 anyway so we needed a new person to take over and this helps with developing Lorenzo in Cup.
Ok so got me thinking. With Hawkins released, this was planned for a while. Is this Pezet deal simply Ryles covering for Moses all along? Would we agree Pezet would be better at replacing Moses than Hawkins? I think some would agree.
Is it simply Hawkins got a deal, wanted to go and Ryles thinks he needs someone for when Moses misses time as he saw how that stuffed us last year. Plus it helps whoever is at 6.
I'd say that's it. Ryles wants to carefully manage our young halves, rather than throwing them into the NRL. I also think the off-season will determine who gets the 6 jersey for game 1.
"He thinks we are not a powerhouse club as if we haven't been around for 90 years, with the biggest facility in the NRL and teams keep cherry picking our juniors. While everyone looks down at the Eels and mainly because our managers are weak. They…"
"He even said people were fine with 1 year when it was just going to be a loan with him going back to the storm, what's the difference. Who was fine with that?, i wasn't. "

He said we got him cheap for what he is, the calibre of player he is. Wtf does that even mean?, is $300k cheap or $700k cheap?.
Another dumb move by the club
Whys that. Dean will always be a journeyman. In England at least he'll be a guaranteed starter
yep

He asked for a release to secure his long term future. As did Gutho and Reg. Hawkins pursuing Super League in England. Genius, I would have thought.
Nice little stint at Parra, he's prob at an age he needs to chase game time probably super leauge bound. Volkman can be the 7 for cup
He is going to super league.
If the plan is to play pezet in reserve grade than I'm ok with the deal but I read it was a lucrative 1 year deal which raises questions.

Ok still weird but I'm slowly getting there.
