yep
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.
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 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.
Ok still weird but I'm slowly getting there.
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.
Just looking at how we finished the season so strongly and a few of those top 8 sides fell to bits, I think Ryles sees a small window there for us to push into the 8 and give this thing a go. If our best 17 is on the park we are better then the dogs warriors raiders. Just need to keep our best 17 healthy
