  • They can say all they want but in my opinion it's a really dumb idea. Actually stupid idea. I don't see the point in having a player on a 'speed bump' contract! It's not going to benefit Joash Papali or the Eels team as a whole. They get used to playing together with Pezet for a season then he's off to the broncos 

    • 100% correct.

      If anything, this sets us back another year but as it's been 40 years already, I guess another year won't hurt.

      There's always the year after or the year after that or the year after that.....................etc

  • The thing about all these journalists talking up the deal is you know damn well they would all be ripping the eels a new one if pezet was managed by any other manager then Anasta. Imagine the outrage if he was managed by Isaac moses.

    • Hkf we now have to get over it, its done.  Let’s move on.

      He doesn't want to be a 6, he wanted to be the main organiser. 

      That's life mate.  He's played 7 his whole life and sees himself in that position.   

      Let's leave it to Ryles on how he uses him and be positive.  Ryles is doing a fine job of turning over the roster.  It takes time.  

      • I don't have an issue with pezet, he did what was best for him and got a great result. My issue is with ryles for being sucked into the deal and mon and the club for allowing it.

        I never going to get over this deal, it's such a ridiculously bad one for the eels that could haunt the club for years.

        Let's see how ok with the deal everyone is going to be at the end of next season,  you can guarantee the club will be torn to threads in the media once pezet departs for the broncos and the eels are still without a 6 for 2027.

        • Ok so if we didn't get him for this year,  who replaces Moses now that Footy Dean, who was always going to England. 

          So if moses is out what?   Are you going to have Lorenzo Talititiana chosen at 7 - hes straight out of sg ball.  - cmon

          Are you going to put Volkman at 7.   How many games would we win with Volkman.   I'll tell you zero. You want Parramatta to throw 2026 in the rubbish bin.

          So you want Parramatta to just dismiss 2026 because you fear the media at the end of season 

          If we finish Last without Pezet,  we'll also be the laughing stock you know that right.  At least with Pezet, it gives us a chance to win. And also gives Ryles time to sort out our spine going forward. 

          Who are your halves if moses goes down hkf.  

          • If Pezet didn't sign i doubt we release Hawkins.

            • Bingo.

              It's not coincidence Hawkins was released just after news broke of the likely pezet signing.

              Chief you have been fooled by the club, now that Hawkins has been released it is essential that the pezet deal gets done.

              • Cmon -  why do you think Dean Hawkins was nowhere to be seen in the last 4 rounds. 

                After Iongi came back from injury,  and Joash went to 5/8 taking Dean's spot, why do you think Footy Dean was nowhere to be seen , not in first grade, not on the bench,  and not in reserve grade -  is that normal ????

                I felt something was going on there, a player doesn't usually get left out of all grades.  It was obvious Footy Dean was on the outer back in July- August

                You guys think this all just happened in the last few weeks bs.   Dean was on the outer. It was obvious to everyone.   

                You better take your coca coca bottle glasses of.  And explain why Dean was left out of all grades for a month and then didn't even play for reserve grade in the finals.    Talk about blind Freddy lol

                Take your tin foil hats off boys

                So you think Dean organised the super league deal in the last week or two.  Cmon .  I mean thats just ridiculous 

          • I don't give a fuck about the media but I do give a fuck about the eels beyond 2026. 

            Stop believing the bullshit that the eels are in to win the comp in 2026, we would be more a chance in 2027 and 2028 if we moved forward with a stable spine starting in 2026.

            If pezet plays 7 in Reggie's and only plays first grade when one of the halves is out i would be OK with this deal but I highly doubt that is what is going to happen.
