This move is awesome couldn't be happier. We beat the Brisbane Roosters Warriors just lost to Melbourne shown back end of the year we were one of best in nrl. Throw in Pezet as a bridge for Lorenzo who needs a year to stand the physical nature of 1st grade we a real threat . We are using Pezet as much he is using us

Most of all EA, Joash plays with supreme ticker. Wants to be part of a team and be a better player for the team.
Pezet had some very strong games towards the end of the season when replacing Hughes. But he could end up being the next Billy Rogers.
Do not like this one year contract whatsoever.
Papalii is an eels fan as a kid and loves the club. He wants to improve and for the club to do well. Pezet is just coming here to use us and then fuck off to broncos. Not the culture you want at a rebuilding club.
Agree mate. The major selling point of Pezet was as a sucessor to Moses. A 1 year deal wipes that out. He is a development player himself, its not like getting a finished product like Munster for a year. I dont think there has been an eels recruitment decision that has pissed me off more than this lol
Well said Sonic Boom.
Agree wholeheartedly with your post.
Exactly, he held his own in defence and his ball playing was already better the Drowns. They also mentioned he was carrying an injury. A good preseason and he could easily have stepped up.
Plus he actually wants to be here. I heard all year that that was very important.
Pezet is a strong kicker but we already have that covered.
Here's the most disappointing part: we have known Dylan Brown was leaving since before our season started and we appear no closer to finding a replacement.
8 months have passed. What have MON and co been doing?
If Pezet on a 1 year loan and then having no 6 right when new clubs are entering the competition at the worst possible time to recruit a half is the plan, it's the worst plan in existence.
We have had a full season to get a deal done and this is where we landed.
It's absolutely shameful.
What 6s were available none or very few. Galvin was always going to belmore and Pezet wants to play 7
We put effort into developing Talagi, it backfired.
We put effort into retaining Brown, it backfired.
We put effort into chasing Galvin, it backfired.
All of that effort could have been put into long term backroom conversations elsewhere. You say Galvin was always going to the Dogs...and why is that? Because they were working on it behind the scenes for ages, and they got their man.
All of our efforts so far seem to have come to nothing. Let's be honest, what's the bet we've had no conversations with the good halves available in 2027 and we're putting all our eggs in the basket of an untested junior.
I'm not saying Pezet is the answer, I also don't think Galvin was. I'm just dismayed at the absolute consistent failure of our R&R to have any strategic nous or negotiation success. It's a killer for the club. Look at the Broncos roster compared to ours, and they're still able to buy in choice talent.
1,000,000%
We beat full strength Brisbane at Suncorp no Iongi or Brown.
Talagi wanted play in halves we didnt know Brown would leave to unlucky infact it took biggest contract ever to lure Brown away. Lorenzo excelling at nsw cup changed our perspective and gave us confidence making him long term 6
