There seems to be many fans that are not happy with the 1 year deal for Pezet. Personally, I'm not sure that Pezet and Moses will work as a halves combination. I see them both as creative game controlling players. I think the best option as a five eighth to play alongside Moses is a bigger body running five eighth. I have no problem with the 1 year deal for Pezet if Ryles has another player in mind for 2027. The Eels look a far better side in 26 with Pezet than without him.
So the question remains, if Pezet was only wanting a 1 year deal for 2026, would you prefer the Eels didn't offer him the deal at all?

Ryles is doing his mate a solid and is going to get him ready to be a dominant player for the broncos.
Ryles has taken a massive step backwards in my eyes.
If we don't have a quality 6 , be it a junior or recruit, ready to start 2027 on fire I'll be wanting blood from ryles.
Were you in favour of signing him prior to the 1 year story came out? I know many 1 eyed members were very much in favour of signing Pezet. I really can't see how or why Pezet would leave Melbourne to be a reserve grade player elsewhere. Surely he has been offered either the starting #6 or #7, or at least the #14. Maybe Ryles has a half-back in mind for 2027 and Moses will become a running five eighth. In my opinion, Moses is more suited to the five eighth position than Pezet is. Moses playing #6 in Origin has worked well with Cleary ( a controlling half-back) partnering him. No matter how you look at it, having Moses and Pezet in the Eels 2026 side is the strongest option in the Eels roster. Pezet at half-back is also a better fit for Da Silva at dummy-half. Pezet will allow Da Silva more time with the ball to attack, whereas Moses demands quick ball passed from the ground. Da Silva's strength is his ability to get out of dummy-half and engage the markers and / or the A -B defenders.
I am sure Ryles has a plan for 2026 with Pezet, hopefully he also has a plan for 2027 and beyond without him.
I wasn't against signing him if it was a long term deal. Whilst I don't really see him as a suitable 6 for moses is think they could have made it work and pezet would be the long term replacement for moses eventually.
Sneak into top 4, Fuck around and win the comp in 26 lessgooo!!!
Agree with the Anasta podcast, we wanted a longer deal and he chose broncos. Bit of a slap in the face and we look like cucks.
If we wanted a longer deal then why is the club now backtracking saying we have good youngsters? or will they go for metcalf or campbell. Some mixed messaging going on.
Love pez, hes a gun but just dont want to be someones second option. I know Papallii aint it yet but fuck he bleeds for the club. Recruit team need a big fish eventually lol.
All this makes me think that if Ryles is doing Anasta a favour, then maybe Anasta will return the favour. Anasta is also Munster's manager...just a thought.
I just watched the podcast and I think it's a good move. As far as us developing a player and then handing him over to the Broncos, I think that he's already developed and is FG ready. From what Anasta said about him, he sounds like another Gutho topping the fitness etc and his work ethic. If he and Moses click together then I believe everyone on here will soon be singing his praise.
This is worse than the Foran signing.
There is zero benefit in this for us and that was confirmed by Pissant Pezet's manager Bwaith Anasta.
I didn't have a very high opinion of Ryles to begin with and this only solidifies my thinking that he isn't the right coach for Parra.
Sarintinos and O'Neil should be sacked immediately for this load of crap.
None. Its weak AF.
NONE.
Let's face it, we are only claiming that we are putting our faith in our UNTRIED or tested jnrs, simply because the R&R can't land anyone. We simply have no choice but to back our jnrs.
Our recruitment team is made up of SHITC#NTS.
