Watch the latest Anasta podcast-
Straight from the horses mouth, " Parramatta - Ryles, never offered Jonah Pezet a long-term deal" He says Parramatta only ever wanted Pezet for one year.
The conversation was always 1 yrar.
So all the talk about the club being used, and all the cuckold blogs, you can just flush them.
He also says the kids Parramatta have coming through are the succession plan.

Well we sort of know that now that Parra wanted him for a year, not really a revalation. But Chief, Anasta is going to say what is best for his client, what is best for his client is to keep the clubs he is at happy somewhat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeI_Ok_9boQ listen to 13:28. Did he let slip Parramatta wanted long term? No way around it, we are developing him to be better for Brisbane. Great back-up to Moses but if Talataina is not ready in 2027, then what? We are back to square 1.
That's a load of bs. Why would Anasta contradict himself and now say we didn't want him long term
That was just Anasta pumping up Pezet's tyres when he agreed with the question. He was probably on a high after just getting tge deal done
This time around nobody prompted Anasta, he said on his own accord that we didn't want him long term
So which version do you want LB, the one where nobody was prompting him or the one where he just agrees with yea yea.?
If we don’t want to develop players who eventually go to other clubs, then we might as well stop recruiting and shut down the juniors, because plenty will.
No club doing their due diligence wastes time on a contract without talking through a recruit’s long-term intentions. Look before you leap & all that jazz.
Regardless of what Ryles may have "wished" for at any point in time, he and the top-end knew from day one that Pezet wants to be a genuine, long-term seven. They also knew the Broncos were the best long-term fit for him.
You could’ve hired a hypnotist and it wouldn’t have changed that. It’s not complicated, and it’s not the drama we make it out to be. Just reality, plain and simple.
By the way, guess who else signs players to one-year deals? The Panthers. Are they dopes?
Well he sounded all over the place on the podcast. Maitua asked did Parramatta want him long term and he said of course they did.
He said in the same podcast it was meant to be a loan but also answered we wanted him long term.
So just pumping his tires saying of course we wanted him long term? How is that so? When he spent the whole 15 mins doing so anyway?
So your response to him saying yes we wanted him long term was prompting and/or peer pressure. If that leads him to giving false info he shouldn't be podcasting or in media. Why would he say it was meant to be a loan then say oh yeah Parra wanted him long term, he gets nothing out of admitting it.
You saying he was prompted is a cop out and a stretch. It's like him saying it's not about money with Melbourne then Maitua saying Pezet asked for more money didn't he and Anasta saying of course he did hahaha. Why say that or agree? When Maitua asks that question he shouldn't have said no it was a loan all along.
I am a big Jason Ryles fan, but man this bloke could kick a puppy and you would say it's justified. BA could cure cancer and say it was not him just took the credit.
LB,
If you’re in charge, are you honestly throwing out a multi-million, 4–5-year contract without talking to the player about what they actually want to do for those years? For fun?
Sure, maybe Ryles hoped Pezet could become a long-term option in the halves. They seem to have a connection. So did I and half this forum. But it would’ve taken Ryles and the club a conversation less time than 2-minute noodles to find out Pezet wants to be a genuine, long-term seven. Not an apprentice bridesmaid to Moses for 4-5 years. He'll be 24 when he starts his full-time Broncos gig at half-back. He's waited long enough. He doesn't want to start at 27-28. Can you blame him? You don’t need to be Einstein to see that. Blind Freddy in a straightjacket could figure it out.
Anasta said “of course” we wanted Pezet long-term in that first podcast. But “of course” is not a contract term carved into stone tablets. In neither podcast did he ever say the Eels offered a long-term contract. Not once. When he actually discussed negotiations in that “of course” podcast, he only ever talked about the short-term negotiations.
The idea the club was “used”, “fooled”, or “cuckolded” only works if you pretend the Eels walked into negotiations blindfolded, their fingers in their ears and nostrils, moonwalking sideways with a hynoptist.
Since you're throwing it out there, I wouldn't offer pezet a multi year deal nor would I offer him a 12 month deal. He's the perfect fit for the broncs, he has no place with us.
If our developing halves aren't ready for first grade leave Papalli at 5/8 or even Dylan Walker for 2026 (maybe not ideal but it's better than whatever the outcome will be with pezet for a single season).
Much of that discussion with Anasta focused on how pezet will benefit from his time at the eels. When it comes to how the eels will benefit the conservation drys up pretty quick.
I've been a huge fan of Ryles this season however the two blemishes on his scorecard are he took to long to remove Dylan brown from first grade once it was announced he was going to the knights and this pezet deal.
Anasta said the plan was always a loan then says yeah we wanted him long term? Which is it?
Not once did i say offer him a 4-5 year deal, plus i have said not to give a deal for the sake of giving deals. Anasta is acting as if we signed DCE who can bring excellence to the club for a year and help us in the future. He has played 18 NRL games for crying out loud.
I didn't say the club has been fooled, they knew what they were doing, at the same time i do not agree with it.
Hold on, in the recent podcast Anasta said we never offered him long term. So which Anasta do you believe, ?
Doesn't matter what Anasta i believe, he said it. That was an interview before he had even signed officially. You are trying to get a "Gotcha ya" claim and there is not one to be had here Chief. He said that. If it wasn't true why say it? Especially saying it was always intended as a long term deal.
It is not like someone in a journal article said Anasta said this or hinted at it and then he cleared the air saying no. Anasta said it loud and clear and Maitua's questioning was clear.
Talataina and Pezet are 2 different players. Renzo is a run threat with a good short kicking game and slick hands. He's a physical runner but a 5/8. Pezet is a halfback. We have Lincoln Fletcher that we're looking at as the long term replacement. Although Ethan Sanders could be heading out of Canberra given they just signed Coby Black.
