Strangest deal I've ever heard of, but adds depth to our club for this season. Joash should still be the 6 if this is the case

The only way this makes sense is if this lorenzo kid is a prodigy havnt seen any of his footy to get excited over him.
Maybe a deal has been worked out where we get munster in 2027 as bellamy wont be coach.
But can develop Lorenzo the same way with Joash play 6 though.
Its a good move. It gives Lorenzo 12 months to take over in 2027. Not sure where it leaves Joash
An interesting wrinkle, what if Iongi kills it at 6 for Tonga 😂
Then you are weaker at Fullback.
Well it looks to be all but set and done now, Pezet 6 next year then most likely Lorenzo in 2027, so our number 6 position should be occupied for the foreseeable future, but we should head into November 1 with our eye on a couple of forwards cause our pack isn't really threatening and we should sort out this Lomax stuff before pre season starts. After this we shouldn't grant him a release at least for next year until our team gets better
Metcalf, Campbell, Pursued and Wishart all available for '27. Why are we chasing Pezet, who is inferior to all these players as a 5/8.
Well here i was knocking people mentioning Sandon Smith long term, but hell even he made sense for a one year stop gap. Played more NRL games than Pezet.
But we are in a weird spot, we need our future 6 now to develop alongside Moses and form a combination.
What would the reaction be if we signed Pezet long term and him and Moses don't gel well? I might be the only person who is ok with a 1 year rental while our juniors develop 😂
Pezet has shown he can cut it in first grade, our juniors haven't. Equally we don't know if our juniors will gel with Moses.
What we now know is that we're going to spend another year in limbo waiting to find out.
The halves market is going to be even more competitive in a years time and we've now consigned ourselves to have to plug a gap at the absolute worst time in the market where we will be guaranteed to overpay if we want to go outside the club.
