Doesn't look like we will be going on the open market for a 6 if this is happening, they would just put Lorenzo Talataina in for 2027. Ryles just using Pezet as a stop gap for a year while he Lorenzo develops

Agree, and hey maybe Joash ends up winning that battle to, he wasn't terrible at 6 without many reps at the spot
He plays good and then we all sook that we developed him into a gun to help the Broncos out. He plays shit and we just wasted a full year of development on a potential long term 6.
"On top of these names EA, the following seem like legitimate prospects:
Backs: Bloomfield, Farrugia, Vella, Johansson, Rokosuka, Risati.
Forwards: Koina, Petrus, Lokeni, Polley.
correct me if I am wrong though!"
"What in the contractual multi universe is this shit?
No more players options in our contracts, just join other club options?
We have the depth to cover us for the next year surely, instead of giving an understudy with not much indication of how he…"

My head is spinning trying to get this to somehow work out what the club is thinking.
I can only say this would be reasonable if we have already secured a 6 for 2027.
Im really feeling like the club is being used for the Broncos advantage. If this is true wow, im just saying wtf
I really think it does mean that Ryles has a very high opinion of Lorenzo and Joash, but they are a year off
Chief your man JR won't go for this no chance .Don’t get sucked in by media don't do it.
Its such a lose/lose deal.

I don't think Lorenzo and Joash are going to forget how to play football in 12 months 😂 they'll be developing bro
Well you cannot fit Twiddle, Lorenzo, Joash, Volkman, Hawkins all in nsw cup. So do you want Renzo developing in Jersey Flegg?
Unless we are signing our long tem 6, then just stick with are current halves for 2026 rather than a 1 year rental.
Lorenzo definitely needs to be 6 in cup. I'd say Joash backup fullback. 7 can be either hawk or volk. Twiddale unsure on. We have options
Your just showing that we could be forcing other potential guns or quality backs ups out of the club for a 1 year rental.
Maybe 2027 6 is being held for Lorenzo but, it could just be that simple 😂 I haven't really seen enough of him to make a call
