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

"Yeah ...just shits me ...Ill take a chill pill and see where Nov 1 pans out...yeah he is a good pick up for 26 but IMHO a dud deal...like us and the tigers (Harry Grant) are the shithouse for the league"
"Let's say Moses picks up a 4-6 week injury, guess what Pezet can cover it and Joash steps into 6 and instead of getting flogged every week you might win some games to stay a float. "
"Exactly, and look at both teams who made the grand final in 2025. They had halves all over the place to cover injury. Adding Pezet for 2026 does us no harm at all. Doesn't matter if it's a short stay he will help us "
"Brent Read said the deal hasn't been signed yet so let's all pray the story was leaked to gage the reaction of fans.
For the love of God don't shame the club by doing this deal."

Need to give Moses at least a capable nrl half partner. When he needs time off for the usual injury or origin selection we have the depth to adjust. The one year is annoying but it gives our squad the best chance of doing something.
Next year we aren't winning it what we want is best improvement from guys that are going to be here in 3-4 years time that's our timeline.2026 isn't the year Parra end the drought so what's the point in the move.
Planning for Moses being injured and SoO duties man I'd just keep going with Hawkins and co.
exactly.
For what one year? When Pezet leaves in 2027 you have the issue in 2027 anyway? You are pretty much delaying the inevitable if the plan is Lorenzo.
Doing what? It hinders Moses as he has one year with Pezet, then he starts again in 2027 with a new 5/8, more likely a rookie one. They should pick the future 5/8 now. If you cannot get Pezet long term, then just bite the bullet with Joash and if he is not the answer Lorenzo can slowly make his way in or just throw Lorenzo in.
LB, I've seen a bit of Lorenzo. He is not anywhere near physical as a young Hayne or Inglis were and will simply get monstered when playing against men. That would very likely do more harm to his development than good.
He's a year off but will probably get a few opportunities off the bench at the back end of the season to get a taste.
The one point I will concede is that if Pezet improves his football next year and gets us competing at the pointy end of the season (which I'm assuming we want, although some folks on here make me wonder), that will be of benefit to the Broncos.
why would I support this, we can buy a forward. Yet we signed this guy for a year to do fuck all and carry his knowledge that he learnt from Moses to Broncos yeah bro I'm gonna support a big club that treats things as a school. This is not a school were a big club, we either play Lorenzo now to learn or we don't. Learn nothing in cup.
You'll destroy Lorenzo body and confidence throwing him straight in. Needs time to get nsw cup down then in 2027 you are ready to roll.
Mate Dylan brown played NRL at 18 it boosted his confidence, If hes not ready now he'll never be ready.
I remember brown came in at 18 and his back couldn't hold up to nrl. So they had to shut him down. 2027 is the smart move for Lorenzo give him the best chance to succeed
Lorenzo is 20 next year. But with Volkman and Hawkins signed who is to say Lorenzo plays 6.
I do not see how having Pezet for a year only helps this team as oppose to just playing Joash? I do not rate Joash long term at 5/8, but we still were able to win games with him at 5/8. We can get by and he can improve and who knows prove me wrong, but if he is just ok then ease Lorenzo in with some game time in 2026 and he plays 2027. I doubt Joash or Lorenzo learn much off Pezet, they would learn more playing FG.
I love your optimism Eli.
