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

"Oh the HB situation 2027 is a bit different for sure. But Im not sure Lorenzo would be sticking around if Pezet was signed long term to play next to Moses. We aren't really a club who has that kind of pull to keep juniors. "
"If wishart,campbell, metcalf and other names are hitting the market who knows what will happen. Those 3 definitely make more sense next to Mitch then Pezet. Maybe Lorenzo or Joash just take the 6 themself anyway. Lot of moving parts "
"Neither are Halfbacks, you made the example that Moses goes down Pezet takes over. 2027 that's not the case.
All well and good getting back-ups but need consistent halves."

"I guess. Though just out Joash there as well could be an option til Lorenzo if ready."

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.
Won't really have to go to market if Lorenzo kills it in nsw cup and is ready for nrl in 2027. That has to be the plan. Moses is definitely the shot caller till his deal is up in 2029
Yeah if this deal is the case it is with an eye on Lorenzo more likely.

This is pretty embarassing optically.
If he goes well - we've just developed a half for another team.
If he goes badly - we've just inhibited the development of another potential half in our own team.
I know this is broken record stuff - but our R&R continues to be extremely subpar and our club will not be able to build sustained success without significant talent uplift in that area.
This is just such a weak move - the signals it sends to the player market is so bad. "Parramatta: You tell us what you want, we'll make it happen! Then you can go to the club you really want to play at".
Hypothetical.
Pezet only plays 1st grade when Moses is in SOO or injured
Pezet is on a low money contract.
Joash continues to start and develop at 5/8th
I don't hate the signing
If that's was the case he would stay in Melbourne, this scenario is not happening.
