Lot of fans are upset with the one year Pezet deal, and I understand that. But let's look at the calls Ryles has made since joining the club.
Gutho and RCG getting moved on immediately got some backlash as well, big call but Ryles was correct. Lot of people didn't like this at the time.
Brought in his own group of players that fit the system he wants to play, might not be big names but they fit the style. Jack Williams Dylan Walker types.
Sean Russell the most hated eel on the roster. Ryles has given him the confidence to be a starter. He's taken that and run with it.
Give this loan with Pezet thing a chance and let's see what else happens around that before throwing all the toys out of the cot.

Galvin was the clubs guy they wanted Galvin and wanted him badly had a multi year multi million dollar deal on the table ready to go.It was reported Parra officials were very confident.Galvin was the perfect fit here straight into a running playmaking 6 role next to Moses with the potential to fill out his frame and become our version of Isaiah Yeo in 4-5 seasons down the track.
Pezet for a year yep I guess for the win he did choose us..,,,,,,,,,,for a season.
If you can't see any risk here, or how this looks for a club who have missed & lost signings recently, I don't know where to start.
The Eels are clearly not a destination club for young halves, and this further solidifies that with Pezet rejecting a long term deal here (if true).
Our recruitment takes another optical hit which can further impact other players we chase. We need an R&R win, a big one.
I don't need a deep breath mate, Im very calm though appreciate your concern, and as I said will back Ryles judgement, but also not naive enough to look at this purely on face value, without considering the obvious impacts.
He had the option of going cowboys or raiders on the loan. He chose Parra due to Ryles being the coach and we are on the up swing. Sounds positive to me
The Eels could sign a pomeranian and it would sound positive to you, Eli. Which I respect. Good on you.
I'll be the first to admit I was wrong if Pezet helps the Eels make finals next season, we see no negative impacts on the squad, we lose no juniors, Joash stays, and we have a difinitive 5/8th plan for 2027 to finally replace Dylan Brown.
😂😂😂
Poor pommie
Haha not fair on the pommies was it, Frank.
Well Joash is signed til 2027, so i doubt he leaves before that anyway. But also, with Pezet signing, with Joash already here, i think Joash is out of the equation as far as 5/8's go.
Ryles clearly rates Pezet over Joash. Same way he rated Longi over Gutho
A Pomeranian lol, too funny
100.
