So Hawkins gone?

So Hawkins gone?

Believe he wanted a further 2 year extension as he had a SuperLeague offer, club wanted to keep him but the term was an issue and allowed him to accept the longer deal . In a sense , Pezet has replaced Footy Dean for 2026.

Was the Hawkins discussions before or after the Pezet ones?

So if Hawkins is gone, we have 3 open top 30 spots open as Pezet takes Hands spot?

Far out, if we can jag an outside back and good forward we may just be a top footy side next season.

Metcalfe has extended with the Wahs.

He will be a year older with a whole extra preseason and a full year of reserve grade under his belt. He should be a much better player by then. Unfortunately Moses will be 33 and Paulo (34), Walker (33) and JAC (32) might all be gone. Why waste 2026? Missing the finals for a fourth straight year isn’t how you build for a premiership. Rebuilding is only supposed to take one year ffs

Yeh and then supposedly hell need another full season of nrl before hes "ready" so well have wasted all those players prime anyways?

Anyway at least pezet covers the hole of losing hawkins

 

[Stevie]

Might as well make a play at metcalf and get him to do the classic compassionate grounds to leave nzl early. That way we improve for thus year and build our future. Like if we were so convinced on lorenzo surely we woukdnt have offered pezet a long conrract initially

I love how people just think “we might as well go and grab xxxx” like you don’t need the planets to align to attract any talented halves.

f**k me.

PS Metcalf re-signed btw

Not sure, but think Pezet was agreed and was an easier decision to move on from Footy Dean, almost at the same time really.

i said make a play for him not well get him. Surely some planets align for us to someone to help build our team for now and beyond 2026

By the looks of it before. He didn't play in any grade after Iongi came back from injury moving Joash back to 6. He spent 4 weeks wilderness

 

[Poupou Escobar]

it's Parra, they are all less than 50/50

40/40?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

40/40?

85/15. As long as they do their best I'll be happy

 

[Legal Eel]

He literally had Moses and Drown in front of him. I suppose your ‘contacts’ at the club have information that they weren’t blocking him?

You are an inveterate liar as well as a troll.

Read my original post - I stated that Dylan brown blocking the pathway had something to do with it.

if you are going to troll, at least don’t resort to envious and malicious lies.

Dope. Seek help.

Braith says it wasn’t money and ‘Melbourne could have kept going’ with the money because they wanted him.
But he chose Parra, for less coin, because he wants to play and win in FG in 2026.
Kinda says a lot that money isn’t an issue for Melbourne, even for backups ffs!

My mail is that we put an offer on the table for Pezet for 3 years and they looked at it seriously.

Brisbane came in with a better offer, but only starting 2027. We were asked would we consider a 1 year deal at a lesser price and given our hope for Lorenzo, et al, as future NRL players, we decided Pezet would be an improved short term solution over Footy Dean and Volkman.

Not sure that means we got played or that there is smoke being blown up anyone's ass with what is being said.

Big issue for me is - what if Pezet gets a season-ending injury in round 1?

Obviously, it can happen to anyone.

But if the player in question has a few years on their contract, you can get some sort of value out of them later.

Pezet is only here for 12 months, and any time way from the game-day 17 is a bad investment.

Ive heard from my little birds that Parra offered him 12 months but they were 12 individual months spread out over 4 years. Dean wanted all of the months to be concurrent and thats what broke the deal.

You are a filthy liar - nobody in Parramatta's back office can count past three...
