Overview
- Parramatta confirmed the 22-year-old playmaker will join for the 2026 season, with pre-season to begin in December.
- Developed at Melbourne over four years, Pezet has 18 NRL games and featured in the Storm’s 2025 finals campaign.
- Coach Jason Ryles called the move a “perfect storm,” citing a depth gap, a prior working relationship, and Pezet’s kicking and organisational strengths alongside Mitchell Moses.
- The Eels say the arrangement buys time for pathway halves, with Lincoln Fletcher, Lorenzo Talataina, Talen Risati and Te Hurinui Twidle identified as future options.
- Media reports suggest Pezet is expected to join Brisbane in 2027 to succeed Adam Reynolds, a scenario not confirmed by the clubs that has divided some Eels fans.
