Sounds like Hughes may be one who may cash in with one of the expansion teams! If halves are playing to mid-30s, he'd be perfect for the Perth Bears or PNG Pacific Protectors!

Jonah Pezet knocks back Knights to stay at Melbourne Storm

The Newcastle Knights made a monster $2.5 million bid to lure Jonah Pezet away from the Storm but the former Wyong Roo has opted to stick with Melbourne - though he has inserted a surprise clause into his new deal.

Jonah Pezet has inked a long-term deal to remain at the Storm but it comes with a strict clause which could allow him to exit the club should Jahrome Hughes extend his time at Melbourne.

Pezet was chased heavily by Newcastle who put forward a monster $2.5 million four year bid but he has opted to stay at the Storm after agreeing to a four-year contract extension. His deal will expire at the end of 2029 however Pezet may be free to leave earlier.

Hughes is contracted to Melbourne until the end of 2026. Should he agree to a deal beyond that period then Pezet is an immediate free agent. Hughes will be 32 in 2026 while Pezet will be just 23.

The contract safeguards both Pezet and the Storm. It means Pezet will not be stuck behind Hughes and Cameron Munster for an extended period while the Storm have a ready-made replacement should Hughes leave the club.

My goodness - Melbourne allowed a clause in one of their contracts!!!

“How can anyone with a straight face claim Frank Ponnissi is any better than Pascoe now?!”

I can see a world where we sign Smith. If we get off to a good start, and his mates are complimentary about Benji and the culture , and with the 4 or 5 surplus to need players in our squad , I can in-vision a mid season swap .
I can’t see it any earlier due to the club needing to figure out Galvins upgrade , and whether Klemmer is likely to get his extension. July 31 , is a good chunk into the season .

I assume he’s referring to the Skillion (not the beach) 🤣

Mate was never there when I was a kid, the path that is. We would run up the grass and roll down the hill!!

Very different clause to the one we allowed.
A junior player can leave if the current Dally M player extends…..the contract protects the club.

Least you’re quoting me correctly now. I never said Richo was worse than Pascoe.

But they will get no criticism.

View attachment 18302Anyone care to explain to the shut-in that when facing East (i.e. the Pacific Ocean from the NSW Coast) that South is on your right?

Que?
It’s south of the beach.

Considering it’s not a clause based on the clubs performance, I’m not sure why there would be

I could see Canberra possibly working for the cheese.

They did decriminalize nose candy recently...

I'm not the one who apparently needed a compass to work out that he was at the South end of Terrigal...

Methinks Snidest needs a compass for his sarcasm metre

I can't - based on his comments on the past. Things would have to drastically change for us.

I don't think he's a good fit tbh, wanted him when he left Storm. Not so much now. I'd take him at low $ to play off the bench perhaps, but don't see him agreeing to that at a club like ours.

He said some really great things about Tyrell May recently, has me really excited.

I got a feeling he won’t attract too many suitors. Too much baggage.

I hope they live up to your expectation. Your goals and dreams. What else is there. Not just you, all the spectators of life. Just sit and watch. Isn't life beautiful? And Xmas too soon. Ahhh- im so happy. Thank you.MOH.

At the moment, I got a feeling too, all I feel is dinner soon. Any suggestions guys on how to dress a steak under coal? Would appreciate it. Oops - I double posted again. Im sorry - my belly got the better of me. Im bad. Sorry guys.
