Jonah Pezet may not join the Dragons in 2026, considering his current role with Storm.
NRL player agent Braith Anasta has nearly confirmed that Jonah Pezet is unlikely to join the St George Illawarra Dragons in 2026 if he leaves the Melbourne Storm. Pezet's impressive kicking game contributed significantly to Melbourne's performance, yet he may only make two starts this year due to Jahrome Hughes aiming to return for a preliminary final against teams like the Canberra Raiders, Brisbane Broncos, Cronulla Sharks, or Sydney Roosters.
The future of Pezet has sparked extensive discussions this season. The young player, who came back from an ACL injury mid-year and is considered one of the top young halves in the league, re-signed with the Storm. However, he included a clause allowing him to leave if Jahrome Hughes also re-signed, which has now occurred.
Despite this, there remains a possibility that Pezet could continue with the Storm. This could happen if Cameron Munster accepts a lucrative deal with the Perth Bears or if Pezet goes out on loan. Even if Munster departs, the Storm might agree to a 12-month loan for Pezet.
