Jonah Pezet is a sought-after young playmaker, with Canberra Raiders favored to acquire him.
The Melbourne Storm may be preparing for the 2025 NRL Grand Final at the moment, but that hasn't stopped a frontrunner emerging for the services of young playmaker Jonah Pezet.
Regarded as a future star of the game alongside Isaiya Katoa and Lachlan Galvin, Pezet has been touted as the future successor of the Storm's halves, but he still sits behind QLD Maroons skipper Cameron Munster and 2024 Dally M Medal winner Jahrome Hughes.
Linked with the Gold Coast Titans, Newcastle Knights, North Queensland Cowboys, Parramatta Eels and Perth Bears, multiple sources from in and outside the club have told Zero Tackle that the Canberra Raiders are the clear favourites to land the 22-year-old's signature.
While there were rumours that the Raiders had decided to pull out of the race for Pezet's signature, they are still on the lookout for a new playmaker following the departure of veteran Jamal Fogarty to the Manly Sea Eagles.
