The Gold Coast Titans<\/a> have bid farewell to retiring half Kieran Foran<\/a> and will now look towards their 2026 halves combinations.<\/p>\n

While most fans are expecting to see Jayden Campbell<\/a> and AJ Brimson<\/a> don the No. 6 and No. 7 jumpers, it seems the Titans may be keen on a fresh face for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Storm<\/a> halfback Jonah Pezet<\/a> has emerged as a potential halfback option for new Titans coach Josh Hannay<\/a>, albeit just for one season.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Sydney Morning Herald\u00a0reports that Hannay is keen on Pezet’s services, with hopes he can be an all-out game manager for the Titans.<\/p>\n

Pezet is currently stuck behind Cameron Munster<\/a> and Jahrome Hughes<\/a> in Melbourne, although there is no doubt that the young halfback is NRL-ready.<\/p>\n

The Titans would reportedly need to free up some cap space if they’re to bring the young star onboard, but with Reagen Campbell-Gillard, Alofiana Khan-Pereira<\/a>, and David Fifita<\/a> all likely on their way out, they could squeeze him in for a year.<\/p>\n

If a deal were to go through, both sides would need to iron out a few conflicts of interest, including whether Pezet would be allowed to play against Melbourne and whether he could be recalled home early if the Storm suffered injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It would likely be a win-win for both clubs if the move were to eventuate, as well as for Pezet, who is ready to be a starting halfback in the NRL<\/a>.<\/p>\n
