The manager of Melbourne playmaker Jonah Pezet says they were "blindsided" by the Storm's decision to re-sign Jahrome Hughes, with a lack of opportunities also behind his young charge's departure from the NRL club.
Braith Anasta has set up a unique deal that will see Pezet play for three clubs in three years - leaving Melbourne to spend a season with Parramatta and then a long-term contract with premiers Brisbane.
