Pezet will secure a long-term deal in Brisbane after a temporary agreement with Parramatta for the 2026 season.
Tuilagi is set to return to the Storm, where he rose through the Victorian pathways and contributed to their 2020 premiership victory.
The future destination of veteran forward de Belin remains uncertain for 2027, following reports that the club decided not to exercise his contract option for next year.
