If an NRL club wants him he's a gonner. We just simply have to accept that.

Re: James Segeyaro : Sun Nov 27, 2016 3:47 pm  

So he now wants to be released from his contract and stay in Oz. Devastating news. I understand why he would want this, but this underhand and cowardly way of reneging on contracts is a worrying trend. Someone has obviously tapped him up in Oz. Leeds are stuffed.

The NRL have said they won't accept him being registered to any club whilst he is still under contract, so if he is desperate to stay in Australia the I say we let him, but keep him registered and don't pay his wages for breach of contract.

Harsh I know, but it would stop SL clubs being walked all over, Wire should do the same with Sandow.

Re: James Segeyaro : Sun Nov 27, 2016 6:17 pm  

trouble is if we dont pay him he could try and argue constructive dismissal and try and void the contract. The best we can hope for is a decent replacement on a swap deal. Unfortunately I would think most NRL clubs will have sorted their squads and there will be no on decent available. We cannot compete financially with the NRL in any event. One thing is for sure we wont be seeing Chick in the blue and Amber again. Hetheringtons been taken for a fool, something which seems to happening on a regular basis.. Hes been lucky in that for the last 10 - 15 years we have had a large core of the squad and hes only had to tinker at the edges with one or two replacements per season. That core od the squad is now either retired or should be and significant recruitment is needed this year and next and were doing nothing about it. The net result has been a slide down the league to relegation candidates. Its a criminal lack of planning

2016 continues to be flipping brilliant.

2017 doesn't look like it's going to be much better.

Looking on the bright side at least we probably won't get the Boxing day floods in 2017

I really can't see a positive outcome from this for Leeds other than finding an NRL club who have a suitable swap player for Segeyaro. If we can force him to honour his contract, I can't see him do other than make Achurch look like a talented grafter. If we let him go, even if we get a decent wedge for him, we'll struggle to find a qualty replacement. Hero to zero for me.

Re: James Segeyaro : Mon Nov 28, 2016 2:53 am  

Segeyaro hasn't covered himself in glory, but if we're being honest we got a shift out of a player who's easily top end NRL standard, and never wanted to go to England. I'd definitely ask for a fee from the Sharks, but might let other teams have him for nothing. I think the Dragons would bite his arm off for a start. There's no point in even trying to force him to play for Leeds.
