Because he essentially refused to turn up to work.......if people were to do that in normal jobs they wouldn't be earning.

They'd be sacked... Have their contract terminated... have a bad reference... but they'd be free to pick up alternative employment in any field immediately. I get rugby league contracts are different, but it still doesn't sit right with me.

He has chosen not to. Freedom to accept another contract was the opportunity cost of HIS acceptance of his Leeds contract.

Completely get that - but in these circumstances, I still feel that's harsh and would prefer a more understanding approach from Leeds.

Don't expect anyone to come around to my way of thinking, and this sort of situation is always going to get people having different views. I've shared mine, don't think there's much more to add from my point of view. Be interesting to see how it plays out!

Segeyaro is free to go find a job in another field if earning money is the big concern. Ben Barba has been working on a construction site during his suspension, maybe Segeyaro should do that.

I wonder if Leeds would have taken a different stance is Segeyaro didn't say he was isolated and looking at 4 walls. From what he put on twitter and the interaction with his teammates, they went out of their way to help him settle in. Sure that was a kick in the proverbial the club don't want to lay down and take. We've shown in the past (Eastwood) that done the right way from a players point, the club won't hold them for ransom

Haha..... Other than me being big, fat, lazy, white and not quite as good at rugby (I'm happy to play down the actual gap in our abilities), you could be right.... oh no, wait.... I'm a man of my word!

I bet Segeyaro wishes he could be where Barba is going!!

For what it is worth I reckon Parcell will make you lot forget Chico pretty quickly. I tried to find the odds on Parcell for Man of Steel but can't find any agencies that have him up. I reckon he will have a great season and could be worth a small bet if the odds are right.
