You have no idea how much Leeds got so don't try and be a clever dick based on some internet thread down under

Its not a great outcome - a class player is no longer playing in our competition which is worse because of it

Well that was not of Leeds' doing.
It's a better outcome than some on here were predicting I believe.
But I'm not going to waste my time digging up posts from people on here to prove or disprove it.

Now that's how you move a set of goal posts.

What?



I never claimed to know anything Sal. Have you missed your nap again today?

You said it was a great outcome for SL - how can you possibly know that it was a good or bad outcome?

I haven't moved any goal posts - anybody with half a brain will tell you the competition lacks quality players - losing another isn't a great result for the competition

I back the Clubs stance in all this & they are happy enough with the outcome case closed imo.

If he took his bat & ball home how is that a "loss" of any kind?
Ateotd he wanted out so technically he was never "SL's" to lose we move on.

But he wasn't coming back anyway.

The great result line is obviously about Leeds' stance AFTER that.

And we seem to have signed a replacement that looks just as good so has the competition really lost out?

Half a brain would tell you looking at his replacement, we have a quality player that the competition/ Leeds require.

GH's stance may result in the odd player thinking twice about reneging.

It won't stop clubs tapping up. For that to happen, he'd have needed to announce that leeds had picked up a substantial fee. Which I'm sure he would have, had they done so.

You would have kept him then?
How would you have done that?
Anyone with half a brain would surely realise that this particular player never wanted to stay with the club,If you think that a player that doesn't give a 5h1t about us is such a great loss to both us and also SL then you are clearly either deluded or just playing your usual boring wind up games

I wish all the best of luck to Segeyaro at the Sharks and would never diss him for his efforts last season,but now is the time to move on and I for one am glad that we have taken such a stubborn stance with him whilst also finding a gem of a player in Parcell to replace him

Regardless of whether he wanted to stay - the CEO of Leeds said he was definitely coming back!! - top players like him add quality to the competition anyone with half a brain can see that.

Are you drunk?

He was never coming back to the UK so as usual, you're talking absolute tripe.

And once again Sal.... you don't have to try and put a negative spin on EVERY story relating to Leeds Rhinos. That doesn't make you a realist or anything else you might want to label yourself. It just makes you look, at best a bitter old tart, or at worst a clueless old troll, like your sad mate.

Anyone with half a brain can see that his direct replacement adds quality......what is your point?

We would all have loved Segeyaro to come back without a doubt if his heart was in it but it clearly wasn't and hence why he reneged on his contract.

So how would you have handled this scenario and would you have kept him then despite him not wanting to be here,just because his talents would be a loss to our club and SL?
Anyone with half a brain would surely realise that retaining a player at your club that doesn't want to be there is a complete waste of time and would be counter productive to the clubs culture

Don't you rate Parcell then? Because he wouldn't be here if Segeyaro stayed.

Parcell looks the better player for leeds to me

Agreed, he's quicker out of DH, actually passes the ball backwards, and is as good as Seg defensively. His kicking game isn't in the same class, but his other strengths make up for that.

Parcell's arrival has helped us move on from that outdated flat (or forward) passing approach. I'm happy with that. And while Segeyaro may/may not be the better player, the game will be better served if we can deliver a better brand of rugby where players remember how to run better lines and attack from deeper.

One other thing about Segeyaro is that if you saw his big hits in the NRL and some he did here and he got in the face of the referee in the game vs Leigh last year I was always concerned if he did stay that we would eventually lose him sometimes to suspensions.

Parcell has made a difference and I too am glad we are using the flat ball less. We don't have enough quick players pushing up in support to make it worth it.

Once Garbutt and Ferres are match fit and if the fringe props can play as well as they did Vs Wakey it should take a lot of responsibility from Cuthbertson and allow him to get back to what he does best.

Segeyaro is an individual player.

Parcell is a team player and worth building something round.
