Confirmed on a 3 year deal. I know nothing about him but hope he's got the right attitude and wants to make a success of being at the club.

The write up by the club on him is quite strange. It's almost like they don't have much to say about him so have focused on how many of his relatives have set foot in Leeds.
I hope he is an undiscovered gem ready to make his name but knowing nothing about him it's all guess work at this point.
Do either GH or McD have enough credit in the bank with recent signings for people to be optimistic on this one?

I'm optimistic from what I have seen of him. He's a real live wire who could really thrive if someone like Cuthbo finds form again. I also think the fact he was willing to step down and play QLD cup to get regular game time says a lot about his character.

We have now sorted our 9 issue out, which I think we all agree was our biggest area of weakness after the goings on with Segeyaro.

Looks a class act on the old YouTube. Brisbane and manly fans only have good things to say but it is worrying that for some reason he's spent less then 12 months at each club. I wonder if he'll stay the full 3 years with us....and what kind of deal we've made with manly.

Hopefully he enjoys it here, stays fit and proves how good he is.

Very exciting signing.

Now, let's all switch our moaning back to not signing a HB!

Will he get the no.9? What's the dealio with squad numbers these days

How long before he does a segeyaro

He left Brisbane to get more game time. Bennett needed to give Kodi Nikorima more minutes so he didn't lose him like his brother and Andrew McCullough is their regular hooker.

Manly are a bit a of a mishmash right now, lots of signings in any position, and they've got Korosua at hooker. I'm guessing Manly didn't want to approach Korosau about leaving after what he went through last season so when Leeds made their interest known it was a easy decision for Manly. The majority of sides have their recruitment sorted, especially at hooker.

Manly get a fee, Leeds get a very good hooker and Seggy can get back on it with his mates. Everyones a winner.

Let's hope Parcell can be a force in Super League. Hopefully he'll be the full package like Segeyaro, with extra special delivery from dummy half... I guess he'll be kept under wraps until later in the festive season.

I will go in with the attitude of 'can't be worse than falloon' and take it from there.

Whatever happens, at least it made for a good Christmas themed headline on the website.

Bet Phil Daly was pleased.

He's a very good player should fit right in with our style of play if we can get back too our offloading game and fast rugby he's a great addition too our squad.

Well considering people have been taking the pi$$ the last 2/3 weeks about the "Plan B" comment saying it'll just be Burrow at hooker then they done ok to get someone at this stage of the season who looks hungry to come here and start, signed long term and is highly thought of. Granted he doesn't come with a large cv or too much known about him but you only have to look at previous NRL recruits at Leeds over the years to know that means little in terms of how well they go here.

3rd Australian hooker signed in 12 months.

That's a glass half full if ever I saw one



He doesn't look a bad signing at all, the Sleeve did have something up there after all. If he can play off slow PTB's and off the back foot as well as going forward then we should be a far better side. Personally I though Segeyaro was not the "livewire" he was initially billed as, lacked real pace. This guy certainly doesn't.

You could probably include Lunt in that point. Which begs the question of why we have such difficulty in rolling our own.

What do the Australian Based Fans think about him? And not AP, he's in Wetherby.

I've seen him a few times and he seems fast, with a good rugby brain. He backs up well and plays what's in front of him. What is he like defensively up the middle? Segayaro was excellent in that department, and plugs the short coming in our pack.

I have to say all the comments on the footage of him and his speed(i haven't bothered to look myself because youtube made Achurch look like Sironen re incarnated) but not much about his defensive capabilities. hopefully he will be solid in that area.I agree with you regards Segeyaro but one thing he brought was steel and enthusiasm in the middle.

If he is solid in the middle and can provide direction from dummy half then i will be happy enough, anything else is a bonus.

I just looked at the video link given by the Rhinos and 95% of it was scoring tries - only one clip of his defence really. Think people are raving about his pace and not his defending because the footage doesn't show that and barely even shows his play making.

I am more hopeful though reading the comments of Manly fans (and other NRL teams) as they will have seen more of his defence than any of us.

never heard of him, but glad we have sorted the vacancy.

I'm pleased he appears to have pace, i think its something weve lacked for a while.

In our prime someone would make a break, and have webb, mcguire and burrow in support. Last season if someone made a break the rest of the team stood there mouth open in amazement

He is very, very quick. And over a distance as well. But if our forwards can't dominate a collision and get a front foot PTB he may as well have his bootlaces tied together.

Segeyaro was pretty quick to be honest not sure what one or two of you were watching . However good this guy turns out to be he will not be as good but at least hopefully he will want to play for us . Segeyaro , Sandow and Carney all got problems off the field and will always l be a car crash waiting to happen whoever they play for .
