Not too sure, but while Segs ability is undoubted, there must be huge question marks over other aspects of him for no NRL club to table a nominal bid which we would most likely accept.

Well he's shown some of those aspects in how he's dealt with this.

The Sharks should have plenty of cap space now Barba has definitely gone. As for a fee, whatever amount is agreed would be kept quiet. IMO its just a matter of negotiation - the Sharks need a hooker, Leeds whilst not needing Segeyaro won't really want the distraction and costs of a court case (even if they may get them back if they win, there is always risk attached to going down that sort of route).

One thing I've read from some people including a few on Cronulla boards, is that Leeds should just let him go now as they've now "PROVED THEIR POINT".

I disagree, if we let him go now then they (the agents) just think this tactic works even if they had to wait a bit longer than usual for this one to work out. Also people just think we're silly for crumbling this close to the NRZl season after making such a big noise about it.

We should stick it out until a transfer fee is offered and if it isn't then no skin off Leeds' back. People can say restraint of trade but he's been out of favour for nearly 12 months and no one else offered him a contract for 2017. Add in that no one has offered Leeds a fee then the argument we're stopping him from playing or earning a wage is pretty weak when no one is showing an interest in him.

This is a fair point - I personally don't agree but I can see the argument.

I had hoped this would be sorted with Cronulla being here last week in guessing Luke Lewis shooting down any interest in a move to SL put the brakes on it all.

I wonder if they have a semi decent half back would could part exchange?

Would be good if they had a youngish half would fancied 1-2 years development in super league,

Cas have agreed out of court with Sale over Solomona. Hopefully we can do the same with Cronulla over Segeyaro and at least get a bit of money out of this episode, which could be put towards the new southstand.

Which could be put towards strengthening the team!

Bit of a shame really, i hoped Cas would carry it on and get a legal precedent set.

As it is its still no deterrent for another player doing the same.
