Did GH's invitation to other clubs to put in offers and his demands for a £250,000 [i'Transfer Fee'[/i during the past three months tell you to say that?  |

I think the lesson for the club is to not sign players who clearly lacked the appetite and enthusiasm to join them in the first place. I don't agree that Leeds were intentionally used by Segeyaro as a banker - just in case.
Segeyaro's reluctance to join Leeds in the first place was there for all to see. He couldn't have dragged his feet more if he'd tried. He's a young man with personal issues who Leeds should have stayed well clear of, but... due to poor planning over an extended period of time and the consequent lack of options, Leeds ended up in a situation last season where they were Desperate with a capital D. |

No, it was half wot GH asked for - £125,000!
Do we have any more unsubstantiated bids?

Steady on old chap, your disciple was one of the posters bandying the £50k transfer/ payment and the "half of the original asking price" came from the Sharks forums. |

| Anyone disappointed that there's been no announcement of any ground breaking partnership between the Leeds Rhinos and Cronulla Sharks?  |

Oh but you do!
Why should there be a ground breaking partnership?
Business done.......leave it at that and get on with the forthcoming matches.

How about this one?
Quote William Eve="William Eve"
I agree that the fee is likely to be around 50K. Could be less, but very doubtful it would be more than that.

It's not. It's a great outcome for all of SL.
The only negativity i've seen around this story has been a few posts by some attention seeking old men on an internet forum. Elsewhere, the reaction to how Leeds & Evil Gary have handled this have been pretty positive and hopefully sent a message out to one or two players down under who might be thinking of coming to play in SL soon. |

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. |
