If the rumours of Aidan Sezer are true then I will lift my hat to sir Kev and Co. Lui and Sezer as half backs is an exciting prospect

If we can pull this off then we give ourselves a real fighting chance.
Parcell was on a list Pete Smith referred to right at the start of the season, his move isn’t a real shock.
London are still the real relegation rival, and Wakefield are heading south too - in big trouble if they lose to Hudds. I’m guessing we have a decent relationship with HKR given all the Leeds links there. With 10 games left KS has to do something - this is it.
The club has clearly identified that half back is the current biggest limiting factor and I would agree.
I don’t have a problem with Parcell as a player as such; but he’s not torn up any trees this last couple of years in a struggling pack, and a change is right for both parties.
I hope he goes well at KR and I hope they stay up.

Surely it will be a few weeks before we see Sezer on the pitch even if the rumours are true with all the red tape required to get him here. Ava seemed like a month or so.

Even four games might make the difference. It looks like Hastings was/is our first choice, but if he’s stalling we still
have to find an option.

Very good, was a big signing when Canberra signed him from Gold Coast, best part, he's an organizer with a good kicking game

If it’s true, the NRL transfer deadline is Sunday, so it has to be done by then.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Jun 25, 2019 11:22 pm  

The NRL deadline is for them to register players. It won't bother them if Sezer leaves after that unless they want to bring someone else in and need to free up cap space.

Sezer was a hot prospect at the Titans but hasn't really kicked on as well as hoped. He'd be far better than Myler or Sutcliffe though. Assuming the interest from us is real I wonder whether the thinking there is partly about letting Hastings know he's not the only game in town, as well as giving the club a plan B?

Brizzo what do you reckon to Sezer for us then? Seems a good fit for what we need - could partner well with Lui?

Maybe not as stellar as Maloney can be, but a little younger and probably not quite as expensive I imagine.

There could be some logic going for a couple of older halves who are happy to be in England, rather than players who really want to go to Aus. Down the line we should be able to develop a couple through the Academy perhaps.

With the extra space in SL Sezer would be a stand out half over here. Would be just the type of player we need hope it happens.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:47 am  

Either of Lui - Hastings or Lui - Sewer is a great combo.

Hope we get at least one of Hastings/Sezer
