Once again we are gambling with the season, starting out with a player in the key position who is second choice option at the team who finished I think 3 rd bottom of the NFL.
Sure the Keyboard warriors will correct me if I'm wrong.
No disrespect to Matt hope he becomes a club legend I just think that at this time we need an established hooker one with mongrel like mclorum to work with Lilly and sutty in the absence of mags and rob and their imminent retirement.
Also this is a gamble because Matt has a history of bad hamstring
Cheap option
3rd bottom in NRL would still be very competitive in SL and be pushing for a top 4 place.
Happy with the replacement, young player who will either stick around for a couple of years to make his name and return to NRL as a star (bit like Jamie Lyon did at Saints) or a player who enjoys the challenge of Superleague and stays for many years (bit like Scott Donald did for us). Either way its win win for the Rhinos.
As for the weak willed Segeyaro, who signed a 2 year contract and then whelched out of it, then good riddance. If his heart isn't into playing for us then mickey off home (oh he has!!)
Good luck to Matt Parcell lets hope he is what we are searching for (a top 4 finish for me)
