Yeah i thought it was a bit fishy myself. GH made our position clear yesterday in a club released statement without ever stating Segeyaro can't ever come back, yet just later gets in contact with some Aussie journalist to say we won't accommodate him. Why was this piece of information solely apparently explained to some Australian journalist only?

IF his contract has been cancelled, the obvious inferences are that a) we need too free up cap space to sign a replacement and b) whatever fee we finally demand won't be sufficiently prohibitive to prevent JS moving on.

Thanks, i had not read that article.
I'm no expert on employment law, but agree that it does seem like a strange move by the club.

The £250,000 asking price will be negotiable. I'm sure if Cronulla offer £100,000 and GH thinks that's the best offer we'll get he'll take it.

If a player is contracted to the club by signing 2 or 5 year deal then they have committed to Leeds for that length of time. They can not be a allowed to walk away when the mood or a higher financial offer is given by another club.

Can you please let us know which players Leeds have been an antagonistic towards or threatened........ Don't say Zak as he brought everything onto his own head and Leeds stood by him for far too long.

You must live in cloud cooker land if you expect clubs and companies to be run without some form of " authoritarian management". I bet you would be the first on here to whinge if Leeds said to Ryan Hall, Kallum Watkins etc, oh don't worry we know you can earn more money at XYZ club, so off you go and enjoy your life.

Depends if Cronulla are interested in paying that (or anything at all). Like people have said about Leeds needing to move on an focus on finding someone else in time for the new season the same applies to Cronulla and they might well wash their hands of this signing and look elsewhere. If the last 12 months have shown Segeyaro anything it's that he isn't as in demand in the NRL as he might think/hope.

2001. 15 years ago. hardly recent.

So your grand example of the CEO and coach being antagonistic, threatening, hostile and full of retribution is to post a link of a guy who was here for a single season way back in 2001 (10 years before the current coach took over btw) and his main gripe was that he was told by the team manager to take a taxi home when he picked up a collarbone injury?

What has recent got to do with it?

The current CEO has been in charge since 1996, so Mears treatment is relevant.

I've already stated earlier that Leeds have a reputation for being malevolent, hostile, litigious, towards players who the club (The CEO) no longer see eye to eye with.

Far more malevolent, hostile and litigious than any other club I'm aware of.

Here's others who the club have treated poorly during the tenure of current management... Jamie Thackray, Ben Cross, Darrell Griffin, Paul Sterling, Nick Scruton, Paul McShane, Danny Ward, Lee Jackson, Mark Calderwood, Liam Hood.

I get it.

You don't like the CEO or the club being criticised.

This is a discussion forum with lots of differing views.

Get used to it.

Cronulla won't be offering anything.

Nor will any other NRL club.

Just like the Bulldogs offered nothing for Eastwood apart from some vague close relationship in the future.
