He already has a club. Just whether the deal is done with Leeds.

Surely if that is the case it is everyone's interest to get the job done - if Leeds are holding out for £300k then GH is a fantasist.

It would not look good on Leeds if they held him back - I wonder if the club who showed an interest are still that interested?

Few journalists in Aus stating Segeyaro is a done deal until the end of 2018, here's the catch though... If he finds another club between now and December in the NRL we'll release him to them.

It wouldn't be "we'll release him to them", more "he has a clause which enables him to skip out of a contract with Leeds if he gets an NRL gig".

Hetherington has a lot on his hands at the moment, jiggling about resources to get us back to a position of strength. You can't really expect him to just call quits on a transfer fee in a short period. It may well come to that in the end, but not sure how it is in everyones best interest to just do it now. Hardaker will continue to put in everything until something is resolved. But the club he has agreed with isnt' just interested, there is agreement, and there is still another three clubs waiting in the wings. What you will probably find in the end is that Leeds get a player with his Australian club contributing to salary, rather than paying a transfer fee. Which in the end may not be far off what Hetherington is looking for.

I am more concerned about us getting another season out of McGuire.
Maybe if we can offload Zak to free up cap space.
We might get Widdop to play at SO with McGuire/Lilley filling in at SH and Burrow replacement hooker?
Other than that we cannot sign an Australian half and Luke Gale has grabbed a five year deal with Cas which leaves us with little to no options at SO whatsoever.

Yep, Mags looks at the end as well. What great players they both have been. All good things etc......

End result is the same.

So if Segeyaro agrees a NRL deal in Nov/Dec we are again left scraping the barrel during preseason trying to acquire a no9 for 2017?

Yep. GH by plenty.

Had a perfectly good 9 in Aiton, were too tight to pay him as one of the best 9s in the competition and are now reaping the results.

Might be another drug-dealing party animal we can pick up from the NRL in December though, so that's alright.

Lunt.

That was my worry that i posted a few pages back, If he leaves us sooner than expected or we expect him to stay and he doesn't.
Getting Segeyaro now would be a big boost but if we don't have much security on his staying put it's quite risky
