http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-8302879 Segeyaro's contract has been cancelled and we are no longer paying him but still have his registration and aren't letting him go until someone offers a reasonable fee. Would imagine Cronulla are/were hoping to wait until Leeds just said he could go for nothing now that we have a replacement and GH is standing his ground on getting some sort of fee.

If no one is prepared to pay a fee GH will simply let him rot - that would be difficult to enforce - restraint of trade and all that especially if there is now no contract in place.

just let it go. we have a replacement.

Re: James Segeyaro : Fri Dec 23, 2016 1:43 pm  

I'm with GH on this one - let him rot. Even with Christmas spirit I can't forgive his treachery.

Re: James Segeyaro : Fri Dec 23, 2016 1:54 pm  

Chicko's made his bed. Let him lie in it.

He gave zero-fucks about the consequences of his decision for Leeds Rhinos, so he deserves to be at the bottom of our 'to do list' since we've sorted a replacement.

Foot note: Segeyaro literally defines as 'shit-house' in Pacific tongue.

I agree - GH's stance is petty and small-minded

Time to move on

Or may make other players (current/future) think about future conducts/decisions.

Such as Parcell who signed up for 3 years? Judging from the Cronulla fans responses on the issue quite a lot are praising Leeds for standing their ground and not just letting him leave. I'd imagine most players if they were on Leeds' radar and were interested in coming to the UK and playing in SL wouldn't let Segeyaro's choice of action stop them from coming.

Nothing is stopping Segeyaro from becoming an NRL player except the NRL teams (namely Cronulla) not being bothered to pay any sort of fee. Nobody is expecting the £250k or even close to it but at the moment it doesn't look like they've even offered anything. Why let somebody go for free when we can get some money for him.

Re: James Segeyaro : Fri Dec 23, 2016 3:30 pm  

Hold out as long as possible. A message needs to be sent that this type of thing is not acceptable. It will probably get resolved and Segeyaro will get his wish in a few weeks but why should we make it easy for him?
