Why come out with all the homesickness stuff and how he couldn't possible return to the UK......when he allegedly didn't even finalise the contract with Leeds to play in 2017???

Yep, that last bit clearly is a desperate attempt.

For what it's worth, I'm sure he is 'homesick' or certainly would prefer to carry out is profession 'back home in Oz' - I don't actually think money is the driver, he would just prefer to be in Oz if he can get similar/reasonable money there - that was always his intention and he didn't hide it. Unfortunately for all concerned, the Sharks weren't able to offer a contract until a few weeks after he'd been left with no other NRL playing offers so had taken his only offer on the table at Leeds.

Ultimately though, GH has done a great bit of business and found a more than adequate replacement in Parcell (who's also probably cheaper). We no longer want or need Segeyaro, so cut him loose and put it down to experience. He's not covered himself in glory, if we just cut ties and play the bigger man, he's the only one who looks bad out of it all - as it is, I think Leeds are looking petty and uncompasionate.

As said before once you let one off his contract you are leaving the door wide open for anyone else to do the same . On another note Parcell will have a long way to go yet before he gets up to Judas level

I mentioned homesickness and its links to depression not so long ago which all appear to characterise some of the impulsive behaviours displayed by Segeyaro since last year. This led to him ending up on the outer at Penrith and swapping places with Hardaker.

Some of the psychiatric experts in here claimed that was a load of crap because he's selfish and taking the pee, etc.

His father died last year who he was very close to. That may explain why he's where he is at mentally and emotionally right now. He's been all over the place ever since.

I hope my views don't come across as too "leftist" for the likes of illy.

Leeds should let it go and move on. It's not a good look otherwise.

You are claiming that some people on here are " psychiatric experts " and then go on to say that his father dies in 2015 and this might explain..... So come on then when did you have him on your psychiatric couch ?.

Leeds have moved on by signing a New hooker and passing it off to the lawyers to sort out.

Only people not to have moved on with this matter is us keyboard psychiatric lawyers. Soon as the season starts I am sure this sad person will be confined to the rubbish bin of history.

Nah, William'll stick around this year I reckon

Seriously though, this has gone far enough for me. Too much more and the club'll start coming across like the bloke who batters his ex for leaving him.

Tbf they're asking for a transfer fee......hardly a crime or unreasonable request. No one is expecting the £250k figure but Cronulla dont seem to have even offered £25. If we had turned down a couple of reasonable offers then I could understand the argument that we're being harsh.

If Leeds were out of pocket I might incline more towards this view. As it is, we're rid of a player of questionable temperament.

I think the solomona case has affected this one too. RL clubs have realised they have to make a stand. also NRL clubs are worried about losing players to RU as well

I wouldn't bet on it, but more to the point... if there is an upturn in the clubs fortunes, will the likes of El Diablo, G1, Tony Soprano, nantwichexile, Fat Boy and Gilder return?

Or maybe I'll stick around just to post "leftist" comments and opinions? I have no problem whatsoever upsetting selfish, right-wing, neoliberal, angry kippers or even worse "rightist" specimens than that!

Well said.

Re: Player | James Segeyaro : Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:58 pm  

Think it's a disgrace an Australian based player signing a contract then halfway through wanting out.
Then using the homesick card and returning to Australia is totally unacceptable.
The only thing worse is if the Player claiming homesickness then signed for another club in the same competition. Now where have we seen that before.

Don't be so ridiculous.

Joel is almost home whilst plying his trade at Leeds.

Salford to Brisbane = 10,237 miles.
Leeds to Brisbane = 10,200 miles.

Hope the info above leads to a more level-headed perspective on your part.
