Sorry Dude but you are wrong on this assumption about Warringtons focus on Sandow being only positive.

Quote from BBC Sports website 23-11-2016
" Australian half-back Chris Sandow's exit from Warrington was not a shock, says Wolves head coach Tony Smith.

The 27-year-old did not report for pre-season training on Monday and his agent told the club he would not see out the final year of his contract....
"The timing of it wasn't great, but Chris is erratic like he is on the field," Smith said.

"I wasn't overly shocked. The timing and the method of informing us was poor, but aside from that there were no grand shocks."

Warrington have retained the player's registration if he wishes to join an NRL club. HENCE THEY CAN STOP HIM PLAYING OR DEMAND A FEE... ( Same as Leeds with Segeyaro ).

Karl Fitzpatrick, Head of Rugby Operations, said: "Chris is contracted until the end of 2017 and should have reported for pre-season training today (21 November).


"This is a clear breach of contract. We will be retaining his registration until further notice.

“He was OK for most of it, and at sometimes he was a pain in the proverbial. He was a fair mix, he was certainly a character, as everyone had worked out.

“He brightened us up at different stages and was exciting to watch for a while, but he became a bit unreliable.

The two clubs have very similar reactions to these players walking out, the big difference is Segeyaro just signed a new two year contract and was looking to move to an NRL club for more money, nothing to do with homesickness.

Leeds have understood very clearly why Segeyro has failed to return and are just following through their legal right, we are also moving on with looking at other options, but I am sure they can multi task by enforcing a contract and also looking to hopefully recruit a replacement.

I agree they wouldn't have risked him in 'formal' sessions, but he'll have still be getting well prepped for the season. His immediate inclusion in the matchday 17 is an obvious giveaway.

he will have been training with Cronulla, probably not in team runs which is more likely to what Maloney was alluding to, but fitness etc.. then yes, i'm personally pretty sure on that. but, as like the fee paid to Leeds, we will never get a factual response on the matter, no point arguing it anymore. Lets move on.

Nobody on here knows either way - pointless d1ck measuring

If the accounts are a fair representation of what has happened the transfer fee will be shown as other income and should e visible - this is Leeds CA&F so its unlikely and it will be July 2018 before the accounts will be out by then this will long forgotten.

How many training sessions did Parcell have before he trotted out with the team - same can be said of Ali aSegyaro himself when Leeds signed them - that is what happens with new signings they don't wait weeks until they get used to the patterns they throw them straight in.

I think that it's only on here & only for a few posters that this saga has been a distraction once we replaced him with Parcell.

I'll always remember the fact he dragged us through the playoffs kicking and screaming last year.

Exactly the calibre of player we needed, just a shame he decided to do what he did (though Eastwood was worse IMO) but I'll be thankful for what he did when we needed it the most.

I think we'll leave this thread here, its had a good run.
