So when you posted GH's quotation earlier, which I assume you obtained from an official source linked to the club, why did you omit any mention of the following... [i"Leeds Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington has confirmed that James Segeyaro will remain at the club and is looking forward to next season with the Rhino"[/i... and furthermore, why did you insist that Gotcha had to provide an actual quote from GH?


Constructing your straw men and knocking them down does not equate to anyone else making stuff up... apart from you of course. As for throwing insults around, did Donald Trump tell you to say that?

If you think an NRL club in its right mind would try to beat the cap then you haven't seen what's happening here with the Eels. At least one and maybe more individuals are going to be tried for fraud on top of the huge penalties the club faces, and the fact those involved have lost their jobs and are almost unemployable (including Daniel Anderson). The idea that any Sharks officials would try to get away with under the table payments to Segeyaro when there's no guarantee he'll ever play for them is crazy.

Yet despite all the warning signs after what happened at Melbourne & the Doggies the Eels still tried it!!.
The Sharks may or may not try to cheat the SC wrt Segeyaro but to say NO NRL club would try & cheat the cap is imo way ott.

As Rhino Mark pointed out, saying no club will try it because of previous is silly. I mean we're talking about a club that went and told a contracted player (Segeyaro) to go get himself a release from his contract .....not exactly doing things by the book are they and with an agent who has had a few dodgy episodes in his past including betting on NRL games then I wouldn't say looking after him was past them. The lad won't be scraping by on peanuts and tap water I'm sure.

More unsubstantiated piffle from one of the usual suspects who is so demanding of anyone else in providing incontrovertible evidence for their assertions

That has to be the most ironic post ever to grace Southstander.

Nice.

I would hope that this is resolved given the Sharks hierarchy are over in the uk for the WCC then we can all move on.

To be fair, there is a subtle difference in the stance the Sharks have publicly maintained and what you're saying - they were interested in him before the deadline and spoke to his manager but were not in a position to offer a deal - after the Barba situation, they were approached by his manager to see if they were still interested - they said all along that if Segeyaro were to be released by Leeds, they'd be interested. That's slightly different to 'telling a contracted player to get a release'.
