Purely tongue-in-cheek. We should be aiming higher than Brough, imo.

Good decision to keep him. Yes he's given away more penalties than we would like but that will happen in a struggling team who couldn't win collisions and slow PTB's down. But he's gives us over 100m in attack most games and not many back rowers about who can give you that. He can offload a bit but not seen it be effective too much again because of the teams struggles and he's starting to pop up with a few tries which we don't get many of from our backrowers.

Also with Ward, Ablett and Delaney missing a lot of games then he has had to do a lot more work than ideal. With other starting back rowers back to share the load then could help him play better.

He'd look far better in a Leeds team being led round by a decent half back.

this contract was actually agreed/signed when he first joined the club this year from the giants
he was always going to be taking up the cap space of the departing achurch

I see Hetheringtons already saying there will be no more signings for 2017 (the usual - squad is fully signed BS) If so hes planning for another season of failure and decline. If he cant see we are crying out for an experienced high quality half back the man is a fool.

if no one is retiring early or leaving the club whilst still under contract at the end of this season then i guess that our cap allowance is taken for 2017

same coach same half-backs same season next year then. Oh wait maybe it won't flood kirkstall so we'll b fine

If it does remain as is now we won't be having a year like this, but i struggle to see us doing any better than Saints are this year, maybe a scrape into the four but not challenging for honours. disappointed if true but it may speed up the coaching change. we will see

If that is true. It's shocking news. We are desperate for a hb and soward would be ideal. Would deffo prefer him to brough. Could see soward turning up at saints tho now Kevin brown is stopping at Widnes. Gh needs to get moving and try do a deal and maybe get Walters and more fringe players off the cap to free some space up

Your having a laugh there. No way would our current set up match Saints of this year, we are way behind them. More likely hoping that Wakefield don't do aswell to scrape in the 8's next year.

If we keep Segeyaro then we'll comfortably make the top 8 next year. Do you not think we'd be a number of wins better off if he'd have been here at the start of the season including those close losses at home to Wakey and Widnes who sit just above us. Add to it Ward coming back and the mess with the training ground now sorted then we won't even be flirting with the bottom 4 next year let alone finishing in it.

You think Saints have been good this year? pretty awful mostly from what i have seen and I would still take our current squad over theirs. We have been bad this year, very bad but we are not a middle 8 team with that playing roster, or we shouldn't be imo. and no i don't think the current coaching set up is the way forward but it is what it is for now and next season at least.

I don't think Saints have been good this year at all. But I think they have been a million miles ahead of us. Thing about Saints though, of the teams competing and now, they look possibly the most likely to go on and win the comp, despite how poor they have been throughout the year.

Does that say more about the comp as a whole though than about Saints? Catalans have folded like a cheap tent, Hull have been good so far but you get the feeling it could all go boom anytime. and Wigan have been below their best, well below yet again grind out results but you wouldn't fear them really.Warrington are decent team but far from 2011/12 side and heavily reliant on Sandow.And that is your top 5. So yes, i agree Saints look like they could sneak up on the rails if the cards fall come the play offs, but they really shouldn't be anywhere near with that current team. Just my opinion.

Dare i say it, i would actually fancy our chances right now had we got the right side of some tight games and still being a chance of the four.

If we'd beaten warrington first game, beaten wakefield at easter, saints away, catalans and widnes at home......we'd actually be 5th now based on current table and in with a shout of 2nd. All games we should have won but just lost. Barmy.

You could even argue, and I know this sounds mental, that the only real difference between us and wigan is that they were on the right end of some very close results at the start of the season, and we weren't.
