| With hindsight you can obviously criticise the signing. But at the time it was an example of the sort of signing everyone is calling for us to make now.
If anything it proves it’s not an exact science.

"It’s been a really good experience, but I’m really keen to get home – I’ve been thinking about it for a long time,” he said.
“Driving to games, thinking about going home, it’s not healthy. I’m over the moon to be coming back to Australia and back in the NRL, to have the opportunity to play there again."'"
Think this confirms what we already new, he hasn’t been interested, and doesn’t want/never wanted to be here. It’s unfortunate that we gave no choice but to puck him for the rest of the season.

Must have been creating an opening for Jack to come in as saviour then
Sinfield was a great on-field leader (and perhaps in the dressing room too), but his various stints of coaching in either code have not exactly matched the heights set in his playing career.

Exactly.
At the time, both Sezer and Tetevano were what we wanted and needed.
Doesn't always work out.
Currently we've got no halves and are 2 props down for next season.
But at least we've got 3 full backs.

| I feel like we got the exact version of Sezer that was evident at Huddersfield. His star days were long behind him. Giants fans had the same complaints as we do now.
And also we got pretty much the same version of Tetavano at the Roosters/Penrith. Solid but not the marquee star we needed.

| I can’t remember rightly the back end of Sezers time at Huddersfield. He had a really good first year, and then the year we signed him was ‘injured’ but I seem to remember Hudds fans at the time thinking it was because he was moving on.
Tet was good for two really good NRL teams he should have been better but at times has probably been victim of expectation or trying too hard.
Nonetheless they were two ‘names’
It isn’t always the answer.

didnt Watson refuse to play him once he'd announced he was coming here?

| I remember someone from Hudds (Jools maybe) coming on and saying he got the monk on and turned up to games sulking and gobbing off once he was out of the team.

| Smith says Sezer won't play again this regular season so his career with Leeds looks to be over.

I know there’s other reasons, and we shouldn’t use it as an excuse, but some of the inconsistencies suffered in the spine this year go hand in hand with how inconsistent we’ve been as a team. Those same spine players being inconsistent themselves when they have been fit hasn’t helped either.

| Really disappointed with Sezer's time at Leeds, I was excited when we signed him and had high hopes of us having an ex-Canberra first grade half back pairing.
Funny how form fluctuates so much with some players - I'd say especially NRL players for some reason. They seem to look amazing for a couple of seasons and regularly fall of a cliff at some point. You really can tell the pure class players who are consistent over a career, different gravy.
Anyway good luck to him, one thing's for sure is that Leeds are going to look and play very differently next year with new 1, 6, 7, plus possibly a new forward and centre.

| Sezer just wasn't the leader we have desperately needed. If anything he's been one of the first to go MIA when the going got tough. He'll need to change that attitude at Wests, who have a really weak squad in NRL terms. Maybe as its his last shot he may put himself in the mix in a way he just didn't for Leeds.
