Agreed, must have been infuriating to coach or have in your team, especially as every so often he'd do something good (seem to remember a try where he changed ball carrying hand behind his back to finish in the corner) I was gobsmacked. Do more of that.

Karl Pryce, makes Achurch look like barrie mac

Back on topic, are we to assume Parcell gets the 9 shirt?

I think it's already been announced that he'll be wearing 9.

GH confirmed it a couple of weeks ago mate.

Must have missed that one.

Are we almost at the point of the undisclosed fee for Segeyaro then? a substantial fee, more than we could have hoped for... ground breaking partnership with an NRL club etc... etc...

my thoughts too biff
imo i would have thought that the club should have been banging the drum on the 3rd january when chicko didn't return as planned for training and that the club were taking serious actions as a result

has anyone seen any such dialogue ?

Since the club allegedly stopped paying him his wages long before the 3rd of January, what possible motive could Segeyaro have to return on that date?

perhaps he could use the trip back to the uk as therapy for the serious home sickness phobia that he has just recently discovered

With Segeyaro the club were clear that his decision to sign and then renege on his contract for this season left them in a very very difficult position. Now its easy to think of the club as some monolith but it is also the individuals who make up the team and the off-field staff. For some of those players this season will be their final chance at Silverware and Segeyaro's decision to sign and then renege has damaged that (however small you think that possibility is). Segeyaro made a commitment to the club and made a commitment to his team-mates.

There would be no issue had he not signed at the end of last year, there would have been less of an issue had he approached the club after signing and explained his position and asked for a move if the club could arrange it and arrange a suitable arrangement. There would have been less of an issue had, if that wasnt possible, Segeyaro had offered to fulfill his commitment for this season to give the club time to arrange a replacement. But he didnt do any of those. He walked out to the detriment of the club and his team-mates.

Though I'm sure the 20% post-brexit fall in the pound v the Aus Dollar has very little to do with the amount of antipodeans with homesickness we have seen this year.

In which case he should have manned up and not signed it in the first place. A decision that pretty much everyone would have respected.

Not everyone is equipped with the requisite [i'mantality'[/i, unlike yourself of course.
