At his rumoured contract sum we never got value for money and it has taken chances from keinhorst on a few occasions ,especially last year.

If Ablett is not retiring this year and we aren't moving one or both of jjb/ Delaney on then we won't need another back row until 2018.

I'm keen to see what Ward and Ferres can do after a full pre season with Ablett and keinhorst as back up and one of jjb and Delaney at LF.

Retire at 28? That must have been some fooking contract handed to him 4 years ago.

“It’s definitely not a matter of the club not wanting me to stay at the moment, which is a positive."

*which is a massive negative

He does have a lot to say Achurch doesn't he? Remember earlier in the season during that particularly awful period when he said 'the coaching staff need to come up with something'

Achurch's attitude really does stink ! retire then you soft sod !!!

I could be reading in to this too much but Segeyaro has just put on Twitter that he's moving in to his own place in Chapel Allerton, I would sensibly assume that if he's moving in to his own place he wouldn't be planning on heading back to Aus in a month or so...

But Falloon and Toopi only had a couple of months remaining on their deals so could be paid off and still fit under cap. To pay for example Delaney off with 2 years to be paid would mean no replacement and probably releasing another player to stay under cap.

I would suggest it means the club have got him a short term let so he can move out of Delanney's place - I doubt he is buying a property.

Id say it would be highly unlikely the club would do this with only a few weeks left of the season, unless they knew he was staying.

If reports in Oz were right, he's got till the end of this week to decide whether he's here or not next year - I reckon he's already put pen to paper on it, otherwise the club would have waited until after the deadline.

He is going to head to Australia as soon as the season ends to visit family (as many Southern Hemisphere players do) so I seriously doubt he's got a new place to himself in Leeds if this was to be his final 4 weeks in the country.

On his way to the Dragons according to the above.

dragons are interested but would have to shift marshall first which on his wages could be hard. time will tell he seems to be enjoying his time at leeds and holidays in Barcelona time will tell.

That link says the Dragons are lining up a bid for him, not that he's on his way.

Time to spend a bit of cash and make him marquee Gawy, the difference he brings to our side is huge.

Marshall is out of contract at end of year and they're no longer interested in re-signing him, so they don't need to shift him, he's going anyway as a free agent.

And the Dragons are linked to every free player - they're gash and need plenty of new players.

Segs has today 'favourited' a tweet telling the Dragons to hurry up and table a bid for him. Lovely stuff.
