Seggy will be the No. 1 hooker in the club. Whether he starts or not. A club simply doesn't fight like they have to get a guy and give him cameos. The reality is he is years ahead of Brailey in every way. Brails may well start sometimes but it will not be a matter of putting his hand up when he's gassed. That kid would probably never put his hand up. Oh by the by. I heard the NRL paid the fee.
Think you"ll find we have two running hookers once Brailey finds his feet...could see some exciting footy as the year goes along. Just need the likes of Birdy, Val etc following through backing these guys up!
With Seggy at club, that would now mean goodbye to Nu Brown at end of year, unless Cherrington hits his straps will go as well as come off the bench yesterday for Jets
not wise to bring hi straight in. Needs a game of bench in nsw then a full game in nsw then start full game NRL.
I asked the same question here at work... to be met with 'Do you hear an announcement for every player that is signed'. Which i suppose is a fair question to ask, not ever player gets trumpeted. But, given the nature of this whole fiasco - you'd think the Club would come out and say something before naming him.
We paid the fee, it just doesn't go in our salary cap. That was part of the long negotiation with the NRL.
Nobody will ever know, as the amount would be confidential. The fact that it is confidential, shows that it wasnt the full amount. Any breach of the confidentiality, usually means the full amount is payable. So I would say that Lyle knows, the NRL Salary cap unit knows & Rhinos accountant knows.
Well at least that's consistent with burgess and whatshisname warriors fullback from esl that was a dud
