James Segeyaro signs with Broncos - Effective Immediately

[Footy Fanatic]

Pros: Has been playing 80 minutes most weeks for Newtown (7 games)
Cons: Only has 2 tries, 1 try assists, 3 line-break assists & 3 forced drop outs this season, is also only average 30 running metres per game.

The attacking stats are an obvious improvement on Macca, but the running metres are a concern, for reference Macca is running close to 40 metres per game this year, I'm hoping that's due to the system Segeyaro is playing in more so than him losing his speed and footwork..

Hopefully Seibold tells him to get out and run from behind our forward pack when it is rolling.

Yeah, fingers crossed. I imagine Seibold will just give him the Cook treatment. Similar players etc etc

Time to say goodbye to Macca.

 

[Jedhead]

The heart says 'you beauty' I've loved his X factor since his Penrith days. The head 'says I hope to God we have a watertight contract that stipulates any BS and your gonski'.

He knows he has 6 or so weeks to prove his worth and if his form drops Macca will get his spot back.

We are the ‘welfare’ club though... Hence we signed Roberts...

Trouble is, we don't have Wayne to guide them.

You can't forget the character flaws. Cowboys did that with Ben Barba.

Segs has had nothing against him like Barba has to my knowledge.

Segeyaro is an ordinary player which people will soon see. Takes wrong options and can’t read the game.

I don’t think our leadership group is strong enough to keep him in check. I feel this might be a disaster signing

In what way? Surely we only gave him 100k.

...about time we had some serious depth at the 9....seriously surprised we had none coming into the season....this could be inspired....or not..!

I like the bloke but I'll reserve judgment until he gets a few games under his belt. Jeez I feel sorry for Turpin though, would probably have expected to be starting for the next few weeks but after tonight it's a bit up in the air now.

I'm excited to see what he can bring to the team but this is what I'm worried about too.

He is a bad influence on the players and some of our guys are pretty easily led

He provides variety out of dummy half and is quick off the mark. He may be a drop kick personality wise but is a sound replacement till Macca recovers. Our leadership group is non existent but he'll be able to serve a purpose for the remainder of the year.

Maybe this is the plan to get Roberts sacked.

....surely he doesn't start tonight though..??....he cant be match fit yet..?

He's been playing 80 every week for Newtown, he's match fit.

Won't be playing tonight though, didn't get him on the team list Tuesday. He'll play next week.

he can't, he wasn't named Tuesday.
