He signed a 3 year deal didn't he? I know contracts seemingly mean nothing these days but surely he wouldn't be heading back with 2 thirds of his contract left.

GH wont get burned again like he did last year with SEG this contract will be cast iron

How is Segayaro doing back in Oz?
I don`t think I have seen him play yet.

He got injured in one of his first games back.

Broke his arm in his 3rd appearance and has been out since early April, on the brink of returning though.

Parcell doesn't strike me as the type to do 'a Segeyaro' though and wouldn't just leave us in a mess at short notice. That's not to say he'll definitely see out his 3 years but at least it'd be more likely done right with him asking to go at the end of a season whilst giving us plenty of time to find a replacement and not running off in the off season.

Where has this rubbish about Parcell leaving come from? Not everyone is like Segeyaro!

Pretty obvious he'll be leaving though innit? Blokes class + young.

I've already resigned mesen that he's off at the end of the year to soften the blow when it inevitability happens.

I really bloody hope not. First time we've had a real decent hooker since Aiton and hell has it shown this year.

On top of Rumours of burrow retiring and hallas permanent move to bulls. It'd be one step forward three steps back.

Those flipping rugby gods hey?
It only goes to prove that God is a yorkshireman.

Leeds 2nd in SL table, Cronulla 3rd in NRL table but with s game in hand.

World Club series game next year possibly? Wonder if Segeyaro could manage a week back in Yorkshire though? Would be a tasty reaction he'd get from fans and Leeds players if that match did happen.

I bet you would get good odds for that to happen.
Not impossible though and I for one never thought we would be in with a shout.
Still plenty of twists and turns yet to come.

Who'd have thought we'd be in this position after the demoralising defeat at Cas earlier in the season.
Maybe only GH & McDermott who were pilloried on here for even suggesting it after that game.
I must admit that I was highly sceptical after our early season form. Just goes to show.

I backed us to win the grand final at 16/1 after that defeat. I'm fairly confident those odds will have considerably shortened.

Looks like he could be here a lot longer according to the league express, he's bought a house and his family are happy. He wants an upgrade on his contract and I believe he damn well deserves one, he's been the saviour of our team this year! Let's hope that Hetherington realises this and gives him what he wants!

Hope he stays!
Should be a MOS contender best import I have seen for a while.

I'm not a "told you so" kind of person but what the hell!

Though his NRL game time was limited you could see he was a gun. The QLD cup has teams that would make the SL top 8. Parcell was best player in that comp by a mile.

He has been outstanding and he would be my choice for skipper next season

Wonder how many of the keyboard CEO's on here that give GH constant stick for his trips for Australia will give him proper credit for finding Parcell.....or Cuthbertson.....or Garbutt.

yep. nobody has said they went good spots. you forgot joe Vickery though. and achurch.

Not quite sure Parcell was subject to a thorough scouting mission, word was clearly out in Australia we were desperate for a hooker and he was surplus and the best available at the the time. Think it was the same with Garbutt mid 2015 who was out of favour at the Broncos and was a bonus signing for us. Cuthbertson was a known player, but for every Cuthbertson there is a Ben Cross.

Bottom line is, it's never a guarantee an import will be a success but thankfully in this case Parcell has been a huge one so credit does go to GH on this signing. Without him we could have been looking at middle 8 scrap and i don't think that's over egging it.

No I think you're right. No Parcell and we aren't top 4 that's for sure. Certainly top 8. But not in the play off picture.

Throw in cross/falloon

imports are difficult to judge to be fair.
it's more his lack of recruitment in last 2 years that's an issue

For mine, the biggest sin that the club have committed is the apparent failure to prepare a robust succession plan to account for the fading away of the " Golden Generation". Nearly 2 years on from the loss of Sinny and Peacock we are still talking about the hole that their leaving has left at the club and we are about to lose a few more. What ever else can be said about GH (and there is lots to say that is +ve) This has not been a smooth transition period. Still we finished second and made both semis so compared to last year this season has been a triumph
