I took it with a pinch of salt as I do all rumours but I’ve heard it from someone I know who knows a member of Leemings family and Hurrell is the name I’ve heard could be right could be miles out. Myler was the first offer and we turned it down supposedly. Trouble is he’s on far bigger money than Leeming and we don’t want to carry it all.

Same source says they will announce Sezer when his visa comes through.

Leeds only have two centre's on their books the rest are kids so I doubt very much it would be Hurrell.

Giants are now in a tug of war battle with Canterbury Bulldogs over Sezer. If we don't manage to sign him, and Kruise leaves (seems guaranteed). Are we f*@k*d next season? Or can either Frawley, Holmes or Russell raise there game to a level we need to take us where we need to be?
To be honest, the longer the Sezer saga continues, the less likely he is to sign. Seems like we put all our eggs in one basket and we are going to miss out.

Just like last year......
If sezer isn’t signed then losing Kruise really is going to hurt us, and We are one hooker injury away from disaster!

Reported in aus that Sezer has signed off his Canberra contract release papers. Due to be interviewed by aus journalist later so all will be revealed....

Will it be us or Canterbury

On Canberra Raiders fans forum, to be interviewed by "Clarky on facebook" but for some reason was postponed. The article behind it says it is definitely us!

While on lions tour was told from a very reliable source that Fartown had signed a new Australian half back. If this does not come off it will go down like a lead balloon with players and supporters alike. Getting worried now that it may have fallen through. You would think a major signing before season ticket deadline would be a big boost. I hope this signing comes through quickly as the squad now looks a lot weaker than this time last year and we all know how that went.

Keep the faith.
When we do sign this new half back (hopefully in the near future), although I'm no marketing expert, wouldn't it be good PR for the Giants to extend the season ticket deadline (say by a month)?
