I feel like we got the exact version of Sezer that was evident at Huddersfield. His star days were long behind him. Giants fans had the same complaints as we do now.

And also we got pretty much the same version of Tetavano at the Roosters/Penrith. Solid but not the marquee star we needed.

I can’t remember rightly the back end of Sezers time at Huddersfield. He had a really good first year, and then the year we signed him was ‘injured’ but I seem to remember Hudds fans at the time thinking it was because he was moving on.

Tet was good for two really good NRL teams he should have been better but at times has probably been victim of expectation or trying too hard.

Nonetheless they were two ‘names’
It isn’t always the answer.

didnt Watson refuse to play him once he'd announced he was coming here?

I remember someone from Hudds (Jools maybe) coming on and saying he got the monk on and turned up to games sulking and gobbing off once he was out of the team.

Smith says Sezer won't play again this regular season so his career with Leeds looks to be over.

Having all 4 spine players that started the year either out injured til the end of the year or left the club mid season is some going.

I know there’s other reasons, and we shouldn’t use it as an excuse, but some of the inconsistencies suffered in the spine this year go hand in hand with how inconsistent we’ve been as a team. Those same spine players being inconsistent themselves when they have been fit hasn’t helped either.

Really disappointed with Sezer's time at Leeds, I was excited when we signed him and had high hopes of us having an ex-Canberra first grade half back pairing.

Funny how form fluctuates so much with some players - I'd say especially NRL players for some reason. They seem to look amazing for a couple of seasons and regularly fall of a cliff at some point. You really can tell the pure class players who are consistent over a career, different gravy.

Anyway good luck to him, one thing's for sure is that Leeds are going to look and play very differently next year with new 1, 6, 7, plus possibly a new forward and centre.

Sezer just wasn't the leader we have desperately needed. If anything he's been one of the first to go MIA when the going got tough. He'll need to change that attitude at Wests, who have a really weak squad in NRL terms. Maybe as its his last shot he may put himself in the mix in a way he just didn't for Leeds.
