Where did this announcement on Feb 26 originate from?

It's an announcement that is going to be made at a Platinum members event / Captain's Run before the trial. I wouldn't expect anything massive.... more likely a re-signing or a sponsorship.

Penrith Junior, went to Souths and then signed for Wigan.
Played 1 year then sacked for cocaine use

Cheers, I’ll take a look @ him when he’s playing

I don’t understand why they have to announce an announcement? Why can’t they do it at the time they’ve planned without saying anything? Invite the press by all means but 24-48 hours notice should be enough.

We need to announce the announcement now so we can get in the media and start trash talking everyone else's weakass announcements. Won't get enough PPV viewers for our announcement otherwise.

I'd just like to announce I'll make comment in 9 days. Thank you.

Excellent. Two comments supporting my point of view. It’s all a wank if you ask me.

 

[Proud Shark]

I heard we are announcing Cameron Smiths retirement for him.

They're getting better at this Chad

 

[Tiger Shark]

Wait. So Sharks have told platinum members there’s an announcement on the 26th?

Can’t see it being anything big if true

 

[puma1355]

Bellamy and Hughes double would be nice

Bellamy yes, Hughes no.

 

[vicsharkfan]

We would be telling the world if it was Bellamy not just platinum members.

 

[puma1355]

It's probably they are getting a free $50 voucher to the mexican restaraunt

 

[kiwishark]

If they just said every new member's cash would go straight to the Bellamy fund, I think we'd see record numbers

Where do I sign up?

 

[puma1355]

I'm hearing a rumour Steve Price could be on his way to Sydney.

Segeyaro has been handed a backdated 20-month ban by the NRL for testing positive to di-hydroxy LGD-4033, a substance banned by the NRL and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA).

After 16 months in exile, an emotional Segeyaro was on the verge of tears when The Daily Telegraph broke the news to the 30-year-old that he will be allowed to play rugby league again on June 3.

He was provisionally suspended by the NRL on October 3, 2019.

“What? Oh my goodness, I’m going to cry,’’ Segeyaro said.

James Segeyaro’s wait to play rugby league again is almost over. Picture: Peter Wallis James Segeyaro’s wait to play rugby league again is almost over. Picture: Peter Wallis “You have no idea what this means to me. I’m lost for words.’’

The NRL confirmed that Segeyaro’s detailed defence of how he tested positive to the banned supplement was crucial to the former Cowboys, Panthers, Sharks and Broncos hooker escaping a four-year ban.

Ultimately, Segeyaro was able to prove to authorities that the sharing of a housemate’s kitchen blender was the overriding contributor to his downfall.

Chicko free to play mid year

Good luck finding a club.

Good luck finding a club.

Unclear how I'm supposed to be reading this? Genuine wish of good luck or...?

The timing is actually fantastic for him, June 3 gives him a few weeks he could train with a club looking for a hooker to prove he deserves their last roster spot before June 30 deadline.
More likely than not someone being a bit thin on hookers is his best bet to get an NRL contact but at least he can also resume playing NSW/Qld level.
If he keeps fit I could imagine a club who is down their first or second choice hooker having a look at him as a backup option.
