James Segeyaro will appear his first NRL match in over three years, as the Sea Eagles deal with the fallout of seven players refusing to wear the club's LGBTQ pride jersey.
Manly has named James Segeyaro to play his first NRL match in over three years, as the Sea Eagles deal with the fallout of seven players refusing to wear the club's LGBTQ pride jersey.
He was only able to name a 20-player squad when NRL guidelines state they usually must select a 22-player list on Tuesday. There will be at least three debutants for Manly on Thursday at Brookvale Oval, with Pio Seci and Alfred Smalley named on the wing and Segeyaro listed as a bench hooker. Josh Schuster, Christian Tuipulotu, Josh Aloiai and Jason Saab are four of the players who have refused to wear the jersey.
Segeyaro has spent the last year with Blacktown in the NSW Cup after receiving a two-year drugs ban for the use of a performance-enhancing substance while with Brisbane in 2019.
