After just two training sessions with the Sharks NRL squad, coach Shane Flanagan has opted to play new recruit James Segeyaro in today’s game against the Parramatta Eels.
Signed just this past week, Segeyaro will begin the match on the interchange bench and is expected to at some stage replace and give youngster Jayden Brailey a break.
Brailey played 80-minutes for the Sharks last week in their loss to the Dragons.
In other late mail news, centre Kurt Capewell comes out, with the experienced Gerard Beale in the run-on the side as his replacement.
