Segeyaro wants to stay

BRISBANE mid-season recruit James Segeyaro has set his sights on a contract extension at the Broncos in the wake of his Friday match-winning cameo against the Roosters.

In the space of a week, Segeyaro has gone from a Sydney barista languishing in reserve grade at Newtown to the Brisbane super-sub who has given a caffeine hit to the Broncos’ interchange bench.

The Broncos’ hooking position was in a state of crisis a fortnight ago when incumbent Queensland rake Andrew McCullough suffered a freak knee injury at training.

But McCullough’s absence has opened the door for Segeyaro, whose dummy-half snipe in the 70th minute sealed an epic 15-10 victory over the Roosters in his Broncos debut.

“That’s what I hope for, to stay on here at the Broncos,” Segeyaro said.
