Nowhere I have seen. Anyway as far as I know there is nothing to stop him getting a passport is there? If your parents/parent is from the UK you can be a citizen cant you? This is an ancestoral visa that was turned down.
And for Adams question... if Kirke can play like he has for the last 2 weeks (especially last night) then I think we will go OK personally.

no, but the fact that hes not coming, and it could be a pretty long time until he gets over here now, so what do you think? |

edit:
going over the sporting life article again, it seems that he needed the visa as part of getting a passport  doesn't seem to make sense |

you need to get clearance to be able to work in the UK first before being able to apply for a UK visa.

| if he appeals the visa section in canberra will look again at his application, if they allow his appeal he could be over here quite soon
if not...
12 weeks for the visa section to send the papers to the UK
4 weeks for the tribunal to list and hear his case
up to six weeks for a decision to be made and reach the visa section
so he might be here by august if he wins  |

There you go, could be a very very long time before we see him in a Rhinos shirt. |

I have always questioned the necessity of Eastwood (and his commitment after his “looking towards returning to the NRL” comment) so my question is – ‘Do we really need him?”
The longer he stays in Oz the longer, I suspect, I will be vindicated.

Can't see Leeds rushing to fill the big gap created by Eastwood no show.
If Leeds do OK, then big lump of dosh saved.
Personally I'd like to see Westerman in a Leeds shirt, but I don't think it'll happen. Seems he's happy to stay a Tigger and win feck all than prove he can step up and win trophies & enhance his international selection credentials.

I see your point mate but i'd still like to see him here because you can never have too many quality players imo.
I think he's got a good chance of winning his appeal and would expect him to be here within a couple of months. |

Isn't the Eastwood deal three years ?
Isn't Westerman's latest contract three years ?
I presume that player contracts would a have a clause that should his employers not be in SL, then they would become a 'free agent' ?
Has the Cas-Dome started being built yet and if not, given the current on-going economic situation, is it now more or less likely when compared to when it was announced ?
The bottom line is Westerman, anyone else half decent that a few teams have got might become available just at the time when Greg Eastwood is off home again ? |

IMO the two best Leeds players, against wakey, were Kirke and JJB so I don't think we are lacking in the second row department.
Eastwood played from last March till the end of November so maybe this added rest could be a blessing in disguise come the end of the season?
If things were to go completely t1ts up I think we would be better signing a prop due to the workload on Peacock and the recent questions over Bailey's ability.

Interchange prop wouldn't be an alternative replacement to Eastwood as that was the role he was most likely to fill anyway.

IF the Eastwood deal is off, after watching Westwood Vs Saints on Friday night i'd be happy to get him (if he played like that week in / week out!).
