on sky channel 108 sky 3 there is a programme on now called cant stop eating, and there is guy on it who is greg eastwoods double

I have just flicked over to see and you are correct Sir

Nice one Andy - spot on

To be fair the Doggies announcement only appears to be about young players and backroom people.

I don't think we'll be getting any 1st team Doggies player in 'exchange' for Eastwood,certainly not for next season.

I can see it now, 'No point in making a signing just for the sake of it and with Eastwood possibly staying on (as if) circumstances have unfortunately transpired against Leeds as the market has settled. However should a world class player become available during 2011 Leeds will be poised with cap and quota space available to secure their services. In the meantime the emergence of Clarkson and Ambler have reduced the urgency in finding an immediate replacement.

Now how many season tickets would you like for next season?'

Anyone remember us signing a similar deal with a French team back in the late 80s and having nothing to show for it ?

I think George W Bush said it best:

"There's an old saying in Headingley -- I know it's in Castleford, probably in Headingley -- that says, fool me once, shame on --shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

Can't help but feel we are the ones that have lost on Eastwood going but he didnt settle and i wish him all the best. Its a shame as we have seen some real glimpse's of a top class player

Don’t know if it’s true or not but I heard somewhere (probably on here) that the reason the Eastwood didn’t settle was due to his girlfriend’s ex.
Apparently she has a kid with an ex boyfriend and it was him who prevented her from coming over to England to be with Gregg.

Eastwood was missing some sweet sugar if you know what I mean.

Doesnt look like it's going to be such an attractive proposition moneywise for the overseas players in the coming year.

So who's availble who's british?

At this point - no much.

Ben Cross according to the YEP.
No link as yet just bought the paper GH also states that the Dogs did Pay $$ for Eastwood and that he has more meetings with the Dogs and Souths re-link ups.

I say good luck to the lad. He was unfortunate with his injuries but IMO was one of our best forwards if not [uthe[/u best forward this year who always gave his best. He was our best at go forward and put in some great hits and off loads and really stepped up to the plate as a prop late in the season.

Had he not been injured he may well have settled into the side without the home sickness problem but being on the sidelines for so long would have put him on the finges of the side and would have given him too much time to dwell on missing his home, family and friends. Our loss is the Dogs gain and we do well to replace anything like his class.

Excellent recruitment... he'll only be 32.



So long as the YEP state that's the case, then it must be true.

You must not believe everything you read in the paper my gullible young friend - it may not always be true.

Erm.............Whoooooossssh!

It's a quote from GH within the article so no reason to doubt it.
Hetherington said"Canterbury have come up with the fee and Greg leaves with our best wishes.
We got pretty much the full asking price ,which we are pleased with obviously."
Of course if you can prove otherwise feel free to do so.

Did we get it in cash though or something else pretty much up to the full asking price?

I'll take his spin for what it is.

Take it as you find it , i only posted the quote and imo there's no point lying about the deal is there?
I'm sure the Bulldogs themselves would put it straight if there were any untruths stated re-the agreement.

I haven't said there is any lying, i've said there's spin.

the daily mail quoted that we got £60,000 for eastwood this morning

So nowhere near the asking price. Like I said, spin.

"Pretty much near the asking price at 60%"

Don't believe everything youvread in the papers you gullible young man

I very much doubt it was anywhere near 60%

HTH
