Greg Eastwood is crap.

And rest!!

I saw Eastwood play in the World Cup last year, in fact I kept a special eye out for him after the announcement that he was Leeds bound, and he didn't look that crap to me.

He's a good player and has a good football 'brain'. Had he not become quite so Bunter-esque he may have stayed more as a stand off/loose forward.

FWIW I've never heard or read him say anything particularly positive about moving to Leeds. The interview he gave to Queensland TV on the day of the deal (when still a Bronco, prior to visa issues and no Bulldogs in sight) he basically said it was amoney-only deal for him. At least he's being honest I suppose.

Because we got high, because we got high, because we got hiiiiigh......

He would immediately become Leeds top prop by a considerable distance. Its vital Leeds get the green light on the Visa.

So he's better than Peacock as a prop? i think not..

I tell you what though McClennen must really rate the lad by the sounds of what Eastwood is saying..

It's OK, he's being an idiot on purpose because, perversely, he thinks it makes him look clever.

Ah right...

the clown.

To some people it just comes naturally

What are you implying?

*puts up dukes*

Eastwood plays as an interchange prop in the NRL (or at least he did before Setanta went t1ts up) and that is the role I would most expect him to fill at Leeds (if he ever gets here).

Leuluai been offered a two year extension (this season) could be linked to the Eastwood Visa problems.

Eastwood is a proven, young, NRL experienced World Cup winner and an outstanding prop, Peacock is on the slide, if you straw poled NRL coaches the vast majority would take Eastwood.

He has also been very good for the Dogs whilst Peacock has been handed his backside by a number of opposing props this season, the latest being Morley and to a lesser extent Carvell.

You keep believing everything Leeds is the best though, I wish I could see in your rose tinted vision!!

Another interchange player?, will end up with more blokes on the bench than starting.
How did the 10 pint a night brigade get on before the interchange & bloodbin rule came in?

I would prefer his rose tint to your myopic monocal....



Peacock v Morley .....a honourable draw on the day clearly.

Without me checking back remind me also who finished on the pitch at the final whistle ...

His contract with the Bulldogs would have been signed and sorted based on the outstanding contract in force, namely the one with Leeds. So the chances are Leeds allowed him to sign another contract on the basis of his existing and current Leeds contract still been in force. As such, if the club wanted him to come, he would have to come and the Bulldogs and Eastwood would have no choice.

I am sure it will come down to our injury status as to whether Leeds call him up to play before next season.

I’m well aware that JP has a high work rate but these stats really drive home how much.

Mozza is no slouch and is probably still nailed to the England 8 shirt but JP has monster stats in comparison.

Even IF he is ‘on the slide’ or losing his edge he could still afford to slide for fekking long time before he was to the standard of your run of the mill Kirke or even Carvell.

Eastwood can't come over for the play offs as he wasn't registered in time for the deadline. No one can sign players for the play offs now.

I thought they had scrapped the deadline for everything but the CC?

I think you'll find he was provisionally registered to us and that this year at least the agreement with the doggies is the equivalent to loan deal!!

My understanding was Eastwood is still on a Leeds contract and he is just loaned to the Bulldogs for this season.

I would imagine that means he is a registered Leeds player and can play as soon as his visa is sorted.

Yep, thought so, you are talking rubbish. If you would like to please point out to me where the RFL Operational Rules for 2009 it talks about player eligibility for the league please feel free to point these out to me. Of course for the CC it is rules B4:7 to B4:10, so don't look that far down.

Anywhere?

As long as he's committed once he's here that will do for me.
