You can't regulate for injuries in a fit, young player like Eastwood. When he's been on the park he's been eye catching. O'Neil was just plain *hit.

he will be lucky if a aussie club will splash out almost $180k for him.

Has the pound dropped that much!

1.59 when I was over last month FFS.

Most expensive holiday ever

If Eastwood does leave it will be interesting to see who gets the infamously 'lucky' number 15 jersey.



His dad John was a pretty decent centre for Leeds although that was before Jamie was born I guess.

Langley would make an excellent signing but being English may be too expensive for Leeds' tastes unless he is willing to take a pay cut.

I think GH could be calling his bluff with the valuation.

He has played very well and shown no lack of commitment when fit so I think Hetherington is just being smart, we would be very lucky to get someone of Eastwoods age and talent to replace him.

He's indicated a preference not to be here. We waited for his lies to expire when we should have binned him then and now he's over here he's pi55ing the club about again.

There is nobody mroe fickle than you on here.

I didn't ever think that Leeds needed him anyways, so don't think you'll be missing much without him.

We should have gone for Ben Westwood like I said at the time.

You might say that. Particularly with the Aussies. At all. Not even close to.

As for Langley. Highly unlikely, although the club are stalling on a new deal. TVOC, he ain't one of the highest earners at Odsal so wages would very likely be less than Eastwood.

Scruton, nah. He is on twice the money at Odsal Rhinos offered him prior to departure. GH won't want to lose face moreover.

As for Balsawood, he is purely being used as bait for an equally profiled Antipodean.

Prime example.

As one who left home at 17 to go and work and live in a completely different city and environment ( I left Cookridge and went to live in crappy boarding houses with low lifes and labourers as bedfellows for gods sake

) then the phrase "homesick" rings a chord, the difference between me and this namby-pamby Eastwood is that I stuck it out for eight years.

Like you said, these big daft lads don't know they're born sometimes, I'm sure there must be many BDL's from a previous generation of players who would happily explain to them what usually happens when the playing days are up...

Same ,left home to join the R.N at 18 and did longer than a few months.

How were the sailors?

Gentle?

Now yer just telling porkies you said you didn't rate him and he was naff which when he has played has proved that to be bollox!
If you can dig up your post that says he would fail to settle ,have 3 injuries and request to leave then i'll agree.

Unless otherwise requested!

Fussy little minx aren't you.

A chew-off's a chew-off to me.

Mate many 10 to 2 moments in spit 'n' saw dust establishments

I just wish they wouldnt go and bring in an aussie and look at someone English. Lets buck the trend.

Hope my mam wasn't involved.

Who are you on about there?

I did say all this the other week and Ryan has pre-signed for us that is why he turned Salford down!

He should be booed for the rest of the season for disrespecting the club, its proud history, it's personnel and the fans.

It's a blow to lose Greg no doubt. When he was fit he was excellent, made a real impact off the bench. We need a like for like if we can. Maybe GH can splash some transfer cash to get the right man. Very unusual for a Kiwi to get home sick, it's normally the Aussies that do that

It's got a whiff of a tap up to me....

I'd like to see Langley brought in personally. Big unit, impact player, good player and English.

Let him go now. I would rather have someone who is passionate about the club playing for us than someone who Leeds have bent over backwards for, and who isn't willing to return the favour.

His interviews before he came didn't sell him in the best light as I can remember an underlying tone of his commitment even then.
