Until something changes in his circumstances, e.g. the conviction becomes spent for immigration purposes, then there is going to be nothing to report.

I'd stilll be surprised if he ends up at Leeds in 2010.

He normally doesn't come out with this annual 'we're scouring the universe' for talent until a few weeks before next seasons season tickets go on sale



ha ha cheeky

I seem to recall though that one of the few updates we had months ago suggested Eastwood's appeal decission was due in the next couple of weeks.At the time I worked that out to be not long after Crocker's appeal and we find out the result of that weeks ago.

Unless GH is keeping things up his sleeve then this must surely impact his so called recruitment drive as until we know what is happening with Porky we don't know how much money we have to spend or what quota spots.

From what i've seen of his performances on Setanta this year I'm been mostly unimpressed with Eastwood anyway so IMO i'd cast him adrift now and move on '"

I thought he had already appealed and lost.
As far as GH showing his hand now as opposed to the pre season anticipated rush for tickets.
I am not sure I would be tempted to buy knowing we are looking at the lower leagues to recruit.
Maybe he is saving the superstar signing until December

he is a bit portly still - I'd rather have Pritchard

now according to YEP website Leeds are also looking at Cas's Sione Faumina (sorry no good at doing links from websites)

how do you add to the "best squad ever assembled"??

clearly any signing that Gary makes is simply going to make it better

I hope not...
Kevin Sinfields potential replacement...

You sign a player and add them to the squad.

Looked nailed on a few months back but I have a feeling things may have changed.

One overseas player that the club has been keeping tabs on over in oz is Jamal Idris, he's only a young kid, but he's got heaps of talent and will go on to make it to the very top of RL

He has also been dropped a couple of times for club breaches of discipline

Yeah i heard he sounds very promising he's at Bulldogs Rugby League Football Club right?...
Get Him Here Brian McClennan will sort him out...

Or after taking stick on here and elsewhere about letting more players go than we sign, we're recruiting on the cheap ....

That's him mate

Yeah, cos Brian McClennan is renowned for discipline.

to be fair boss Brian had ok discipline with last years squad (same one TS had) winning the title at the first shot.

I do hope the sleeve is looking at maintaining the level of quality the academy produces each year

In your and GH's dreams perhaps but that's about it.

A superstar in the making. Chances of getting him to Leeds must therefore be close to zero.

Go on then, I'll ask...

Why do they call him 'the sleeve'?

In the YEP GH says it is not certain that there will be new faces added to the squad for 2010.

I hope this is GH being his cagey self.

Most people he meets think he's like a wizzard's sleeve.
