Who is this Eastwod?

Dunno had a few too many me thinks

I told you so.

He's no great loss to you.

Cannot really comment how big a miss he will be as EASTWOOD never played a game for us.

You can't lose what you've never had.

That's a good call mate and he has a release clause for 2010 should he get a visa on appeal!
The question is should the rhinos target someone else or wait for eastwood??
And should we be looking to sign someone else for this season??

or go with what we already have.

2nd row (and bench) of jonesy, ablett, ali, kirke, even peacock or bailey when needed is better then most in the league. not to meantion that if leeds push ahead with the 2 hookers, either disko or buderus will be playing 2nd for parts of the game

I think we should sign Jonathan Thurston quality player.

I'm with you here Superman.

Cant see us signing anyone else, safe to say the forwards haven't disappointed this season. Can only get stronger as the season goes on & players return.

Not sure, but as Eastwood isn't coming are you going to admit defeat and change your signature?


Its a shame he isn't able to get a visa for what seems like such petty reasons though.

That is possibly one of the most fekwitted posts I've ever read on this board.

Why should we spend what would be a shed load of cap and waste an overseas place on a scrum half/stand off when we already have sufficient in that area? So sufficient in fact that triple titles have been built off a backbone including these players.

But hey, lets destroy all that.

You think adding thurston would destroy that???

Id let Maguire go to the NRL and stick Burrow at 6, but then again im not a Leeds fan

So bringing in an overseas player to unseat a current player wouldnt upset the very foundations this team has been built on?

You have to stop doing that, I just read the claptrap, presume from the Avatar that Tad has lost the plot, then I realise it's only you.

But you are an idiot!

We're in a good position with free cap and quota space now if anybody decent comes available.

Why would you use valuable cap space on a position that doesn't need strengthening?

I'd say we're more than in a good position... there must be bucket loads of space... GH is in a tricky situation now.. there's some serious thought gunna have to be given to this/next seasons squad. There's no doubt they want Eastwood for next season.. but it leaves us a tad short for this year. It shall be interesting to see how it develops.

We already had space before this Eastwood situation. As expressed by GH before season started. Enough to sign a quality player if he becomes available through the season.

By that judgement you must have been looking at something up to £100k. With Eastwoods money now not been used, and the potential that Smith could be released early, we must be looking at upwards to £250k available on the cap.

We already have a better fullback, that some on here are happy to see go unless he accepts peanuts for pay. So why pay for him for much more.

Let's get the rumour mill really wound up.


Sam Burgess for me!!!!

That's the spirit NSF straight in with the big guns and i'll add westerman into the mix!!
