I know this subject has been overdone just lately but it looks like he's definately heading off back down under at the end of the year.

If you do your homework Emma it was actually me who broke the story that we had signed Greg back in 2008.
That came from a certain someone at the club.
And I'd quite happily tell a mod rather than go splashing names on here willy nilly. If that's not good enough for you then wait for the official announcement.

Like Batley says, he's welcome here but he's also welcome to go. We won't miss what he's done in the 2 years since we signed him, you can't miss what you haven't had!
I still think the club should make him stay.

Agree with first bit but not the second if he's not happy or committed to the cause then he should be allowed to leave.If he's force to stay will Leeds get the best out of him, I doubt it.
Reading earlier reports when he first signed it was fairly clear he only came over for the money,so the decreased value of the pound plus his injury woe certainly won't have help the situation. |

If he wants to go, how could the club make him stay? |

I'm not sure they could - or should be seen to - enforce his contract if he returned to Australia. the only reason to play hard ball would be nothing to do with Eastwood and all about getting some compensation from whichever NRL side wanted him. Given the likely relatively small scale of that compensation and the resultant impact on Leeds' image Down Under, I can't see that happening.
If the rumours are even half true then I suspect he'll leave at the end of the year. If he asked to be released during the season then I'm glad Leeds didn't let him go. The end of the year is a different matter unless we can't get a suitable replacement.

The difficulty is the longer we leave it the more difficult it will be to get a suitable replacement.
I wonder if Heighington fancies coming over? |

I'd be surprised if the Tigers were willing to release him mate he and Ellis are the "Engines"
in their engine room. |

They couldn't but they could prevent him playing elsewhere during the duration of his contract. or make life very difficult for him. |

But I presume he would then count on the salary cap, which may not be in the clubs interests. If the rumours are true, I can't see him leaving till the end of the season, (he's injured anyway so why would he leave) but the wheels may already be in motion to line up a replacement if he leaves "by mutual consent" |

Meh,
Would yuo all be this understanding if, say, Sinfield, wanted to walk out mid contract and play for Wigan because it's closer to home?

Unfortunately yes or at least I would, once all reasonable steps have been taken to mediate with the player. If the player wants out of the club then ultimately that is what is most likely to happen (unless the player has a change of heart or can be persuaded to stay.) I'd nominate McDermott to take the Kissanger role.
If that fails then the contract would be used to determine the neccessary level of compensation required.
The club moves on, it has to.

If Gregs unhappy then the club should not and im sure won't stand in his way of returning home. It will be very disappointing for the fans but I can fully understand if he does go. Coming over here at 22 was a huge move for him...
