The longer he stays in Oz the longer, I suspect, I will be vindicated.
Not convinced we don't need him with the loss of Scruton and Ellis.Alli s probably going to be out for a while if we then lost JJB the back-rows looking a bit light for mine.

imo if there was one playing position that this situation would effect leeds the least i would say backrow as this is where we are strongest. we have 5 back rowers in the squad and peacock can also play there. i think having eastwood especialy in attack would be awesome no doubt but him not coming right now effects us less than hull not getting crocker and the dulls not getting bird.
eastwood was a nice addition to the squad
I'm good thanks mate - the missus says hi too.
I think Eastwood is a 'nice to have' more than a 'need to have' - don't get me wrong I think he'd make an exceptional addition to the pack but not too sure if we 'need' him right now.

The emergence of Watkins and the fitness of Gibson means you can throw Ablett into the mix of back rowers, not to mention Worrall who did a decent job as depth last year.

How is Kallum, from going off this week with a knock?

I've no idea. He was warming up on the touchline later in the game so I guess he could've come back on at a pinch.

I take your point but for mine we are now weaker in the back row than we were last season.
I'm disappointed that it now looks like Eastwood will not be joining the club and also feel it is a big blow for the club.

Meh, the trolls from other boards have been telling us how crap he is anyway.
