Buderus yes but certainly not in the case of Eastwood.

They planned to have him, therefore as he is not here they are not weaker as a result, same with Crocker/FC etc.

Had they known he could not get a visa they would have made another signing, so right now they are missing a player.

All the players I mentioned would be in the first team if fit and available

Not sure what you are getting at?

Has Eastwood been part of Leeds matchday plans/tactics for their 3 games this season?

Whats that got to do with it? neither has Webb or Burrow because they are injured, does that mean we do not miss them?

How can you miss Eastwood when he has never played for you

Is this a fact or made up like your claim that Sinfield spat at Bentham?

Because he was a direct replacement for Gareth Ellis (one of our best players for the past 4 years), It's not rocket science.

Tell me who in super league wouldn't miss a world cup winning player?

So by that summat baffling logic, we're missing Todd Carney

Yes. You planned your 2009 squad with Carney as an integral part, you will now be looking to replace him won't you?
