apparently Greg Eastwood had a storming game both making and scoring trys for his temporary team. With the loss of Ellis it shows what we may be missing out on, he could have given us that extra edge. By the way I think our forwards will still dominate most games and has a former prop (old days) Ryan Bailey is a vital part of that pack and is very much underated.

Old news but agreed we have missed out for this season at least. It shall be very interesting to see what gh does in the coming months re the squad....

I don't know if it has been suggested on any of the previous Eastwood threads but it might be a good idea to get him over here as soon as the Doggies are eliminated from the NRL comp (assuming it's early enough for him to contribute to our play-off games).

Does anyone know if this is feasible in the context of his contracts / agreements with them and us ?

You conveniently missed the bit where he missed a tackle that led to a try for the other team.

NRL regular season finishes on the first week in September. Super League the 2nd/3rd week.

Must admit I wondered if GH's master plan involved Eastwood appearing for the tail end of our campaign.....

There's a signing deadline these days isn't there? Brought in after the likes of Morley and Johns came over at the tail end of the season.

Fair point - but I guess it depends on whether he's classed as already having signed with us or not.

I thought it was a rule against short term loan agreements at the end of the season. Could be wrong though.

Correct. Eastwood won't be at Leeds (even if he wins his Visa appeal) anytime before 2010. IMO.

Hopefully he will get himself in a bit of condition at the Bulldogs.



Does he have his playing contract lodged at the RFL?

No, well there's your answer.

There was talk of him being "on loan" over in Aus wasn't there. If thats the case surely leeds can recall him from that loan once his Visa is here. Would have been a very shrewd move if so.......

Also with him being signed already (if thats happened) the deadline may not apply?

All thories and wishful thinking obviously
