Who cares that people think Eastwood's overweight? He has been one of our stand out performers in this early season, always 100% effort putting in big shots and has been one of the only players so far wanting to offload and really get Rhinos back to fast flowing rugby.

What was Donald's unbroken run of appearances?

Before his shoulder reconstruction, 13.

There have been a lot of posts comparing Ellis and Eastwood with Eastwood coming out fav (in a lot of the opinions)

In my opinion Ellis was more consistent and secure when he had the ball in hand, where Eastwood is a bit more forward in both attack and defence. But it's still a bit too early to be making definite comparisons between the two players at this point saying which one is the best.

IMO Even if you think Eastwood is the best you still have to agree that Ellis is a hard act to follow and will by sorely missed by Leeds fans and players.

Ellis was great for leeds and i believe that Beastwood will also be a great aquisition but we won the league without either of them last year and whilst they have undoubted quality maybe they wouldn't be as missed as some would think.
FWIW i think it's only fair to compare them when Beastwood has completed at least the 3 yr deal he currently is signed to.

I completely agree. It's only fair to compare them properly when "Beastwood" (great name) has played for at least a year or two or as you said his 3 yr deal before you can see how he plays properly when he has been in the team for a much longer time and has been playing in Rhinos style for a longer time.

(I have to admit though I am a bit biased because I am a big Ellis fan but am still trying to keep an open mind with Greg to try and be anbiased)
