Donald's going and Eastwood's probably on his way too.

Surely Webb and Buderus only have a year left max and with Kylie's injuries he can't have too long a career left at Leeds.

So who do you think we should be targeting to bring in as replacements or to bolster other positions we're weaker at?

What are Kylies injuries you allude to?

Kylie Lauitiiti has had some issues but Ali Leuluai has proven pretty durable.

Well he told the Yorkshire Post in the run up to the CC Final that he's been playing with injections for most of this season to get through the games and has missed at least 6 or 7 entirely. That would suggest to me, taking his age into account as well, that he might be might be in the latter stages of his Leeds career. And yes, thanks, I forgot to even mention Lautiti, but that only goes to prove my point further.

Kylie is also 32 (I think) which isn't good.

As for replacements, it depends if you want to go internal or external.

There is already a thread about Webb V. BJB and I think BJB is the natural replacement for Webb.

There is also a thread about McShane and I think he can step into Buderus's shoes with Diskin switching back to the starting hooker.

Personally I like Ambler and while he is different to Kylie I think he will mature into a very hardworking prop.

That is the good thing about Leeds, we do have some good youngsters who despite their age have had quite a bit of first team time. You've also got Amor and Pitts. Not ready yet but still young. And of course, there is Watkins.

It'll be interesting to see who is brought in. Fielden re signed by Wigan so that's him ruled out. I'm lost as to who will be brought in....

IF he stays which from what i've been told is a zero possibillity he's a lot of making up to do to some of his team-mates mate.

I agree, I've thought all along that Hetherington is calling Eastwoods bluff with the big transfer fee, I wont be in the least surprised if he is still with us next year.

Can't see any NRL club being so desperate for Eastwood's services that they'll pay anything remotely close to the figure being mentioned. In my view the onus is now on Eastwood to buy himself OOC - which I don't see happening.

Or a player swap.....

Yep, that surely has to be GH's plan as you normally see players released not put up for sale... and I think GH's plan is spot on. He is one very good business man as the Bulls will vouch .
