Not sure Lilley has all the skills really. He's ok at championship level.

Agar is certainly not managing our expectations in terms of Eastmond. Very complimentary about him Leeds Live piece this morning.

Extremely complimentary! Looking forward to seeing him

get a stand ticket you can sit next to him

Did they not consult you on the medical, Doc? Maybe next time.

hope i'm as wrong as gale injury wise but just can't think of anyone returning from union and being any good

Yep, I think that has historically been the case, but as much as it pains me to say it, union has taken great strides in terms of fitness and skill where as super league (relatively speaking) has stood still. Not sure there is such a massive gap nowadays. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Good grief.

Well lets hope it works with Eastmond. Its a risk but if it works out could really improve the team. With Lui out it was a risk worth taking i think.

The 6 again rule has made it even harder still - no union player could cope with the non-stop levels of aerobic fitness required for a game under the current rules.

Yes, it takes magnificently conditioned athletes like Robert Lui to do that. Eastmond does not look out of shape to me. Might take him a few weeks but I suspect he'll get there.

Really come on there would be loads of Union backs who would be great in League and I don't think it would take long to adapt.

Lomax is slow but is probably the best 6 in SL

Well.....

Well that went well.

At least he's quit rather than us carry him for 2 years.
