Quote: BillyRhino "Anybody seen Soprano T or Mrs Harringon?

Perhaps they missed Keef's post in their rush to banjo practice?

Here it's again then...[iKeith is of the opinion that those who launched their stinging rebukes at Eastwood for not wishing to honour his agreed contract ought to be the one's answering the questions. Particularly those who are now so fawning and respectful towards Scott Donald who erm... no longer wishes to honour his agreed contract.[/i

C'mon now guys.... a Davy Crockett hat could be the prize for the best answer!
Hi icon_wave.gif

Please post me a link to my "stinging rebuke" on Eastwood.....I wont hold my breath.

But if you really want to compare Eastwood and Donald's Leeds careers then fair enough.

Donald
5 Years service
143 games
90 trys
1 League leaders shield
1 World club challenge
3 Grand final wins

Eastwood
Maybe 1 years service
15 Games
1 try
0 medals


Eastwood wants to leave Leeds to go and play for another RL club, Donald wants to retire.....RETIRE to secure a career for his young family.

And this one is a pure guess but I'm sure world cup winning Greg would have been on a higher wage than Donald.

Do it mate.

It's called being a supporter.

Enjoy.

Quote: Tony Soprano "Hi
Nail. Head.

I have no particular anger over Eastwood's departure, but his situation isn't really comparable to Donald's.

Donald had a shaky start to 2006 but has gone on to win 3 titles, scoring a sensational try in the first, and scoring the decisive try in the subsequent WCC. He has left memories of some fantastic tries (that special at home to Hull a couple of years ago for example) and seldom let Leeds down defensively.

One goes back to Australia having served the club with distinction, the other, for whatever reason, just goes back to Australia...

Quote: Tony Soprano "TVOC, do you know of any former Leeds wingers who have more medals than Donald?'"

there will be none in the Super League era but I'd hazard a guess than John Atkinson will have a few. Although, if you take out Yorkshire Cups and JPS, Floodlight nines and other such comps that weren't available to Donald there may not be much difference. Though I'd suspect PC John Atkinson would still have more than PC to be Scott Donald.

You think we need to change our routine? It's been working well for a few years, why the wanderlust? Don't go all Andrew Ridgley on me now. We all know I am the George Michael. Actually, not sure if I want to admit that.

Always a pleasure, never a chore.

Well apart from the time we re-inacted 'The' Pulp Fiction scene. I was Butch (of course) you were Wallace.

My jaw has never been the same since.

It is to be hoped the enchantingly memorable, delightful and sensationally exotic Scotty hasn't set a very dangerous precedent for future antipodean chancers looking to wriggle out of lucrative Super League contracts prematurely.

Although significantly better than your usual fare.

Quote: G1 "You think we need to change our routine? '"


No we just need some new material.

I'm getting older by the day and I really shouldn't be wasting any more of my remaining days re-hashing the old schtick when we did it so much better at the time.

Quote: G1 "TVOC, do you know of any former Leeds wingers who have more medals than Donald?'"


Yes but that isn't the issue unless a player, any player, wins them single handedly which would be extremely rare in a team sport such as rugby league. I have therefore, as I think we all do, to measure the players as individuals within the team.

I doubt I had anything less than fulsome praise for Donald until he signed a deal for the 2010 season putting Leeds above the 80:20 home grown, overseas trained target Mr Hetherington had stated was the correct ratio for SL clubs including his own. Making use of an unintended loop hole in the system was something for other clubs to do, perhaps those with inferior Academy structures or prone to short-sighted decision making.

I found that situation dissappointing and the criticism is more one of the club management than with any of the players involved.

Tsk Tsk Swiftcorn, G1 has already pronounced on that topic, when he highlighted that very point regarding Eastwood!

Quote: Keith Swiftcorn "G1 wroteIt also would set a very dangerous precedent for future antipodeans looking to wriggle out of lucrative Super League contracts[/i.'"


Probably just after he opined that Donald had been abysmal in the first half of 2009 icon_eek.gif

And please don't mention lucrative contracts either.....not worth the paper they're written on , according to the Feckwit Massive.....it's the number of tries you've scored whilst hoovering up all that dosh from the aforesaid contracts that is the benchmark! Score lots, and orft you depart, before Contract's end, with rose petals being strewn up the Quantos boarding steps.

Apparently
