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.

Not sure there is such a massive gap nowadays. Guess we'll know soon enough.'"
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 that went well.
At least he's quit rather than us carry him for 2 years.

Fair play to him, he's had a decent career, he could have been one of the best in either code had his body manage to hold up.

Oh dear. Leaves us short and rather embarrassed. Wonder if we’ll pounce for someone mid season... all the best to him but it’s a real shame as he was a talent.

Maybe those Truman rumours have some traction Gale Truman is a real prospect.

Reading the statement it’s nothing to do with injuries he’s just not up for it anymore.. bit embarrassing for the club imo but at least he’s been honest

Well, yeah what do you say to that. His first performances even given his context, were that of a player who was way off the pace. To me this felt written all over it from the early stages. In some ways I’m relieved as we can now have a real concerted effort to bring in a long term solution to a problem area. All the best Kyle.

Can't blame the Club for taking a punt it just hasn't worked out as we'd hoped. I do however expect even more quslity recruitment going forward though.

Was always a risk. Fair play to him for not just milking a salary and admitting hes not enjoying it at Leeds, if thats what has happened.
We need a replacement in the squad. Shouldve loaned Mikey Lewis from KR instead of him going to York maybe? Anyway, we move on.
Good luck to Kyle in the future.
