I'd love us to go for Louis MS. Bit of an unknown quantity at the moment with bags of potential. But with the likes of Peacock, Kylie, Ali, and still Big baz in the wings he could really turn into an outstanding player. plus he is young and english.

I feel things would have been different if it hadn't been for the injuries. Must be tough not being able to do the thing you both enjoyed and earn your living from.

Shame about Greg
but we should either bring in a powerhouse prop
or bring steve matai in and give senior the number 15 shirt and bring him off the bench or start him at second row

A bit harsh, I don't think that's the case tbh.

That sounds quite an amicable relationship the club have with him.

Is a club in the NRL really going to pay £100k? I doubt it. What happens if nobody does? How low will Leeds accept?

Things can change very quickly. Before the fickle fans postings go overboard on slamming him. Maybe we should see if he actually goes first.

Mate not wishing to get into a pi$$ing contest but that line is fresh coming from our resident "the team are finished" poster fickle or what?

Agreed, he's homesick, but that doesn't mean he has no desire to play for us. When he's been on the field this year he's put in a really good shift.

While I'm pleased Leeds have not just released him for no compensation, i'm not convinced we'll get a substantial transfer fee for him, so might end up with a compromise deal. A player exchange may be on the cards.

Gutted.

Hmm it would seem reading between the lines it isn't all down to the injuries. if its true the Bulldogs really want him back no doubt they will have been tapping him up via his agent. now take into account the number of ex NRL players over here who have said they are homesick, had their contracts torn up and then gone home only to start playing again in the NRL. I think Leeds have realised whats going on here and decided to use a bit of clout.

As I see it Leeds are going to keep hold of his registration and not just rip his contract up meaning we will require a fee. The reason been it looks like GH is not happy about the underhand offers coming from the NRL. Now i maybe wrong but if he really wanted to, GH could hold his registration but not include him in the squad meaning he would still get paid but now count of the cap as he would never be played.

P.s. having thoght again, if Eastwood was indeed on loads of money, bring in Louis MS and turn him into a second rower and then bring back Scruton

Ellis
Mannering

£100K pussy.

Meow.

What about the 'fickle' fan who has already labelled our 2011 season as a write off??????

Hmmmmm

Bit pish poor by Eastwood given the club's support of him through his erroneous chase for a permit and him omiting certain elements that led to his initial refusal. For the club to then continually support him and then as a highly paid, grown man get a little homesick is quite frankly, beans. Man up Greg. It's England not Basra.

Also seems a smart bit of business by GH to place a fairly high value in the current climate on him. Clearly in the hope for a like for like swap with an NRL outfit with someone OOC next year. Sam Thaiday, Jamal Idris, Brent Kite, Adam Blair, Sika Manu, Trent Waterhouse biggest names likely available.

Still, sure certain Rhinos players will be happy with his departure.

LMS has signed for Saints, along with Shenton.

I did warn you on here about Eastwood when you first signed him.
I don't see any Aussie clubs paying £100K for his services.
