He hates Saints and gave their fans the bird, so that makes him alright in my book..... Lol..

Assuming he turns up super fit and strong (I bet he doesn't),how long till he's good enough to start a match for us? 6/7 weeks?

Myler, Briscoe, Hurrell, Sutcliffe, Handley, Eastmond, Gale, Mik, Leeming, Tet, Mellor, Martin, Prior; Holroyd, Smith, Dwyer, King... starting to look something like this year.

Some real strike there actuallly.

Add Harry to come in we certainly have some strike players as you say.

nothing up this sleeve , nothing up that sleeve , look here's an eastmond --- smoke an mirrors signing

You Tube clip of him is really good. No idea when the clips were from, but he showed some great stuff in union... Should make a dangerous half.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H967D_opLRU

No player ever comes back from that code as good as when they left. None.

Eastmond is a gamble like Gale was, but if it works out it’ll be golden.

It’s also about the intent of the club isn’t it? Fringe England players, Prior, Tetevano, Eastmond - we’re starting to bring a couple of names in again. These experienced players are what the young lads need to see. Mik and Tommy having Tetevano has got to bring them on you would think.

Can’t see how Lui gets a new deal for 22 now unless he pulls up trees or Kyle is a flop.

Definitely a risky signing but, in the circumstances, makes lots of sense. Could even pivot us into being contenders this year TBH. Injuries allowing.

Unless he's injured or abysmal in preseason Thompson gets in to our squad far more often than not.

Yes probably. Interested to see how Mellor responds this year; I expect Martin is safe but King, Thompson, Donaldson and even Walters vying for a back row spot too. Unless they push King up to front row. No idea until I see him play.

When McLelland and Lui are fit, now we have 4 halves plus whoever might be coming through the system: much healthier position.

Be interesting to see where Eastmond plays.
If and when he gets fully fit, I could see him at full back.
More pace and strike than Myler.
Myler was only ever a stop gap, not a solution for a full season.
Eastmond maybe signed with FB in mind, knowing Walker out for the season.

would be more interesting if we were getting tompkins from r.u

Wakefield fan in peace -
Be interesting to see how he goes - on face of it - 31 year old , hasn’t played more than a few games a season in past few years, can’t get a paying gig in ru which is generally less physical than league, returning players generally haven’t achieved much.

Can’t really see him as anything other than a temporary fix - but he was quality 6 years ago so perhaps he could still find a bit of spark. Looking at your injury problems if fit he’s going to get his chance

'A damp tampon of a club'! I presume that poster has a fever due to covid. On a serious note if roles were reversed I'm not sure we'd be much better.
