Ryan turned down salford because he wants to finish his contract at the doggies, which ends in 2011.

I'll pass. Thanks.

I prefer the filthy, low end, trash.

All in all a bad bit of business by the club really.

Obviously they weren't to know he'd end up bitching and moaning and wanting to return home, but he's been about as good of value for money as Mark O'neill was.

Staranger things have happend, whos to say that after his rehab and a spell back into the first team on a charge for the GF and CC he wont change his mind? He may do, he may not. All in all a very frustrating year for Gregg.

Well he's (Ryan) played pretty much every game this season, but that's about all I can compare him with Eastwood on. Very different styles.

If we do replace Eastwood, and based on the way the likes of Ambler and Clarkson in particular have come on this year that's not a given, then we need an impact player of the bench. It's been mentioned before that we have plenty of grafters, but only one Ali. We need a player who can come off the bench and make things happen, a big hit, an offload, a big run. Eastwood has shown that in glimpses this year, but the frustration for the club is that we haven't had Ali and Eastwood avaible at the same time for any reasonable number of games.

Either that or we bite the bullet and realise that we need a top quality prop in 2012 to replace Kylie, Burgess and possbily even Peacock as he get's ever nearer his bus pass. Sign a top prop for 3 years and let Burgess fulfill his dream of playing in the NRL next year?.

You can't regulate for injuries in a fit, young player like Eastwood. When he's been on the park he's been eye catching. O'Neil was just plain *hit.

he will be lucky if a aussie club will splash out almost $180k for him.

Has the pound dropped that much!

If Eastwood does leave it will be interesting to see who gets the infamously 'lucky' number 15 jersey.



His dad John was a pretty decent centre for Leeds although that was before Jamie was born I guess.

Langley would make an excellent signing but being English may be too expensive for Leeds' tastes unless he is willing to take a pay cut.

I think GH could be calling his bluff with the valuation.

He has played very well and shown no lack of commitment when fit so I think Hetherington is just being smart, we would be very lucky to get someone of Eastwoods age and talent to replace him.

He's indicated a preference not to be here. We waited for his lies to expire when we should have binned him then and now he's over here he's pi55ing the club about again.

There is nobody mroe fickle than you on here.

I didn't ever think that Leeds needed him anyways, so don't think you'll be missing much without him.

We should have gone for Ben Westwood like I said at the time.
