Life is pretty average but every now and again something spectacular happens. You’ve got to go through the average times to really appreciate the spectacular moments.

Quote: BillyRhino "Eeerm, perhaps my hairy handed friend you should take less note of the Clampetts on here.....



"At the time, I signed my new contract, I was fully committed to the club but things have moved quickly in the last few weeks and I need to make sure that I take the options that are available to me at present because you never know whether they will be there in the future."


I've no great problem with him going back to OZ. Life is about family and making decisions, and that must be where his priorities lie. And as a bonus it'll free up a salary cap space.

Yes, but Eastwood hasn't been a part of the Rhinos Family for long enough to have acquired a cringingly fawning and sweet-scented nomenclature like Scotty, Sinny, Mags, Keef, TMFMISL, etc, therefore the same rules do no apply icon_smile.gif

I like the Clampett's reference BTW. Be careful though, becuase there's a family of Rhinos ts lurking behind every corner.

Boo!

So IYO Scotty should be given the same treatment as Eastwood? You both keep saying the same sh*t but neither of you have give a reason as to why the circumstances are the same.

Quote: Damo-Leeds "I remember the WCC earlier in the year and we was all saying that if it was Scott Donald on the wing that night he’d taken chances that were bombed by the inexperienced Kallum Watkins. '"


Some might be cruel and suggest his first effort at Castleford last Friday may suggest otherwise, although that for me was a rare occurrence as he became 'only' the third Leeds winger this season to forget the most important part of try-scoring.

__________

Donald was a good acquisition for Leeds at the time but ultimately his antipodean (probably post 2008 off quota) averageness blocked the path to 1st grade opportunities for a couple of Leeds Academy prospects which was a shame, IMO.

If they're promoting from within as the YEP is suggesting then this should free up more cap space for Eastwoods replacement, which is the position that is more vital to fill imo (well either a prop or another back rower)? This will maybe change GH n BC's thoughts on who they can bring in?

BC's thoughts?
Are they relevant?
He's agreed to a one year contract extension.
So what makes you believe he'll still be here next season?
There's a clearout at the club or hadn't you noticed?

Goodbye and good luck, Scotty.
Thank you for all your efforts and the memory of the 07 GF try will not be forgotten by many.

So i guess you've heard the rumour that he might not be here next year then?

Its an hard peer group to please isn’t it?

Since coming back from injury he doesn’t seem the player that he was and the decision to retire at the end of the season is a right one. Still I recon he’s probably got a few more tricks up his sleeve yet before his rugby league career draws curtains.

I heard a rumour about Scott Donald departing at the end of this season BEFORE it was announced he'd agreed to a one year extension. And yes, I am aware of rumours surrounding McClennan's departure during the coming off season. Thank goodness he's AGREED to a one year extension, eh? icon_smile.gif

There's so much spin these days, one can be forgiven for feeling dizzy.

I know it's already been mentioned but that try from the 2007 Grand Final will always live in the memory, top bloke
