Signed 2 year deal

Well out of left field but what a signing this is.

Actually shocked. Age aside, a really exciting signing.

As I said earlier on another thread that this was happening

Blimey really didn’t see that coming, he was outstanding at Saints will union have runied him?

Great signing for Leeds and RL.

Really looking forward to next season, think it will be a great season.

I suppose that means Mccleland won't be getting much of a chance, unless Gale is going to be out longer than expected

Madness!! Totally unexpected!

I would've loved him when he was still playing league, as he was great, but no idea if he's still a good prospect.

Has anyone been following him in RU? I only hear about international RU and he never seemed to be picked for England..

He probably should have more England caps, he's a great player, but is very injury prone

I hope he's a success with us ,but I am always wary of former RL players returning from Union. But this signing has cheered me up a bit

Interesting one this.
Clearly the club don’t think McLelland is good enough.
And they don’t see Myler playing in the halves.
Or maybe Eastmond will cover full back?
Really hope he sees more action on the pitch than on the treatment table.

Is he salary cap exempt having come from Union?

Callum will likely play alongside Eastmond with Myler thankfully now free to olay Fullback

Maybe Gale won’t be back for the start and at least we don’t have to rush him back now

I think it`s something like 50% cap reduction on his first year at least.
Most players returning from Union are a shadow of their former self so let`s hope he`s an exception.
It`s a bit worrying that he was injury prone playing Union and is now returning to a more physical sport in League.

I think its a bit of a masterstroke

Partial salary cap exemption.
Lui crocked and realistically its his last year
Walker crocked (who knows how long)

Eastmond and Gale in the halves allows Myler to FB with McClelland backup.

If we need a half for 2022 if Luis leaves - who are you going to spend £££££ on from the NRL or SL (and it would be £££££) - Eastmond makes sense.

Will he still have the X-factor? Who knows but its still a 'high profile' signing.
