Hmm... Around 80,000 male students in Leeds don't seem to have that problem each year.

I'm not buying it.

You. Suggest. Who do you think listens to you on here?

Weak Bladder. Tiny Tears.

McLennan explained that when he and other antipodeans came to Leeds they could go to their rented homes of an evening to their families where as the poor lamb doesn't have that.

I'm also not buying it, there has got to be more than that although why the secrecy I don't know.

If there is no more to it than that then he will forever go down in RL history as the player who gave up a career because he missed his mummy.

Delaney seems to be having no problem either and he's in the exact same position. Although I'm not sure he's all there



I'm with Wheelio and Mac with not buying it.

Hes got Luke Burgess to look after him

I suggest you put up or STFU.

How's that sound?

I think that is the crux of the matter and the homesickness is a smokescreen

There were rumours flying around at the time suggesting Eastwood would prefer to stay at the doggies if he/they could get him out of his Leeds contract. I think that is where his heart is and that is where he will end up.

This homesickness poop is an excuse to try and get him out of his contract. He/his agent were probably hoping GH would just rip up his contract and allow the big girls blouse to return to the Bulldogs.

Good on GH for trying to take a firm stance but I suspect that unless a player swap can be agreed that Excusewood will end up going for next to nothing.

I hope we are not looking at taking Andrew Ryan in exchange. He's been a good solid player but is now at the end of his career whereas Excusewood has yet to reach his peak.

I've watched the doggies the last couple of weeks on MSK and Ryan seems a solid,if unspectacular 80 minute player who does his fare share of tackling but hasn't stood out in the TV games i've seen If/when he does come lets hope he does a Furner.

Yada...yada....yada. I've just wasted 10 mins of my life reading some of the nonsense on here.

When that rugby union failure was thrown a life line by GH due to our injury situation, one of the reasons quoted by Smithy was, he couldn't settle and missed his family! He was 2 hours down the road FFS! And yet, the same muppets slagging off Eastwood are the ones who were getting all orgasmic at Smith's return to HQ!

Window licking banjo playing s the lot of them.

Eastwood will be a big loss to Leeds. Players of his ability and age are hard to find, and GH will have his work cut out to bring in a suitable replacement. A hard hitting prop is also a must, as Peacock cannot be expected to maintain his current workload for much longer.

Best post on the thread by plenty .

Hopefully their unsettling tactics come back to bite them and he ends up at another NRL club. Good to see GH playing with the Bulldogs on this one.

The games are afoot and GH is just the man to handle this.

Thanks fook for that.

Im as disappointed as anybody over Eastwoods transfer request. A bit of me does feel a little bit annoyed because Leeds showed a lot of faith and commitment getting him over here. We went a full season a man short because of him.

HOWEVER I'm not fickle barsteward with some blue and amber tinted glasses on either. I fully understand Eastwoods situation. IMO, as already speculated, he never wanted to come over here after his spell with the Bulldogs. He made a career judgement like we all do and he got it wrong. Everyone makes mistakes in life and has regrets, I doubt Eastwood will regret all this but because he would have learnt a lot about himself. But at the same time he would acknowledge this was a mistake. Put yourself in his shoes ffs, he is in a foreign country with no family, because of his injuries he has had sit on his backside bored $hitless instead of bonding with the lads, training on his own.

Smithy was only down the M1, but no we we're glad to see him back wasn't we. He aint a soft c0ck is he?

What is it?

We do. He's a mouthy gobe who:

a) lied to immigration about previous "problems"
b) lied to the club about previous "problems" and indicated they were purely driving offences
c) pished off numerous senior players and put a divide in the coaching team
d) beefed because, despite being paid a fair whack, invested in and being stood by, has been an absolute soft c0ck when it comes to it. The guy is living in Leeds, not 'kin Iraq. He should man up and get to grips with playing footy then enjoy 2 months off season at with his "family" at home as a singleton.
e) is he the only overseas player EVER to get homesick/pu5sy whipped?
f) To address some other posters point, cannot/should not be "released" to suit his narrative.

Caveat being, get on with it Greg, you are a highly paid sportsman who is smokescreening because you have bottled it at 24 years old. Puss.



He has a weak bladder only solved in Sydney?

So you don't even know his situation never mind understand it.

Thanks for confirmation.

I'd wager that 'Smithy' never wanted to leave in the first place. He was just a softc0ck who was so under the thumb that he began developing a bald patch on his head. Thats the difference.

Can you back all those allegations up?

As for (e) your not much of a Rugby League fan are you?
Just this season alone your forgetting Tronc at Wakefield...he was over here with his family and only last 2 months.

Its heavily rumoured in the Aussie press (just as much as Eastwood was) that Matt Orford wants to return home after been unstettled. I suppose Orford is a soft c0ck too? And I suppose you will line Eastwood, Tronc and Orford up and say to tell that to there faces would you?

A. Being.
B. Yes Orford is a softc0ck too.
C. Yes I would.

Did you not read the post? Did I not go on to say 'he is in a foreign country with no family, because of his injuries he has had sit on his backside bored $hitless instead of bonding with the lads, training on his own'

It's up there with 'Snerging'...
