or

depends who lodged appeal but on both the time estimates are minimums

Un-named centre player that we are meant to be after from the NRL.
Could be anyone, I know, but thats something that been mentioned.
I thought maybe the Titans lad who is wanting SL rugby.. Chris Walker? Dont know though.

Pritchard being mentioned once again.

Cant see us doing alot of recruitment to be honest.

Whos left OOC now? Gibson and Worrall?

www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html North Queensland Cowboys prop Shane Tronc is coming to super league next season, i hope we get him but i cant see it. He's having a great season with the Cowboys and has been mentioned for a possible call up to the Queensland side for Origin III as a replacement for the injured Hannant and Civoniceva.

Walker's a grade a pillock, so I hope he doesn't sign for Leeds. He's also - whatever anyone might say - an out-and-out winger, with a handful of games in other positions over a long career (albeit interrupted by injury and his own stupidity).

& ablett

I am sure there is many in the game that would class Senior has a grade a pillock too. Would we be happier without him? would we balls.

Not that I am saying we should sign Walker.

in my opinion Leeds should have ended it when his visa was rejected. It's a distraction and effort could be better spent elsewhere.

I've checked the NRL website and all the centres have names!

So when Hetherington said 16 weeks, he was looking at the wrong point of the procedures. Infact he has shown with regards this issue a lack of knowledge of the whole process he has got into.

or he was being an overly optimistic fool who thought an embassy employee would change their mind/admit they were wrong

sounds about right, goes along with the rest of his recruitment policy of lose international players and hope we will be fine without replacing them

The policy seems to be working fine with 3 titles in 5 years.

I would suggest he is being advised by the club's solicitors, who in turn may well be taking advice from immigration specialists if they're not experienced in this area.

I wouldn't expect some of the CEOs/MDs of our clients to know how to put together their own accounts or complete their tax return, so I've no reason to assume GH sets himself up as an expert on immigration law.

Read an interview with Eastwood in RLW in which he says they find out on 12th August. Reading the interview it sounds very much as if he'd prefer to stay with the Dogs.

Maybe best for both parties, lets move on, could understand if it was a 25 year old gordon tallis, don't need another sub, need a furner or glanville. 80 mins of dependency.

Hock?

A delaying tactic on behalf of GH? He's a businessman and he's saved on the wage bill for Eastwood whilst the fans are left waiting with a will he/wont he join us maybe/sometime/never.

By time the eastwood situation is resolved hock will have served his time!

Erm... i doubt it. doesn't make any sense to.

And Ryan hall will be playing his testermonial...

I hope Eastwood stays with the Dogs TBH. He's not a great player anyway and he starts on the bench every week and plays 40-50 minutes, we've already got Ali doing that.
I wouldn't mind Pritchard but he does seem to pick up quite a few injuries, and i just hope GH has something lined up for if Eastwood doesn't come to us.
