I guess this means that my tongue in cheek comments re SBW won't now come to fruition. http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,865 ... 17,00.html

He's not "on loan" anywhere. He's not contracted to Leeds, we don't have him registered with the RFL so we couldn't loan him.

He's signed for tbe Bulldogs with an option exercisable on his behalf to become a Leeds player on 1 December 2009 subject to obtaining visa clearance. It's quite possible that even if he gets a visa he can still refuse to take up that option and remain in the NRL, with the Bulldogs or anyone else.

So if a genuine statement from Mr H then its spin doctoring at its best (or worst), or do we file under cr@p reporting from the gurus at Radio Leeds ?

Bulldogs recruit Greg Eastwood has denied he's overweight and is ready to play

Why did Lee "head for that burger van" Crooks pop into my head when I looked at that?

No idea, but it does suggest that there is a contract in place between the player and Leeds contrary to some of the opinions voiced above.

There was alledgedly a contract in place with Tansey also, but he is playing over there.

1 try, 1 pass and a couple of missed tackles, including one that cost a try.

Indeed. The missed tackle was right under the sticks too. Lovely pass to set up the try thought. Really looked knackered after a few minutes, very slow to get back the ten. Could but it down to lack of match fitness due to the visa mess. But he really could do with losing a bit of weight!
