Be interesting to see where Eastmond plays.
If and when he gets fully fit, I could see him at full back.
More pace and strike than Myler.
Myler was only ever a stop gap, not a solution for a full season.
Eastmond maybe signed with FB in mind, knowing Walker out for the season.

Wakefield fan in peace -
Be interesting to see how he goes - on face of it - 31 year old , hasn’t played more than a few games a season in past few years, can’t get a paying gig in ru which is generally less physical than league, returning players generally haven’t achieved much.

Can’t really see him as anything other than a temporary fix - but he was quality 6 years ago so perhaps he could still find a bit of spark. Looking at your injury problems if fit he’s going to get his chance

'A damp tampon of a club'! I presume that poster has a fever due to covid. On a serious note if roles were reversed I'm not sure we'd be much better.

Got to be honest and say I’m surprised how positive the reaction has been on here to him signing. The lad clearly had loads of natural ability before he went to Union but he wasn’t exactly made of stern stuff and missed as many games as he played with various knocks. He’s now the wrong side of 30 and standing with his hands in his Union Shorts pockets for nearly ten years won’t have toughened him up. Add in the general poor record of signings returning from Union (we’d know at Wigan) and it’s an absolute punt IMO.

I think this signing is just down to Sean Long and if he can get anywhere near the form he left with then could be one hell of a surprise signing, Long is the best person to have coaching him too, very excited to see how this plays out

I think quite a few have said its a gamble to be fair.

I think it’s incredibly interesting signing. There’s no guarantee that it will work out, but kudos to the clubs for pulling it off. No doubt it’s a big coup.

I think Kyle has more natural talent than probably anyone in our squad. For those saying union is less physical, I’m not sure I agree. It’s incredibly physical, but in a very different way. It’s more the fitness that would concern me, I think you have to be much fitter in league.

My main concern is his attitude. In his interview, he speaks mostly about himself (maybe not a bad thing). If you listen to Tetevano, he goes on about the history of the club, previous great players, what it means to play for rhinos. I doubt Kyle is excited to play for Leeds anymore than any club willing to give him a contract. Hope I’m wrong, but we’ll have to wait and see.
