The eastwood signing will be completed once the rule's on driving offence's has been adjusted and his appeal goes through! H-T-H.

Why's Mr Hevwington approving the Eastwood signing then? Thought he was against signing players with offences.

Well he made several comments in the press on how Bird would be a bad signing to make and a bad example to players, supporters and other clubs. But obviously Gawwy thinks that there's rules for 13 clubs in SL then a seperate one for Leeds.

The comments were made about signing players banned from the NRL, as several reports have said Bird is/was. It was never about signing players who had, or were the subject of, criminal convictions.

Oh, ok. I admit, my mistake. I just though he said it about players with convictions. Tbh I didn't look too much into the Bird signing as I thought it would have had a negative impact on the club anyway.

On the second point, I agree with you.

On the first point, I don't think even Uncle Gary would have the brass neck to suggest players with criminal convictions shouldn't be allowed to play for clubs, given our recent past with 2 very high profile players.
