What do Rhinos fans in general think is going to happen. Does it look like he's off or staying? Am I right in thinking that Leeds won't have enough of their cap lest to bump up his salary considerably (after some of his amazing performances) but would be a loss to Leeds and RL if he went to Union.

No, we started the season 1 short on the salary cap and with Eastwood not coming we'll be in great shape salary cap wise. I'm sure we could even find space for Sam once he sees sense and follows his brother over here.

We normally have some space left in case 'the right player' comes long mid season, and as we have no Eastwood we should have a pretty big bit of space to play with this year

But will they want to keep that spare in case the Eastwood deal rematerialises into a perfect deal, or if another world class player becomes available?

Not many world class players become available mid season, and if they do it would normally for a bad reason. I'm not sure what's going to happen with Eastwood. What if he likes it at the Bulldogs?

Then you've lost a chance with a great player. But I'm sure when Sam comes you'll be able to use that extra bit of salary cap.

I have to agree with you there.
