The RU season ends in May. They will start pre season July / August and I would think that is when Eastmond may be released from his Saints contract.

I hope so, so we can prepare for next season by trying other options at 7.

Do you think the SC is stringently policed in RU?

I believe it's voluntary.

A bit like Warrington's view of the salary cap then?

By the time Kyle has learnt how to play the game the union season will be over.

How long does it take to learn how to pile on?

it wont be like when jason robinson went and union was only just professional, and they were amazed by his fitness and skill, imo kyles got a tough test ahead of him

Almost identical to the Chris Ashton situation

Its hard to deny the old chap has a point though, its virtually identical, and i can see a similar result come August

He does have a point, it's similiar.

The only real difference is that Ashton was marginalised at Wigan, first by the club bringing Radlinski back and then by Noble signing Withers with the reports at the time stating he was expected to replace Ashton.

We on the other hand showed that we were prepared to back Eastmond by letting Long go and then by giving him the number 7 shirt.
