If all avenues regards a halfback for next year to replace Leuluai close I wouldn't be suprised to see us make a move for 2013 if things don't pick up for him. He's obviously got a lot of talent but you have to wonder about his attitude.

I doubt Saints would ever want him back but other clubs may be prepared to take a punt.

Possibly ,but rotting in the union reserves will do nothing for his game craft or skill levels and those injuries could take the edge off his pace/agility. There is a risk that if he fails in union he could end up pretty much finished.

His talent is unquestionable. However his attitude is (was) terrible.

He could be our (or your) sean long, bad attitude at his first club, but becomes a hero at their rivals

Re: Kyle Eastmond : Thu May 03, 2012 9:08 pm  

I saw him play a game for Bath wouldn`t pass the ball, went out wide to avoid any hard work, spat dummy out when crowd booed him, gave hidden gestures to the crowd then walked off without clapping the paying public, oh no that was when he played for us Nah good luck to the lad never hold a grudge

You never know. It's a shame if his talent gets wasted, but he won't be the first and probably not the last. Sadly talent and the right attitude very often don't come in the same package.

I know. I'm NEVER given enough respect on here in spite of my posts being far better than everyone elses.

He came on as a blood replacement, 2 or 3 weeks back and apparantly, had a really impressive ten minute 'cameo'. The main consensus from their fans was that they thought he had done enough to get more game time and were disappointed when he didn't.

Such a pity. How is Tomkins doing?

Tomkins had a great debut and scored a brace in the LV Cup, I've seen him play 2 league matches one he started and the other from the bench and he was ineffective spilled the ball and generally didn't do much at all. I've seen Kyle play once he was stood out on the wing looking enthusiastic calling for the ball but a punch of 20+ stone men picked up the ball made a total of 2 inches and repeated until they knocked on. He later fumbles a high ball and that was his total involvement. I honestly think the grass is only greener for them in financial terms but both the recent converts look a million miles away from club rugby they can forget about Twickenham and the Lions for now.

I would take Eastmond at Wigan he was an exceptional talent and would be a great replacement for Tommy.

There will be an ex RL to RU player back in RL at Wigan next season.
