Wants to get away from his social circle apparently, which if true, is quite admirable. Good to see him realise this to save his career.

I can't see it being true to be honest. He's under contract for another few years so they would have to do something about that. If Wigan have just let him go, does no one else worry about what Wigan have lined up if they're willing to do that?

It's a worry for Super League as well. Within a few years there will be no top players in our competition. Kyle Eastmond looks an incredible player for Bath now and the likes of Burgess and Jammer are playing well in the NRL and will encourage more signings no doubt.

Sam Tomkins is next, next season will be his last, if he even stays for that. He's been training with Saracens again recently and it can't be long before he makes his decision between the NRL and playing for England at Union.

Eastmond looks an incredible player??? Seriously how many games have you seen him play for Bath??? Or are we talking a few minutes of selected play off You Tube?

I heard he got into a scrap with someone in Wigan (not a player or staff) but that was about two or three months ago.

Yes. He does. He's easily the best young player Super League has produced in the last 10 years. It's a crying shame the sport doesn't have what it takes to keep him on board. He's better than Tomkins and both will be playing Union within the next 12 months.

Never one to shy away from an overstatement Saddened.

I wonder if you'll still hold that opinion if Wigan sign Eastmond as Sam's replacement next season?

You don't need him. You've got Blake Green and Matty Smith.
