Well, I hope you're right.

Don't forget Kyle had a big impact on where we finished in the table with his contribution to the first half of the season. Without him we have no kicking game, and I can't see us winning anything in such a competitive looking competition without a kicking game.

Don't forget that Wilkin is a very competent in game kicker when he has the responsibility.

Heard a whisper Luke Gale could be going to you for 2012.

Can anyone find any sort of confirmation of Kyles departure? Because I can't.
Is this an early April fools joke?

He isn't. He had one very good game a few years back, every other time he's been at half back his kicking game has been average at best. He's ok as a third kicker in the pack, but he's not a half back. Anderson trained all that out of him years ago.

I'd be surprised at that, he's yet to convince he's really SL standard at Quins.

Hes average at best.
Everybody remembers that one game against Leeds. He hasn't got remotely anywhere near that level since.

Wilkin isn't a good enough kicker to take the main responsibility IMO.

Eastmond's been going for ages so it's no big deal to me any more, I'm interested to see whether he leaves now or later though - surely we have to keep him until the end of the season?

We don't have a good kicking game with or without Eastmond, especially out of our oen half. We have to go to Australia for our next 7 IMO, unless there's another gem in the academy.
