You'll be stuffed without him

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 4:49 pm  

From the Bath supporters website:

His wikipedia page says he's 5 foot 6, and 11st 11. Giteau is 5'10 and 13st 5, Cooper 6'1 and 14st - so he's definitely a lot smaller. Having said that, the wiki page also says his nicknames are 'money grabber' and traitor', so perhaps take it all with a pinch of salt.

Seeing as Wheeler is injured again, can we risk using him as the full time 7 if Eastmond does go?

Does it say this on the Saints site? He did limp a bit at one point on Saturday. But then again, players were being felled left, right and centre.

A Lomax/Wheeler rotation would likely be the only course of action, with the young guy whatsisname coming on whenever he is fit (which he isn't at present).

That hardly narrows down the options at Saints!!

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 5:35 pm  

On Kyle Eastmond's twitter he posted "Chris Ashtons Englands top man no question...gonna break records that lad!!" (which has already been mentioned, I know). The interesting thing though is Scott Moore replied saying "till next year!", presumably implying that Kyle's going to be England's new top man!

1 game in and it's the same old crap. The club have known since the end of last season that Kyle could be going.

It was on the official Saints Twitter feed following the press conference. Muscle tear iirc.
