I wouldn't have thought so, they need to make a decision anyway. I also can't see how Warrington are going to be able to blow us out of the water wage wise, unlike Bath.

Exactly. Which makes you realise what a non-story it is to start with.

A big name is lined up for 2012 at Wire to replace Briers taking Kings place on the quota.

The same Warrington that released a statement saying they weren't looking to sign JM, that then released Hicks and signed him on a 12 month contract only a few weeks later ?

Re: EASTMOND TO UNION : Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:20 pm  

I can`t see Eastmond joining us to be honest because we must be fairly close to the salary cap, the only way i could see it happening is if we released a player.

As an example, if Saints were to release Eastmond you would need a quality replacement, i guess we could do a player exchange with you where you get someone like Jon Clarke with Eastmond coming the other way plus cash, i`m not sure what the difference is that you would have to pay us but that could be sorted out. You`d be getting a Great Britain international, we would just be getting a raw prospect.

He's probably as likely to talk to Wire as to any club if he doesn't go to Union and decides against Saints. Last time we had this fiasco with Kyle he ended up saying how he really wanted to play for Saints, etc, etc, once he had signed his deal. I'm sure Warrington were mentioned back then, too.

I hope Saints manage to sort out everyone's deal before the season starts as it's a bit unsettling going into a new season wondering whether a number of our best players actually want to play for Saints. But I suppose these things cannot be rushed.

If Kyle does decide to go to Union/A N Other RL club then I hope he is dropped for a goodly amount of matches and Simmons focuses on developing our other halfback talent.
