I heard that Kyle has sacked his agent and got a new one and that he doesnt want to leave for RU.

I think he will stay. But i am open to him proving me wrong.

Can you expand on that at all?

I think thats key 'when fit'.

Eastmond is a brilliant player, one which we'd all love to see playing alongside Tomkins in the halves for England but given his current injury record, could we honestly say if he left Saints/England/RL would miss him? IMO thats arguable, considering the amount of games he missed last season.

People are forgetting behind every first team SL player is a talented youth raring and ready to go. Saints, Wigan, Leeds - just about any club could have the next 'Kyle Eastmond'. For me it wouldn't be such a huge loss as people presume.

IMO it would be a huge loss to our game.
The game can't afford to lose a substantial talent like Kyle's.
The RFL have to do something about the state of our game or we will eventually be completely swallowed up by the union juggernaut.

As someone who enjoys both league and union,I'm still struggling to see where he would play at union.His greatest asset is his broken play running,but essentially,unless you make a clean break at union,if you get caught in possession,you tend to give away a penalty at the breakdown.
He certainly couldn't play 9 or 10,not inside centre,but possibly outside centre and even allowing for Jason Robinson,his size will go against him on the wings or at 15.Essentially,he is made for league and would be a huge risk at union unless he changes his game drastically,which would then take away his strengths

Word on the street is that Kyle is busy parading himself around on Union shopping trips and rubbing Saints' noses in it while they are paying his wages. http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/rugby_union/s/1406946_sale_sharks_offer_kyle_eastmond_home_comforts?rss=yes&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RugbyUnion-Sport-ManchesterEveningNews-RssFeed+%28Rugby+union+-+Sport+-+Manchester+Evening+News+-+RSS+Feed%29 The guy is still contracted to Saints and a week before the start of the season this is a bit off IMO.
