How has he been at Bath with injuries.
If he can stay on the field any team would want him.
Seems to have cleared up.
Kyle didn't act in the best way after he'd decided to go and was deservedly dropped to the reserves, but you may remember there was a couple of games later in he season where Wello was injured and Eastmond came in at fullback. He looked good and the overall threat of the team was upped tremendously, but as soon as Wello was back, Eastmond was (rightly or wrongly) shoved back into the reserves. That was a chance for Eastmond to leave on a good note, but the club took it away from him.
Life's too short to hold grudges. Eastmond had more natural talent for RL than anyone we've seen in the last 10 years, including Mr Tomkins and, whilst you may want to criticise his attitude, a return to a loving Saints fold may teach the lad a touch of humility.
There's also the fact that now RL has as bigger golden carrot as RU, in the NRL gold rush. If halfbacks like Dobson are picking up NRL gigs, there's definitely possibilities for Eastmond to join them in the sun.
Come back, he'll improve our team massively, even if he has lost a bit of edge by playing a slower sport.
