Times like these for Saints are a blessing in disguise, especially for fans. It makes winning or achieving something much more special when it does happen.

You really do have a major downer on Saints, did you get sacked from there once? The stadium is not going up quick enough, we shouldn't sign players, we should have stayed at KR and lost £8m funding for the new ground, Eastmond didn't sign despite being offered a large contract, Graham hasn't signed despite being offered a contract. You almost seem to have an agenda against the club and current owner.

You are Mal Kay and I claim my five pounds.

I,ve just seen Benji Marshall come out of the Chipmunk in Fingerpost and asking where the city of Widnes was.

Peronally there should not have been any discussion with Long and smith until Eastmonds future was settled.

Where Long was concerned, it was settled, in that Kyle signed for two years, the second of which was last season. A club can't keep holding on to its players just in case the one it really wants decides to leave! Kyle wanted the no.7 jersey and he got it. The club couldn't have done more. It appears to me that they have been taken for a ride by Kyle and/or his agent, and personally Kyle would have no-one but himself to blame if he ended up fired and without any income until his contract with Bath starts. (Assuming they don't want him earlier)

Smith was a difficult one because Saints didn't appear to want him full stop. After all, when Kyle signed at 7, if Saints had been interested in Smith then surely they would have signed him instead? I don't think Smith would ever have been signed by Saints, and Smith did what was best for him in signing for Salford.

James Graham really should make up his mind soon. He hasn't played well this season and maybe that is because he hasn't had his mind on the job either.

Maybe because Graham not been fit the last two games hes been our best forward

How do we "let Eastmond go" when he has a contract and Bath don't want him yet?

McManus isn't daft, he knows all these things, but he has to deal in reality rather than theory.

Ooh, that's a good question. How could we do that?

Suspending him for a disciplinary offence would be a good first step though

Re: Eastmond suspened by Saints : Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:27 pm  

It appears that Kyle is desperate to get away asap and the club are hell bent on getting shut asap.Shame the parties concerned couldn't have got together and come to an amicable and mutually satisfactory arrangement.Very sad end to the whole sorry saga.

We simply don't know that is the case though. Anything could have happened. Kyle could genuinely have done something wrong. No one is even considering that as a possibility, everyone is convinced it's because we want to get rid of him.
