His agent

The clubs are just as bad, would be great if the RFL made public details of how clubs vote for the international games.

The world cup in 2013 should be in july not november, but the clubs won't have a break.

Were are all the people now who wouldn`t believe me when i told you all ages ago he was asking for the same money as Sean Long? Its not a defo with sale just yet, but it looks likely, and fozzard is a definate.

Another kick in the nads for RL if he is.

What would puzzle me is why we would let Matty Smith go to Salfords if we knew there was a chance Eastmond would leave!!

We will be really down on half-backs if that was the case!

Unless they plan to use Roby or Moore in the Halves??

Gary Wheeler, Jamie Ellis, Jonny Lomax

Surely with money saved from alot of players leaving recently could have been used to offer him a nice deal... I mean not sure on player turn around but alot more have left than have joined recently...??

That's why I asked when his contract was up.
I think he may leave at the end of 2010. However if he is definitely going Saints may want to cash their chips in early and get a fee for him, as they will get nothing for him from a Union Club if he goes at the end of his contract.

Are all completely unproven playing at 7 for Saints. A huge gamble to let Eastmond go and let Smith leave for Salford unless we have a signing in the pipeline...if Eastmond to Sale is true.

Dont blame him tbh. Why would he want to stay at our mid table team?

You win some, you lose some.

If he's leaving, good luck to him.

I ain't walking 500 miles, or 500 more, for him any more.

=whiteIn joke a select few will get.

Never knew there were only 3 teams in the Super League if we're "mid-table"

Just as it was catching on

Ahh well, onto Gidley being my centrefold.

I reckon Scott Moore will be our first choice 7 next year regardless of whether Eastmond stays or goes.

Really don't give a toss if Eastomond stays in League or goes to Union. The only place he can see him playing in either code would be on the wing or maybe after a season or two fullback.

At the moment I don't rate him, from what I've seen as a scrum half to be honest. If he was to go in 2010 good luck to him welcome back home Matty Smith.

As has been said above, if he goes i'd play moore at 7 next year then in 2011 moore to 9, smith to 7. I wouldn't be upset with that, Smith did a good job in 2007 when Longy was out

Maybe I've got it wrong, but Eastmond is contracted until the end 2010 season isn't he? Matty Smith on loan at Salford the end of 2010.

I told you all about this months ago. It's been on the cards for years.

More evidence of the pathetic goings on with regards to squad development. The stars leave and the Mr Average clones are given new deals.

Oh well.

I thought you meant that we'd get Smith back for 2010, apologies.

If this was true i'd get Offiah the Fek out of anything to do with Rugby Football League! Sky Sports on Sunday etc etc!

It is believeable but tbh I can't see it just yet!

I've tried to search on RU forums, but there seems no mention on there. Hopefully it isn't true though, he's starting to show some true class.

Offiah works for Kyle - if Kyle wants to sign a deal on the table he will, if he wants too much cash or to go to union, he'll do that.

Offiah is a smokescreen, the decision is Kyle's.
