Spot on. I said on here when Lee Smith came back to RL that I was glad, even though he always does well against us.

True about Eastmond also, he still has a lot to learn - will he be given the time and the support in Union?

At risk of repeating myself (and others) Offiah isn't Kyles agent and hasn't been since his last contract negotiation.

Spot on.

I thought Kyle did a good job considering he's barely played in the last 8 or 9 months and there was the added pressure on him as he didn't have Leon Pryce alongside him. He'll get alot better in the coming weeks, especially when his future is sorted too, which is a bit distracting also.

I believe that he is being mentored by Ellery Hanley, but that too may just be a fairy tale

or Michael Douglas the greedy little bugger.

Spoke to Eamon in 'The City Inn' on Sat in Cardiff, He said they'd offered as good a deal as possible to Kyle and was hoping he'd stay but the club can't match RU offers for any player
Got the feeling he knew Kyle was going but it was just a feeling, gave nothing away and he'd sunk a few by then!!

Looks like we'll find out this week one way or the other www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480

Quote ="God wears the Red Vee"Looks like we'll find out this week one way or the other www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480'" Yeah, I hope he stays with us but don't want this coming up with him every other season, especially if he doesn't stay (relatively) injury free. Were the two yawnion clubs mentioned chasing him when he suffered his terrible run of injuries last season? It's not his fault but I feel a bit cheated that we have not had the opportunity yet to see him hit top form for a prolonged period

Neil Fissler, the Sunday Express & Rugby Times writer, just tweeted that Eastmond's transfer from ST Helens to Bath has been confirmed.

Ahh well.

Least we now know, He'll be back

Ah well, all the best.

Hopefully he goes straight away, or otherwise avoids a Chris Ashton "pose in the shirt" type situation!

If he has gone, all the best, but go now as FTV says a chris ashton moment wont be good!

It's better for us to know now. I'm sure he will do his best for us for the rest of the season and will want to go out on a high. Such a massive shame to lose a young player to another sport after putting so much into our youth system though, it's a kick in the teeth that the RFL need to sort out before a trickle turns into a stream.

Losing him to the NRL helps Englands chances, even losing him to Wigan is better for our sport as much as it would hurt. Losing him to Union just leaves a bitter taste that is difficult to take.

We definitely need to keep hold of Graham and/or Pryce now.

If he stays until the end of the season I hope the fans are sensible and get behind one of our best players rather than boo him every week.

Can't help but think it will be easier for all concerned if he leaves with immediate effect, as much as I would like to watch a full season of Kyle as our 7.

Not sure as we have no direct replacement for him. If we lost Pryce to injury we'd be buggered in the halves. At least if he went at the end of the year we'd have time to find a replacement. On the other side of the coin, I'd hope if he did go now we'd get a big fee for him to help us fund a new player.

I wonder if he carries on playing this season, opposition fans will boo him everytime he gets the ball, like they did Chris Ashton?

A sad loss to our game.

Don't blame Kyle one little bit, he has done what he considers to be the best for him as an individual and each one of us would do that.

Perhaps not the correct post to be mentioning this but yet again the Salary Cap has contributed to RL losing one of its best young players.

I think it would be best for both sides now if Kyle went sooner than later.

Judging by what I've read, he's going with immediate effect and we will get a hefty transfer fee for him.

The club have been very quiet through all of this speculation. Normally clubs are quick to put out a statement quashing such rumours.

Where have you seen that?

Few twitter posts and it's on Redvee aswell.

If he has signed for Bath RFC or any Union side then I want him to go now.

Get the transfer fee and invest in the 7 shirt if we don't feel what we have currently is of sufficient standard at this point.

He will be missed, I think he is/was destined for great things but you can't knock him for securing his financial affairs out if he's got a megabucks offer.

may slightly offset the losses.

Lots of talk of Chris Ashton on here, seem to recall a fair amount of gloating and jibeing, when he left us....

You are better off without the money grabbing little weasel, he would have only have milked the club for years to come, by threatening to leave, using up all your cap space, meaning you're out-bid whenever someone comes on the market, whilst spending half in the injury room.

Its for the good of the club and well done Big Mac for not beaking the bank for any one player+
