Today's Times reports he walked out on Bath at half time of their recent game at Sale. Reported to have had said he's had enough of union and wants to return to league.

Which clubs, in addition to Salford, are likely to be interested if it really is on the cards?

I would imagine Hull FC are desperate for a half decent HB, can't see Wire going for him even with the Briers retirement, if they do then that's GO'Bs Wire career certainly finished.

Anywhere as long as he's back in the game.

Love to see him at Hull.

That's the thing with RU. About 200,000 play the game in this country - but only 15 can play for England at any one time.

Now RU is professional, it's time to see their player pool, especially at the younger ages, being our player pool as well (in addition to those that play RL at community level). Now RU is professional (and teaches touch rugby under RL laws) RL in this country should be less coy about offering opportunities to play RL to young athletes who happen to have started in RU. There will be 10's of thousands of young players who can run, pass, tackle and kick who are really (if they only they had the opportunity to realise it) more cut out for RL than RU.

Every professional club should gear up to offer free season tickets to registered and bone fide playing members (juniors as well as open age) of all amateur RL and RU clubs in their areas.

I'd take him at wigan, arguably the most naturally gifted player of his generation. Take him as a fb not a half back though.

Seems kockrash already making a play for him.

God I hope not, can't bear his attitude. Hope when he returns the refs stop him back chatting like he did before he left Saints.

He seems a well balanced lad, has a chip on both shoulders.

Yeah he's the exact quality clubs shouldn't want.

If Salford are after him would he be earmarked for the full back role?

Half back options are filled.

He might be loaded with talent but he has attitude and very clearly a lack of professionalism about him. What's the chance he doesn't get his way and does the same at his next RL club?

Could never understand him going to union, in league at 7 he touched the ball maybe twice every set of 6.
In union playing at 12, he would have touched the ball twice a game if lucky.

Bath confirmed he has been disciplined for walker out.

Always come crawling back eventually

Koucash's tweets are slightly or the cringeworthy side today

I think he saw himself going the way of Jason Robinson, that is becoming the main attacking thrust of the England rah rah team and taking all the fame and adulation and extra money that came with it. Didn't work out as he couldn't emulate Robinson.

He'll be good but he will be hard to manage.

Would welcome him at Hull, he's the exciting player we need, and a household name who will sell tickets

A bit like Chase and Hock.

Maybe that's enough type of players for one club.

Exactly. Although, after watching Hock in his BBC interview his misdemeanors may be down to him being as thick as a plank. I do hope there are no open flames at the ground and he isn't asked to put his feckin hand in the fire cos he probably would.

As previously said he was the second most gifted British rugby league player of a generation, but he has a bad attitude and is injured quite a lot.

Despite the assumption on this board, that league players should walk into union teams, it is difficult for players to switch successfully. Some basic skills are transferrable but the games are very different. Kyle Eastmond has the skills to be a great success at either code but always gives the impression that his head will, sooner or later, let him down.
When I see Joel T playing for England RU he really doesn't look like a union player. When he gets near a breakdown he looks like a twelve year old just starting out, but he is always trying. Attitude is everything. Eastmond, on the other hand, has a history now of walking away leaving a bad smell. He could be great in union but has fallen behind half a dozen other players who all look the part.
I would like to see him back in league but think that, like Jason Robinson, he really needs a Tiagumala (sorry for the spelling) to guide him.

Harris and Smith were never the same when they came back, would Eastmond be any different.

Harris especially was a talented player, but his 2nd stint in league was average.

Apparently vs Worcester this month he didn't touch the ball once in a full game.

Union is as different to league as it is to Nfl. Lots of sports have football in the name but are very different, the two codes of rugby share a common ancestry and not much else. Time to stop referring to them as two codes and start calling them two sports .
Hope when he comes back he is used as a lesson to any other player thinking of switching again.

YEAH....because there's a massive list of failed code switchers either way............not like the 2 tries in the 2003 RWC final were scored by switchers is it



Eastmond needs an attitude transplant....he went for the money thinking RWC 2015 beckoned....he has come up short and now will have to work hard to get back to where he was.
Why isn't London Broncos an option on the list BTW......we have room on the cap, that's for sure

We could have added Featherstone i suppose

Not sure Wire would go for him, surprised people think so.
