a doubt for saturday news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 037764.stm

I'm genuinely shocked to hear that!



He's been a doubt for the last three or four games right up until kick off, started, played for 20 minutes then hobbled off

I hope he plays.

But for how long?

Precisely. The lad is evidently not 100% fit and it would just be a weak-link in defence for us to target IMO.

Is it worth the risk seeing as it is the final?

Ginger bread mon Kyle Eastmond, if he plays I would have Joel running at him all game.

No its not if he has to go off in the first 10min its 1 sub down all game he did not look right last week if i was potter i would not risk him.

Heart of a mouse.

He'll be playing.

It's a massive risk to take.

Id he limps off early doors, they have to play the rest of the game with 3 substitutes, probably involves shunting Wilkin to the halves, meaning one of their bench forwards goes into the pack of 6.

With the way it didn't work for him on Friday, I'd be surprised if Potter plays him.

if i was potter i would defo play him and whilst hes at it stick leon in at 6 too



no to be honnest if he not 100% i will be a huge risk given his injury record this season.

He won't play. It'll be Lomax at 6 and Smith at 7 IMO.

Doesnt need to,he'll just kick him when he's on the floor.

Kick him - dont be stoopid!!!

Joel will just need to look at him and his ankle will give way

Didn't think Lomax would be fit? You're better informed than me though I imagine

He won't be playing saturday so matty smith will be scrumhalf.

potter says on sky sports press confrence eastmond going for a scan so a major doubt and lomax has a better chance than eastmond
either way good for us either a player on first game back or someone 70%

Think Lomax was due to play in the 20s on Saturday but pulled out after Kyle got hurt on Friday.

Personally, I would have given him the game time if fit.

I wouldn't risk him if I were them, no more than we shouldn't risk playing Roberts.

I worry that Kyle has not got the body for RL.

I dread to think how much development he has missed out on through being on the sidelines

I would love a fully fit eastmond to be playing for you men.

They always say "you only hate the good ones", but he seems like a genuinely nice young lad and so it is hard to dislike him.

If you had all your wingers out injured, you'd probably be tempted to play Roberts . . . .

Possibly, certainly won't break into an in-form Richards & Goulding partnership this weekend. But if we were missing then maybe, however I believe Phelps played well last weekend in the U20's GF, then there's always Pryce, so you would have to trust the coaches choice.

Pryce and Charnley

From a Saints player, Lomax is playing, Eastmond out, Smith or Wilkin the other half back.
