on loan til the end of the season, saints don't look to be wanting him!

Gutted

why sign someone who doesn't want to play the sport?

no matter how experienced they are

how can u say one of best 7s in the english sport is a silly signing for us :L

it would be good if he didn't want to play union!

ye i agree but still he can kick goals, organise us and add that extra bit of spark, something weve been lacking

So can the experienced player we are in talks with! (who is not Eastmond) I think its a good call... we need that spark in the reserves!

u surely can not knock his talent

Beans? Spill? PM?

No but if his head wasn't already in RU don't you think he would be turning out for Sts each week, particularly at the mo with the injuries they have

true, but hes been ill

no you cant, but why should we babysit him before he goes to rugby union? the only way it will work is if kear makes him fight for a first team spot rather than gifting him one surely?

Well itsw up to kear then, what he decides to do

So if thats the reason he hasnt been playing for sts, I would expect him to get back in their side if he has recovered

Hope its true, regardless of wether he wants to play union or not next season, he certainly is a far better player than weve currently got. If it doesnt work out its no long term loss is it?

well im just suggesting , with the fact kear has quoted ' When you realise the situation hes been in' and an 'exciting player'

Thankyou 'STANTHEWILDCAT' LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worry is we pay someone a fair whack who is not interested. Look at what happened with Cooke last season. He has more or less admitted recently that he couldn't be bothered last season.

But cooke is not a patch on eastmond !

not being funny but where has anyone heard anything official on this? if not do we really need a new thread when we already have an established one?

Not for me - I don't think he'd fit in with the culture that's been created at WTW this season, and I'd hate to see one of our young battlers sidelined to make way for a money-grabbing, onion-bound prima donna.

I'm all for adding some experience and quality, but not Eastmond.

No but the point I am making is it don't matter how good you are, if you aren't interested/bothered you won't play well.

The team we have this season on paper is worse than the one we had last year, but this years team are bothered about performing to the best of their ability each week and hence we get performances like Catalans away, Hull away, Cas away and Harlequins at home.

Fully agree, out of all the names mentioned this one seems to be a square peg for a round hole.

cooke is not in a hundred leagues of eastmonds talent but it comes down to whether or not you can be bothered - niether of them can be bothered so thank you saints if you were offering but

If he is fit and his head is right until the end of the season it is a fantastic signing. If he just wants to bad it out until the end of the season and pick up his wage it’s a lousy signing

I will give him the benefit of the doubt it’s up to him to play the rugby we all know he can produce
