You come at the king - You better not miss. It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg



Good.

It would have been such a waste of talent if he'd gone to Yawnion.

Yep it would have been a big loss for the game. Would have been hilarious if he'd gone to Wigan though icon_biggrin.gif

Fully agree.

I also think he'd be pretty rubbish at Union (they don't need/want backs that can run with the ball)

So that would be why they didn't want Jason Robinson et al then? As I recall it's our strong running backs the monied union types target icon_rolleyes.gif

I think he'd have been a massive star in Union, they can stick him at full back and just tell him to run everytime the ball is kicked to him.
Where Union struggle is making good centres/wingers from League do anything in Union because their halves are generally woefully inept at attacking and their backlines are pathetic at running attacking lines. But someone like Eastmond would do well and would be in the England team within a year or so in my opinion.

You do realise it was nearly 10 years ago that they signed Robinson icon_rolleyes.gif

Look at how wasted some other really good talents have been (eg Harris, Paul, Farrell) Union Clubs have wasted a lot of money on League players due to failing to appreciate the subtle differences between the two games.

The latsest yawnion rule changes have put the sport back 20 years - a running fullback would be a liability these days.

You just need a big boot and 6 foot plus backs that are safe under a kick.

"As you travel through life don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin [url:2cg5oc2o]http://twitter.com/AndyGilder[/url:2cg5oc2o] [url:2cg5oc2o]http://fromthewesternterrace.blogspot.co.uk[/url:2cg5oc2o] This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif



If rugby league lost Kyle Eastmond to union, there would be another Kyle Eastmond along somewhere else in SL (not necessarily at Saints) within a couple of years to replace him.

That's how rugby league has survived the union game going openly professional, by continuing to produce its own talent at a rate the RFU would be creaming themselves about.

Let's not get carried away on the basis of one tournament and a couple of good pieces of support play that Eastmond is the next Peter Sterling either btw - he's still got plenty to prove at club and international level.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg

But he won't prove it if he's playing for Sale.

I hear what you say and don't necessarily disagree but still think retaining such an exciting young talent is a cause for a little bit of celebration.

Yep, he's got great potential but it will only be realised if he can add to his excellent running game with a passing and kicking game as well.

Quote: Omar Little "You do realise it was nearly 10 years ago that they signed Robinson
In the playing sense you're probably right - but I'd imagine those signings helped to swell the crowds of the clubs that signed them. I suspect that signing a "name" is just as important for them as playing ability. Exactly the same applied when we used to sign their well known players - fans wanted to see how good they actually were when put into a "proper" rugby environment and would pay to see it.
