Its what my mother used to call "talking wrong to get right"

Sounds to me as if they are in the latter stage of negotiations with an RU club and this is just meant to add a bit of leverage.

I hope I'm wrong

Vegas should have punched him twice.

"I, like everyone else involved in rugby league, know his talents and I'm sure St Helens do too, but if they don't value him like that then he'll be somewhere else - it's as simple as that."

He's going to push for everything he can get for his client, which is fair enough.

He does make me laugh with these talent spotting statements. When he came back to Sky, he spoke like he hadn't watched a game of rugby league since he'd retired, the newsreader on Sky Sports News would often have to correct him on player names, a reporter who has probably never even seen a game. Plonker.

Key paragraph
Signed copies of 'Martin Offiah's 50 Of The Best' - 50 of the greatest rugby league tries of all time - are now available on pre order at

i'm sure the saints board like many saints fans realise that eastmond is still potentially a quality player. the board can only pay him what they think he's worth and at the moment he deserves a better contract but not a huge one i.m.o offiah seems to want his two young half backs to be paid top wage(good luck to them i say) but he's overpricing them and therefore holding our club to ransom somewhat. and the statement of if saints dont meet his demands then he will go simple as that is amazingly obnoxious and disrepectful to the hard work that saints have put in to make eastmond the player he is today!

Lee Smith has hardly done all there is to do in RL.

To be perfectly honest I found that reassuring more than anything. The implication is that all parties want him to stay in RL and at Saints. It's just a part of the negotiation process. I'll be very surprised if Saints don't have an attractive offer ready for Kyle in the not too distant.
