What is the situation with his contract? I've seen many a headline on the official website about youngsters getting contracts but I don't remember reading anything about young Kyle, who is clearly the most exciting talent we have.

I have been informed 'as a matter of fact' by a smug Wire fan that he has signed for Sale Sharks.

The sports in the sh*t bigtime if Eastmond has signed for Union.

We can't afford to lose players of that ability especially in that position.

Contracted to end of 2010 I think. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyl ... tmond.html

His agent, Martin Offiah, said on the SSN RL review last Sunday evening that he was only contracted to the end of next season, and Saints should start looking to get him tied to a long term deal sooner rather than later.

It's just rumour-mongering put around by some twonk in the pub who heard it from the friend of a friend of a mate.

Needs an extention sharpish.

However unless he grows a bit more he may be perceived as too small for union.

His pace and ability to evade tackles plus his kicking would be a good addition for RU.

Hopefully it is. But you often find these rumblings long before the deals are announced.

Seems strange that we'd let Kyle's contract get to 12 months to expiry without dealing with it.

Why ? thats what happens with most players. If he isent signed by June next year then he'll be off. However why would Saints let his contract run down when we could gain a massive fee.

I'm not sure.

I posted about it last week, but I didn't know which club.


As I said then I really hope that it is wrong.

I can see it happening, RU will think he's the next robinson

TBF the Wire fan that told Saddened probably just read your post on RLFANS.

I think people pressume because his short and black (Robinson) that Sale must want him.

No, the guy who told me is or was involved with Lymm RUFC and apparantly it's going round in those circles.

Who wouldn't want him?

The lad's a special talent, certainly the most exciting prospect I've ever seen play for Saints.

Yeah, a bit like when Cunningham went to Wigoon.

That only fell down because Webcke didn't like any of the 12 houses he bought in St Helens.
