the eastmond limp

If the medical staff said he was fit then it's up to Mick.

I would have gone along with his choice. If he's fit then he plays.

I wouldn't have picked him to be honest, even if he was fit, i don't think he and smith would work together at halfback, both like to be the main man and it just didn't work while kyle was on the pitch.

It was like nobody wanted to stand on the others toes so nobody took charge.

I wouldn't pick kyle again until next year.

Does anybody have any stats about how many times he has played 80 minutes?

Somebody commented to me it was only around 5 times which seems quite alarming.

As a neutrel I agree he seemed to go hiding infact I only realised he was on when eddie h mentioed him as u say should never have been picked now unless Gardner was injured I'm sure he was pretty peed off

it's becoming a farce.. a few blokes i know were taking bet's to the nearest time he'd come off injured..(wonder who won?)
he's still overated for me...all this hype about him goes over the top...like i said in an earlier post im still not convinced about him.

For me Its down to poor decisions by the coach and the medical staff. He was never fit last night,despite what they said about It being a different injury.
Just throwing the kid out there and hopeing he pulls through isn't whats needed.
Its laying him open to ridicule which some people are only to happy to oblige.

awesome talent, but like wheeler, if he cant stay fit what's the point?

I'm pretty sure he played the first 13/14 games this year straight through and there'd be no reason for him not to have finished each of them games. I'd wager that he's finished the 80 more than 5 times.

It was obvious he wasn't fit - even when he was on the pitch, he never got involved in the play. It was almost as if we were playing with 12 men. If its going to be the same next week, i'd rather play Lomax or Moore along with Smith in the halves.

Nigel Wright #2 ?

Hope not though!

Since when has Eastmond been signed up by a short sighted club to sit and wallow in their reserve side simply so that no other club could have him ?
