I think at times especially without the experience of Longy we look rudderless at times and lack a creative spark. Leon is more of an off the cuff rugby player that does drift in and out of the game on occassions.

IMO I would love to Eastmond partnering Longy at Half back with Leon at loose forward. That trio would be mouth watering in the play off series coupled with KC and Roby at hooker.

State the obvious.

How would you like the rules to change? If you slide over the line because its been raining all day, you have to release the ball and do a handstand? If its only been raining for half an hour you get sent off? You play to the conditions, end of.

Eastmond didn't stop because it had been pouring down all day, half of his body ended up over the line. If hes strong enough to drag himself that far with one hand and a prop on his back without stopping, I want to have a bit of whatever he's taking.

I thought that we lacked creativity and organisation on many occasions, and Eastmond was one of the only players that looked like he could break the line for us, making a half break on a few occasions. We also took an awful lot of wrong options, that needs to be worked on.

When is Eastmonds contract up?


We watched the last 20 minutes of the game in the Sports bar at belle view dog track last night.

After the game ended a lady came across to the four of us (3 Wigan fans and 1 Saints fan) to talk to us about Kyle Eastmond.

She was from the Oldham area (her dog had just won one of the races) and had family connections with Kyles junior coach .

She said that Eastmond has had a big offer from Rugby Union and will move next year. I presume that is at the end of the 2010 season, I should have asked.

It will be a sad loss to our game if true.

He hasn't signed a new contract recently, like wheeler etc. so there may be some merit in it, As you say big loss if true, saints seem to have quite a few half backs coming through at the moment so with any luck one can fill another void.

Sale are after him.

really.

We should tell them, "He's not for Sale".

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week.

Looks too small for RU to me - unless he's playing behind a big pack he'll get stuffed everytime he touches the ball.

I love all these people you get to talk to in random places who always have something to say about St Helens. It seems a weekly event you have heard something off someone about a saints player.

get off your high horse with your sarky remark.

If it's so obvious then longy won't get back in the team will he?

Hopefully not.

So you don't believe me?

There were three other people with me, one a Saints supporter who can confirm it. One of the people with me was the son of a Lance Todd winner.

When did I last post that I'd heard something about a Saints player?
