me neither - but what about our first choice scrum half, an England international (and Englands best scrum half) and our best player in his only Grand Final appearance?

Its hard to argue that kyle isnt at very least one of our top 3 players. Within the salary cap contraints, it is quite possible to have these three on at least £250 k, so i doubt it is all about money.
My guess (and thats what it is) is that Kyles agent (not kyle) wants a relatively short term deal, ie 2 years again and Sir Mac wants 4-5 years as he wont want to go through this in another 18 months.
Kyle isnt (yet) the superstar Jason robinson was when he changed codes, so the money from them wont be ridiculous, but if he had 2 amazing seasons it might be.

Would a Union club throw silly money at a young lad from RL who can't stay off the treatment table? I thought the days of cross code gambles went out the window with the Andy Farrell debacle?

I think its more of the ' RU steal RL star' thing they are going for. I admit he is a very good player but such a massive money gamble by Bath on a player lke you said, who can't get off the treatment table.

Perhaps Bath are encouraged by the success of Hape rather than put off by the dissapointment of Chev Walker.

at least kyle can legitimately play for england!

But they effectively got Owen Farrell for nothing.

And you're worried that if Eastmond goes, Kyle Eastmond Jr will end up also playing union?
Don't tell me, you've seen him playing for Oldham St Annes Under 3s, he's a real talent and a life long Wigan fan?

If he thinks he is already worth more than he actually is, let him go then. Take the Union dollar. See you in 12 months with your tail (probably broken) between your legs, Kyle.

The Sun now reporting Warrington to offer him a deal to stay in League.

No quotes, no statements just 2 lines, any bugger could have made that story up

As a Rugby League fan I'd rather him stay in our game than go to Rugby Union.

Same but I just see these pointless useles Newpaper reports annoying and as I said above it basically says "Warrington to bid for Eastmond."
