We can only put Eastmond in the 'potential' bracket for so long. He had a good Grand Final on a big stage. He's had another England call up and if he performs well on that international stage then his bargaining position will shoot up.
Maybe Saints should have tied him up 3 months ago when they had the chance, at a lower rate than he can negotiate now.

He's won 3 super league titles, won the harry sunderland, won the WCC and LLS.
Played for england on the biggest stage, and done alright.
Pretty much the only thing he hasn't done is won the CC.

Hopefully not the kind of outing that Jason Donovan was (falsely) subjected to  |

How many 4 nations and World cups does he have? How many young player of the year? How many Man of Steel awards? How many top scorer awards?
How many Mr Gay Yorkshire awards? |

You need to remember that Rugby is a job for these guys and they dont get paid that well in league compared to union and most players are washed up by the time their 31-32 ish. Players need to be able to set themselves up for when they retire. |

its a reality in the game now - salary cap, wage structures, Leeds have seen it before with the calderwood and chevs of the world, life goes on.
the awkward thing for you lot is the transitional juncture your club is at,so many amazing players finishing / leaving over the last few years, and KC next year - how much faith and cash do you punt on the young man |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |
