His position is pretty much untenable now in relation to playing 1st team again unless we have a major injury crisis, and I personally would not like him sat in the reserves as he would poison the atmosphere there.

I wonder what the position is in relation to him doing other jobs in the club? Opening post, etc? I'm employed in a certain role, but I know that my employer could shift me to another job at any time. He wants paying to the end of his contract, I don't see why he should be able to be sat on his doing nothing until Bath want him. He could always resign, but that would mean no payment from us.

As a season ticket holder I will also cancel my 5 year ticket if Eastmond gets picked over either Gaskell or Lomax.

I am not being ripped off by a little over ego dwarf!

Rogues not fishing you no aswell as anyone that it's a completly different story when a player abuses the crowd. I work in Retail and I get spoken to like crap! If I do the same I would get disciplined, it's as simple as that.

He should be made to play for the under 20's He should be made to fight for his place back in the first team and as long as the two we have there at present are on form etc. then there is no place for him. I just hope it doesn't affect the morale of the team.

If your talking about the Kyle Eastmond who used to put in the effort then not playing him would be foolish as he is obviously a very talented lad but the Ea$tmond we've seen since he's decided he's leaving for Union is not worth a spot on the bench for the u20's.


Kyle might think he's lucky but if Saints force him to train alone he will be very out of sorts when he finally gets a chance in union sometime in november ...

Perhaps you should let the club know how you feel and what you intend to do about it.

Why shouldn't he play?

Well, so far, he's been crap. Other players such as Gaskell and Lomax have tried hard and played better than Eastmond did. If our selection is based on merit and not on names, then Eastmond shouldn't start, irrespective of the suspension.

.........up to RS obviously but ounds like the majority don't want him to play, that being said that if he does play and scores a hat-trick then all's forgotten. Bit like Rooney at ManU in some ways, couldn't stand it if he kissed the badge though

well saddened you tell us why he should then?

Now i know this is silly but lets just supose, oh lets see that the other players actully dont want to play with him,how would picking him benifit the team?

Eastmond to play in the U20's vs Bradford according to Stuart Pyke on twitter.

Because his only notable contributions to our season so far have been a public apology and a suspension?

He's been rubbish because his heart is clearly not in it. A RL player who is disinterested is absolutely useless.

He clearly hasn't warranted a 1st team spot based on his performance so far this season, so for that reason alone he shouldn't be picked. If he starts to put in performances in the u20s then he should only be promoted if the rest of the squad are happy for that to happen.

Correct.

A player can have all the talent in the world, but if heart isn't in it then what's the point?

What is everyone basing their opinion on though? No one has spoken about Kyle not being popular or disrupting the team that all seems to be rumoured.

For me he is just a young man who was distracted by the burden of such a big, life changing decision. Now it's sorted it is likely to settle him down. He is our most dangerous player and should start. If he isn't in the right frame of mind for that he should be sacked.

This season at widnes will be hard enough without compounding that by dropping players out of spite. I notice Jammer isn't being dropped. Why is that?
