Totally agree!
Any team in super league would be crazy not to want him. He's pure talent.

| I can see him at Salford, purely because they're linked with everyone, or Hull, because they need a halfback.

| Kyle acted like a total mammary gland at the end of his Saints career, but I'd have him back at the club in a heartbeat. He's probably in the top 2 or 3 most exciting prospects to come out of our academy in the 20 years I've been watching. If we signed him and gave him the 6 shirt I think we'd become title favourites overnight.
The only thing that would make me think twice would be his injury record, but I believe that has improved with age.

| a big plus for signing eastmond would be not worrying if he is going to be tapped up by union. Just the NRL to worry about haha. Also i think he is over the worse of the injuries

Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

| I would certainly have him back, I honestly believe he was ill advised about his future and someone got inside his head.
He could have been playing half back in league for England in the world cup if his head was screwed on the right way.
As mentioned he would have to convince Eamon McManus that he is now mature, reliable and dedicated to a future with the club.
Do you think Kyle has been watching the Rugby League World Cup and has realised a fat pay cheque is no substitute for the game he was really developed for.

I personally think Kyle realised very soon that he wasn't going to adapt to Union. His Twitter postings initially were all about the League he was watching whilst injured. Then there was a spell where you could tell he was trying to fit in, asking where the best pubs/restaurants/shops were in Bath etc. Then there was a lot of moaning from the Bath management about his physical condition and there was obviously friction there. But all along there was an undertone that he wasn't enjoying the sport itself or adapting well on a personal level. A lot of his interviews mentioned that he was the butt of all the jokes from the public school boy brigade at Bath and it seemed whenever he wasn't playing he was spending his time in Oldham rather than Bath. It could all be down to the fact that he's getting no ball at all in the backs at Bath and realises he's unlikely to make the Union World Cup squad. If he's out of that and the big money being an international brings, whats the point suffering the hassle of playing the club game? I'm pretty sure SBW feels this too, if they would allow him to play NRL and international Union for the All Blacks, I'm convinced that is what he would do.

| What on earth does 'burnt his bridges' really mean? It's all in the past, we've all got over it and if he comes back and repays us it'll all be forgotten.
Anyone not wanting to take the risk on him is daft, especially with how desperate we are. He'd compliment Walsh superbly too.

| I'd have him back without hesitation. He's a player that can make things happen on his own, out of nothing. There aren't many of them about.
Sign him up, get a public apology for his conduct that last time round and everyone is happy. Easy

| Problem with Eastmond is when he came on the scene he was a great individual talent with huge potential. He has never moved on from that status.
Compare that with other young players with big talent who within a couple of years of making their debuts, were driving their teams forward: Cunningham, Graham or Roby for Saints; Sinfield, Burrow or McGuire for Leeds, Tomkins and Charnley for Wigan, the Burgess brothers at Souths.
Eastmond at Saints was just a bright individual talent, he did not replace Sean Long. It doesn't seem like in union he has pushed Bath to new levels either.
Potential is overrated, he needs to get the right attitude. He was compared a lot to Jason Robinson for his speed and explosiveness but Robinson was streets ahead as a professional.

Was he always though? I'm sure I remember reading Robinson crediting Tuigamala's arrival at Wigan for not only saving his career but his life as well. (I might be exaggerating that, it was a long time ago). Wasn't the early Robinson a heavy drinker before he found the good Lord?
Eastmond was turning into a brilliant player before he left. I'd say he'd be the best player in Super League if he did come back, he really is that good. He was just a cocky young kid who had his head turned by promises of glamour, fame and fortune. It's happened before and it'll happen again.
