The is an old saying "don't cr@p on those who help you on the way up cos they will cr@p on you on the way back down"

It would depend on his contract I guess. I think if he said something that brought the game or the club into disrepute he could be disciplined but other than that apart from dropping him I doubt there's much we can do.

If he truly did have this huge respect for Saints he claims to have, it would be unnecessary to stop him.

Please boo him on Friday.

Just watched it on the internet, and my blood is boiling. If union is the bigger sport, then why has he wasted his own time, and ours pretending he like playing rugby? I was trying to keep a level head, but he can go and now, I will boo him till my throat is ho!

"The simple fact is, the absolute bottom line is it's a bigger sport..."

Can we get those words on a banner, with a suitable illustration on it?

This is the dilemma.

I've no time for Eastmond and wish we could have negotiated an early release for him.

But given that we didn't, I can't see that booing him while he's out there playing for the side will have anything other than a negative effect on the team as a whole.

I'm sure that some of his teammates would join in the booing if they were sat in the stands.

I'm struggling to see where he would play in Union. FB is probably his best option.

From a Saints POV - surely keeping him is holding back the progress of a HB in your reserves that could be given some game time?

But they're not.

Like it or lump it, for the time being Eastmond is one of seventeen Saints players out there trying to win games.

I can't see that an atmosphere of animosity will help in any way here - you can imagine a big game with the oppo fans giving huge vocal support to their team while we spend our time waiting for the ball to land with Eastmond so we can boo him.

Club over snide, snivelling, sell-out, money grabbing scrote every time.

I'm struggling to care where he'll play.

Totally agree that we'd have been better getting shut once his mind was made up which would have allowed us to try to bring in a replacement, but we didn't / couldn't.

We're struggling at halfback with the permanently injured Wheeler and Pryce, so it seems we're stuck with him.

It's ok though, he has such an affinity with the club he feels like he's one of us.

He hasn't done himself any favours in that interview, he comes across like an absolute idiot.

'Anyone who says it's money driven are the people who don't want me to leave RL' - can't say I agree with you there Kyle!

Just been thinking (I do sometimes) isn't Kyle supposed to be the 'new ' face of RL? Am I right in thinking his face featured on the new RL game?

Can you PM me a link please?

Its earlier in the thread, mate.

Looks like I should read the whole thread before commenting. Thanks.
