Quote: Offside Monkey "I hazard a guess we'll start to see a lot more, since Long's departure was confirmed. I reckon the coaches would've prefered to have been in this situation 12 months in the future, but needs must when the devil drives, and all that jazz.

I still think the Kevin Penny comment was uncalled for, though

Yeah, leave poor Kevin alone. icon_lol.gif

I still think Scotty could be re-converted back to scrum half and do the job for us.

Quote: Saddened! "Wheeler

But all would be very good at 7. With people like Pryce, Wellens, Roby and Cunningham playing in the positions you mentioned these young players are ideal to fill the gap at 7. Eastmond is likely to start the season at 7 but I would not rule out one of the above filling in when needed.

This was not really my point. My point was why would Smith want to risk being a second choice at Saints (and spend most weeks in the second team) when he is guarenteed to start every week for Celtic.

It's a big decision, i'd take the bigger contract at celtic, but you never know.

Who says Celtic even want him? He's hardly pulling up trees from the games I've seen him in.

Making history - not living in it! 'YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING LIKE THE DAMIEN QUINN':



Matty's been one of our best players. He transforms the team when he's in the starting 13, and has by far the best kicking game here.

Deep kicking - absolutely. His range and accuracy are as good any in the league. However, excluding Long, the short stuff isn't so clear cut. TBH, I don't think there's much between Smith and Wilkin.

Where have the rumours of eastmonds attitude come from???

I would hope a players attitude does have a baring on his future at saints to be honest.

Quote: ST_CONROY "Have we seen Eastmond play a full game at 7?
Have we seen Eastmond play a consistent run of games at 7?
Have we seen Eastmond play 7 against a top team?
Can Eastmond control a game?
Can he stay injury free?

etc.

Look, i'm not denying Eastmond is a very good prospect but as of yet, we have seen nothing IMO to suggest he can definately be the future number seven. He is being touted based on what? The fact that he has pace and is talked up by everybody.'"


Smith can not answer any of those questions positively can he?

Eastmond has far greater potential and has an x-factor about him. He could win a game on his own with a searing break or touchline conversion. In some ways, he is like a young version of Long as a player. If he does half as well as Longy, I'll be happy

with any luck we'll have a better luck tonight, with kyle and matty playing apposing 7's, although the packs they are playing behind do differ somewhat.

Quote: Harborne Saint "Smith can not answer any of those questions positively can he?

Yes he can,

Full Game at 7. Yes
Run of games at 7. Yes, both with us and Celtic.
Played a top team at 7. I'd say a play-off game aginst Leeds counts. Wouldn't you?
Control a game. Yes.
Injury Free. Debatable.


Part of me would be interested to see Celtic beat us tonight, with Matty on form, playing Kyle off the park. What would people's attitudes be then?

I hope Matty is playing and I hope he is on form. I'd like to get the chance to see what he can do these days. It's ages since March 2008 when I last saw him play!

I'd like to think people would take that on board. People don't [iwant[/i to see Smith to fail.

I wouldn't necesserily expect a complete u-turn on the basis of one game, however.
