It's nothing to do with money for Graham, it's about his dream of playing in oz. His decision won't change for a few more quid, he really loves saints

Just a suggestion, if Kyle does go would it be worth having a look at Deacon as I cant think of too many scrum halfs that would just take over from Kyle?

Is that a joke?

As Graham has been brought into the discussion, of course he is happy currently at a top club, but he must have some ambition and to try something different and that is Australia, doubt he is here for life, it is just a matter of when!

every player wants to keep on moving up the ladder and i think in grahams eyes that is in oz and is just a matter of when rather than if.

I'd be more then happy for Wigan to send secret agent Deacon over to Saints to run your side and replace Eastmond. He does a solid job for us but it's a very simple one and thats about all his body is up to nowadays. He basically just keeps the ball moving for us and gets it to our expansive runners but a replacement for an explosive talent like Eastmond? Not in a million years.

If I were Saints coach i'd be giving a few of the youngsters in your squad the chance to nail down the position by playing them there this season when possible and if one of them isn't really standing out i'd target a new signing. I can't see any truth in the rumour that Hull will sign Cooper Cronk but if there was even a 1% chance of getting him over here i'd be doing my upmost to bring him in.

I don't know what to think about this anymore. He said he would give us the news last week and we've not heard anything. The obvious agent/Union created press releases through the papers and Sky Sports News seem to have dried up now as well. It would appear he's made his decision.

But why delay it? If he's going he would want to give himself as much time before the next match as possible, assuming he's staying with us until the end of his contract.

I'd love it to be like the old days, when watching Saints was like watching WWE Wrestling on TV. A big announcement pre game against the Wire and then a rip roaring performance from him and the team to send them home crying again. If Kyle announces he's off and we lose to Warrington I think I'll be stopping off on Runcorn Bridge for a bit of contemplation.

It seems weird that Bath would let a marquee player like Hape go and get no one in surely?

On the surface it just looks like a matter of time before the decision is announced.

You don't need to have a guy who is always injured in the team you know. It's not a specialist position!

we've got gary wheeler for that
