[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

That's not what Kyle Eastmond is quoted as saying in League Express this week. He states quite clearly that he was attracted by the idea of playing for England in front of a crowd of 80,000 fans. He accepts that he might not get there but he wants to try. |

75,000 of whom probably won't have seen him play for Bath. |

Bit off topic, but what an absolute gent Royce Simmons is. Whilst in Perpignan, he thanked us for coming over and chatted to us in the hotel, and once again when we were sat in the Grand Cafe de la Poste in the city centre "thanks for coming over guys, really appreciate your support" were his words.
When we were at breakfast (on first floor) he came out of the lift and realised after about 15 seconds that he'd got off on the wrong floor (he wanted ground floor) "i bet you think i'm an idiot, now" he said. Instead of getting the lift back down one floor he thought he'd take the stairs instead, but he ended up walking into a store cupboard thinking it was the stairwell, "now you know i'm an idiot!" he said.  Made us laugh! |

After the coolness of Daniel Anderson, and the monotonous Mick Potter, it's good to finally get a coach with a sense of humour :p

Hmmm, this and all the comments from the Wests fans don't exactly fill me full of confidence in terms of the guy's intelligence and sharpness. I'm sure it will be fun ride whilst it lasts though

That's not the impression I get. Eastmond has repeatedly said that his interest in RU was lit when Clive Woodward gave him the VIP tour when he was a kid. Since then he's been keen on pitting himself against the best in a sport which has a considerably higher media profile. Basically, he wants to become a household name and enjoy the trappings that come with it. Which is something that League simply cannot offer him at the moment.
As for his wages - I suspect that Saints probably have matched Bath's salary offer. However, it is common for high-profile league converts to have numerous paymasters in Union. Very often players are staked additional sums by ERU (amongst others) as it is very much in its interest that they succeed (especially when the World Cup is drawing close and pressure to do well is mounting). Which means there would be no inconsistency between Saints' claim that they have matched BATH'S offer and him leaving because Union is paying more money. |
