Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Nothing excites me more than a good protest. I'll never forget the laughs I had when Mr Blobby and his crew from here stormed the Director's box at Knowsley Road.

Stick the little runt in the reserves.

I thought we'd done this one - the needle is stuck,somebody nudge the record player please !

I just cant help thinking, jees this lad has received some poor advice. Its clear his agent and the union bods have filled his head full of the propaganda and even at 21, he seems young/naive/immature enough to believe everything he's told, purely because they are blowing smoke up his @$$.

The harsh fact is that RU at international level is a bigger sport than RL, its true and no amount of complaining is going to change that, BUT I agree that this interview has shown a level of disrespect to our sport, the club and his fellow players.

I wouldnt boo any Saints player, except maybe Garry Connolly but he'd expect nothing less.

Seriously, as a club and as fans of Saints, we need to move on and put the Eastmond fiasco behind us. If I were the club and if there is any possibility of doing it without costing us a full seasons wages, I'd release him now. If his head wasn't in the game during the negotiations with Bath, it certainly wont be in the game when he turns out each sunday and he's getting a barrage of abuse from the home fans for how he has represented himself.

Whether he makes it in RU or not is his concern, but if he flops like numerous players before him and he comes back to RL with his begging bowl, I cant ever see him wearing a Saints shirt again, I cant image the current management wanting him back.

If you dont want him in the reserves, stick him in at prop, and lets see the other players give him the same respect he has given them.

yep, a game that we had to wait 2 or 3 months extra just to get his RU loving face on the cover.

he's still employed and is being paid by the club to do a job,we need points and what do points make ?

Haggerty hospital pass time......

I agree with the sentiment of ignoring him. He is simply a player with potential who is way above his station, and will need to improve his attitude if he wants to get anywhere near the England squad in a different code.


I do wonder how 'big' he will think the game of rugby union is if he never makes the England squad - waiting around freezing in the harsh British winter waiting for the umpteenth goal to be kicked, in front of crowds even less than what he is currently playing in front of.

You have to update your opinons of Union. Their domestic league is better attended than Super League.

Whilst I understand your tongue in cheek sense of humour, I don't have to update anything. He is moving from St Helens to Bath. Which team is better attended?

In terms of home games Saints, because Bath are capped by their ground. But he'll play in front of more people on average in Union I would expect. Most games will be 5 figure crowds.

And despite what he makes out, he isn't even going for the Aviva games. He is going for the European cup and the Internationals.

Baths current home average crowd is 11,555 which is higher than saints have averaged for many many years.

We've topped 11,000 average in 2 of the last 4 years, so I think that's a little disingenuous. It's not as if there are rampantly more fans at Bath than Saints - they are pretty similar.

Come back when we have our new stadium and make the comparison . . . . . I'd imagine Bath will be at least 1,000 on average down on Saints.

As a big massive Saints fan for years I now admit Union is the better game. They have move forwards the last couple of years while SL has gone backwards IMO.

Our game must change soon.
