If Eastmond is definitely not going to sign a new contract then I wouldn't waste time in trying to bed him in at 7, as said before, I'd use him as a utility back whenever needed.

No use wasting 12 months to be back at square one the year after, if he'd been an experienced half back then it might be a different matter.

Hopefully he'll sign a new contract though...

Sorry, but ever thought of ending a sentence with a full stop for a change?


Eastmond leaving is only a rumour, whether its true or not nobody knows (except Eastmond, Offiah and Sale of course). The front page of the League Express once stated that we had signed Civoniceva, but even that didn't happen. I wouldn't go believing it until its officially announced.

I did use full stops and didn't over use !! And ?? But it got such a reaction fron you lot I just kept doing it !! It amuses me very much that it gets a reaction!!

Didn't think Wheeler was much of a whinging t*at myself.

We could be one more down. On the Challenge-Cup-Winners-2009-you-know forum they're talking about how Graham, Smith and Moran were sharing a bite to eat at a St Helens restaurant tonight. Done deal.

he was laughing off transfer rumours and saying that we are on the up form-wise so don't write us off yet

only an idiot would write saints off! you can win the gf for sure.

Say that to a few people on here

mcguire is opta's stand off of the year!! For a message board that is so obsessed with stats I thought a few more people would appreciate a 6 that has been awesome this season and just keeps getting better and better.

I knew you could do it!

It is the one position where we don't have specialist cover, if 2 of McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield were out we might struggle though I think Webb or Buderus could play there at a push. Not sure Danny Allen is good enough and Simon Brown who played there for the reserves has been released.

At the time I was dissapointed that we didn't get McNally from Whitehaven as he would have been ideal long term cover.
