I think he saw himself going the way of Jason Robinson, that is becoming the main attacking thrust of the England rah rah team and taking all the fame and adulation and extra money that came with it. Didn't work out as he couldn't emulate Robinson.

He'll be good but he will be hard to manage.

Would welcome him at Hull, he's the exciting player we need, and a household name who will sell tickets

A bit like Chase and Hock.

Maybe that's enough type of players for one club.

Exactly. Although, after watching Hock in his BBC interview his misdemeanors may be down to him being as thick as a plank. I do hope there are no open flames at the ground and he isn't asked to put his feckin hand in the fire cos he probably would.

As previously said he was the second most gifted British rugby league player of a generation, but he has a bad attitude and is injured quite a lot.

Despite the assumption on this board, that league players should walk into union teams, it is difficult for players to switch successfully. Some basic skills are transferrable but the games are very different. Kyle Eastmond has the skills to be a great success at either code but always gives the impression that his head will, sooner or later, let him down.
When I see Joel T playing for England RU he really doesn't look like a union player. When he gets near a breakdown he looks like a twelve year old just starting out, but he is always trying. Attitude is everything. Eastmond, on the other hand, has a history now of walking away leaving a bad smell. He could be great in union but has fallen behind half a dozen other players who all look the part.
I would like to see him back in league but think that, like Jason Robinson, he really needs a Tiagumala (sorry for the spelling) to guide him.

Harris and Smith were never the same when they came back, would Eastmond be any different.

Harris especially was a talented player, but his 2nd stint in league was average.

Apparently vs Worcester this month he didn't touch the ball once in a full game.

Union is as different to league as it is to Nfl. Lots of sports have football in the name but are very different, the two codes of rugby share a common ancestry and not much else. Time to stop referring to them as two codes and start calling them two sports .
Hope when he comes back he is used as a lesson to any other player thinking of switching again.

YEAH....because there's a massive list of failed code switchers either way............not like the 2 tries in the 2003 RWC final were scored by switchers is it



Eastmond needs an attitude transplant....he went for the money thinking RWC 2015 beckoned....he has come up short and now will have to work hard to get back to where he was.
Why isn't London Broncos an option on the list BTW......we have room on the cap, that's for sure

We could have added Featherstone i suppose
