Quote: matt king's cat "If TS wasn't interested in Rangi Chase because of his 'lifestyle choices' then Eastmonds unprofessional antics will exclude him without a seconds thought.
Plenty of talent but as brainless as Gareth Hock.'"
Whilst I might agree, don't you think that the comparison to our lack of interset in Chase and Hock are a little unfair? Not only are their 'lifestyle choices' different, but, so are their ages, backgrounds and I suppose ultimately their costs.
From a different angle we are gambling with Penny and to some extent Russell, but, it's a gamble based on cost and a lack of competition driving up the price, therefor the perceptions are that it's a no brainer and a shrewd bit of business on both accounts.
Eastmond will undoubtedly attract attention if he comes back to SL, but, in reality what are his options, Wigan Saints Salford Wire Leeds and Hull? TS's interest might just be tempered by who he is up against on the bidding front rather than a lack of self belief that he can straighten the guy out assuming of course that he rates him
