Ah well not Wigans problem. They all moaned at us for "not trying harder" when we lost ashton so they can swivel atm to be honest. Ok yeah its a shame for England but theres nothing we can do now.
also @Father Jack: I agree he's not always spot on but at least they'd still have a quality half. |

This is the only way we can look at it.
Somehow or other - certainly through more astute management than is going on elsewhere - IL has managed to lock our best young talent up in good, lengthy deals. Whether he'll manage to do it indefinitely is another question, but perhaps it's time we stopped worrying about the game in general, and just looked at the positives, which is that Wigan's best young players are staying put (at least for the time being).

Exactly thank god we are a few years from having to worry about this. We also have the quality coming through that we may suffer a lesser blow than Saints if we were to lose someone in this way. |

If this is true then it is yet another awful day for RL.
If the reports are correct one of our top players has been lured away for £200k p.a. plus presumably the benefits that may come to him (if he is successful) from a higher media profile.
Its's very worrying that RL cannot pay the sort of money that would make the move to RU too risky for a young player like Eastmond - it's not as if RU have offered him £50k a week...
£200k is the equivalent in real terms of around £120k back in the late 90s. If we'd known at the outset of SL and the SC that we wouldn't be able to pay a top star of the game the equivalent of £120k after a decade and a half of SL then people would have thought the SL and SC experiment to be an utter failure.
Which it is. Our game is in crisis, people need to wake up!

The story first broke last night by Royce Simmons on the BBC Mersesyide Rugby League Review show.
Eastmond goes at the end of the season.

Can't blame him.
It's always sad to see but mostly you find the players who are offered will go at the beginning or end of their career to get the extra cash...............Would you not??????

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

It's just great being hated for being a supporter of your local team....:7407.jpg |
|
| Funny tweet from Snellins "@Saints1890: Kyle to join Bath at the end of the Rugby League season - and is fully committed to the Saints until then. COYS."
The commitment has been clear for all to see  |

Kyle can say that he'll be committed to the St Helens cause in 2011, but the truth is - even if he doesn't realise it yet - he'll be as committed as his new paymasters allow him to be.
Expect many more mysterious injuries before this season is done (though I admit, in that respect it would be pretty difficult to see much difference between this season and all Kyle's other seasons).

I wonder if he'll do what Ashton did and pose in a Bath shirt while he's still playing for Saints? |

He's not worth £200k. As I've pointed out before, if you pay him that kind of money, you realistically have to increase the other players' salaries to reflect their relative value. Do the exercise, and you very quickly reach a total salary outlay of over £4million - and the sport certainly can't afford that level of payment. |
