The week is getting old. He's certainly likes to build the suspense! (Unless he hasn't actually decided, yet!?)

I'm getting more bored than tense. I suppose it's because I've resigned myself to him leaving.

yep, get it over with now, i'm getting to the point were i just want it resolved, the result doesnt seem to matter any more

Well I say if he say's he's going to Bath we should get rid now and try and get some cash in.

We may need a Scrum Half for one or two season's while getting our current options up to speed!

Unless a real bargain presents itself, I say we muddle through this year, letting Wheeler, Lomax and Gaskell fight it out for who partners Leon. If none of them make the grade (or are obviously better suited elsewhere) then we can get Thurst....I mean someone new in for next season.

The problem with that is we then are operating with one first choice half back who isn't the best kicker and if he gets injured then we are in trouble!

I'd rather have kept Matty Smith and sold Eastmond for mega Buck. When they announced the two year deal at the beginning of last season we all new it would just start the same problems 12 months later and here we are!

That wasn't an option though.

Eastmond is the better talent, keeping him was the correct option.

Only a club with ZERO ambition would have made that move.

The more I think about Kyle playing rugby union, the less convinced I am.

Little guy, lots of skill, lots of pace? The first ruck he end up at the bottom of, some hairy french prop's going to give him a shoeing, and kyle will be limping back to the changing rooms with that familiar look on his face.

Are you saying Union is a harder game than League?

Perhaps just easier to be underhand? And let's face it, in a list of RL hardmen, Kyle's pretty low down in the order.

Mind you until recently, I woke up sore every sunday of the season for about 15 years from the exact treatment detailed above. I was never fast nor skillfull, though.. .. ..
