Where have the rumours of eastmonds attitude come from???

I would hope a players attitude does have a baring on his future at saints to be honest.

Have we seen Eastmond play a full game at 7?
Have we seen Eastmond play a consistent run of games at 7?
Have we seen Eastmond play 7 against a top team?
Can Eastmond control a game?
Can he stay injury free?

etc.

Look, i'm not denying Eastmond is a very good prospect but as of yet, we have seen nothing IMO to suggest he can definately be the future number seven. He is being touted based on what? The fact that he has pace and is talked up by everybody.

Smith can not answer any of those questions positively can he?

Eastmond has far greater potential and has an x-factor about him. He could win a game on his own with a searing break or touchline conversion. In some ways, he is like a young version of Long as a player. If he does half as well as Longy, I'll be happy

with any luck we'll have a better luck tonight, with kyle and matty playing apposing 7's, although the packs they are playing behind do differ somewhat.

Yes he can,

Full Game at 7. Yes
Run of games at 7. Yes, both with us and Celtic.
Played a top team at 7. I'd say a play-off game aginst Leeds counts. Wouldn't you?
Control a game. Yes.
Injury Free. Debatable.


Part of me would be interested to see Celtic beat us tonight, with Matty on form, playing Kyle off the park. What would people's attitudes be then?

I hope Matty is playing and I hope he is on form. I'd like to get the chance to see what he can do these days. It's ages since March 2008 when I last saw him play!

I'd like to think people would take that on board. People don't want to see Smith to fail.

I wouldn't necesserily expect a complete u-turn on the basis of one game, however.
