I had no problems with them booing him when he did his petulant walk off. But there were individuals laying into him during the warm up and all through the game.

I notice no one was abusing James Graham and he's doing exactly the same thing as Kyle. If he has another poor game will we all get stuck into him?

I heard a lot of people abusing graham. Then I heard a lot of abuse generally. Nothing nasty just borne of frustration I would say.

You have a very short memory, Saints fans have always needed a scape goat ... usually a winger but not always. Watched some shocking moments when Scully wouldnt pass to Lyon with an open line .... Danny Arnold getting stick along with Sullivan, not to mention Long and KC knocking on all over the park. As for comments before the start of a game , both Meli and Gardner have suffered with this sort of crap,. The way round it ..... announce he is staying and then silence the KD's ...or say he is going and bring on a player to fill the role ....the latter is my choice but I am sure there are differing views.

According to his apology, Kyle is with us for the rest of the season. This is also what the Chief Exec said in the RL press last week. It could all be BS of course.

I hope he stays in the game but it looks highly unlikely. If he is with you for the rest of the season I sincerely hope he knuckles down and performs for you because he really is great to watch when he's on form.

As I said to your mate Wanderer, it's similar to the Chris Ashton situation in many ways, not least in the two players attitudes, but she was was so stupid she couldn't or wouldn't see it.

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Sat Feb 26, 2011 9:23 pm  

If he's going, as seems likely, I'd rather him go now.

Rightly or wrongly, he has now incurred the wrath of a large proportion of the fans and this can't be healthy as the season progresses.

Thanks for the few memories, Kyle - but I hope you're an absolute failure in the other code. Mind you, I guess you'll live with being a rich failure.

As an aside, if a player leaves during a season can the club then use up his wage on the cap?

Given that Kyle has been offered a new contract by Saints his current contract can't be that big, which will limit the amount you could spend on a replacement.

Pretty sure you can use the cap space.

Kyle's current contract is certainly not small fry - he's alleged to have wanted Longy's deal to sign the 2 year extension a season ago. He's not a low earner - we'll have the space to bring in a top replacement, the problem is who is available to recruit?
