Least we now know, He'll be back

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:43 pm  

Ah well, all the best.

Hopefully he goes straight away, or otherwise avoids a Chris Ashton "pose in the shirt" type situation!

If he has gone, all the best, but go now as FTV says a chris ashton moment wont be good!

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:20 pm  

It's better for us to know now. I'm sure he will do his best for us for the rest of the season and will want to go out on a high. Such a massive shame to lose a young player to another sport after putting so much into our youth system though, it's a kick in the teeth that the RFL need to sort out before a trickle turns into a stream.

Losing him to the NRL helps Englands chances, even losing him to Wigan is better for our sport as much as it would hurt. Losing him to Union just leaves a bitter taste that is difficult to take.

We definitely need to keep hold of Graham and/or Pryce now.

If he stays until the end of the season I hope the fans are sensible and get behind one of our best players rather than boo him every week.

Can't help but think it will be easier for all concerned if he leaves with immediate effect, as much as I would like to watch a full season of Kyle as our 7.

Not sure as we have no direct replacement for him. If we lost Pryce to injury we'd be buggered in the halves. At least if he went at the end of the year we'd have time to find a replacement. On the other side of the coin, I'd hope if he did go now we'd get a big fee for him to help us fund a new player.

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:36 pm  

I wonder if he carries on playing this season, opposition fans will boo him everytime he gets the ball, like they did Chris Ashton?

Re: Super Kyle Eastmond : Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:37 pm  

A sad loss to our game.

Don't blame Kyle one little bit, he has done what he considers to be the best for him as an individual and each one of us would do that.

Perhaps not the correct post to be mentioning this but yet again the Salary Cap has contributed to RL losing one of its best young players.

I think it would be best for both sides now if Kyle went sooner than later.

Judging by what I've read, he's going with immediate effect and we will get a hefty transfer fee for him.
