| Quote SaintMarshy="SaintMarshy"Obviously the reason Eastmond hasn't gone now is because Bath didn't want to pay the transfer fee so they're "willing" to accept that he won't have much time to prepare.
I expect he'll be making many "unofficial" visits to Bath during this Super League season, familiarizing himself with his new surroundings, teammates and maybe even training with them
 .'"
Hope he does and get's injured. The comp Bath would have to pay would dwarf a transfer fee (Ithink) |

| Quote Billinge_Lump="Billinge_Lump"I think it's more likely that they accept that he'll be spending most of his time sat in their reserves. He'll also not need to get fit as he'll have had a season with us, what's the need for pre season training?'"
He'll be fit, no doubt, but he'll have played a whole season of Super League and then be going on to begin a new season of rugby union almost instantly? Surely his body will need a rest, especially given his "biscuit bones" status. |

| Quote Billinge_Lump="Billinge_Lump"Let's not forget he wasn't due back from injury yet, a factor to his performances that does not appear to be factored into this 'greed' argument.
How many other 20 year old players play or played with the organising ability that many are expecting from Eastmond, and the name Murphy is banned. Long certainly didn't, Martyn did most of that for him. I think we'll see another player once Pryce is back and he hits fitness. Of course that probably won't be good enough for many who'll try and hound him out of the club before season end, even if it means that the club is poorer for it. Of course he may not bother and put in half hearted performances, in that case the best case is to get rid as soon as possible, but people are condemning him for something that hasn't happened yet. Players play with players going elsewhere every year. It's part of the game and they know it, so if he's not trying 100%, they'll let him know, so I can't see it being a major problem for them.'"

He is not a huge loss to you IMO, Leon is what makes you tick when on the island!!
Eastmond is very over rated and I feel sure he will be back to RL very quickly for the simple reason he will fail to find anyone who panders him like saints did..
as a saints fan i would feel very let down by him personally

Tbh, I don't really care what he does when the season has finished and he goes over there. |

I think I'd rather he does a Lee Smith. Stays there for 6 months, hates it and comes back to us on a much cheaper contract.
The whole debacle has been mishandled, and bar the walking off on Friday, I'm not convinced it's all been down to him despite him getting all the blame. I think the delay in the announcement has been due to a combination of factors, but mostly his adviser (who let's not forget has previous with us) and the club. |

| Kieron Purtill says on sporting life ""Ultimately it wasn't a financial decision......".
Strange that, I've just watched him on Granada reports saying we couldn't compete with the Yawnion salary cap. WTF?

I just hope, as fans, we're able to conduct ourselves with a bit of class here.
Booing / abusing him from the terraces can only have a negative impact on the team, and whatever your thoughts on his decision and manner in which he went about making it, there are 16 other blokes out there in the red vee who are worthy of playing in front of positive support.
You might feel he's shown a lack of class by turning his back on the club that has invested in him at virtually the first opportunity, but we can rise above it as fans - and must do to prevent the rest of the season descending into pantomime.

Have to say I agree, although i don't know who his current adviser is. |

Apparently, he has always wanted to play union, that must be why he has played League since the age of 11...

To be honest what do you really expect him to say? If it really is all about money he'd hardly come out and say it. It just makes me laugh when those jumping ship talk about 'challenges' when in many cases they haven't actually done/won anything much in league. If you want a 'challenge' how about a really big one - trying to help England compete with Australia in RL.
