Mmmm... not convinced. If he was here on a cheap deal trying to earn a contract I’d be all over it, but it’s an expensive gamble. Still, Moran’s money not mine so who am I to argue?

Re: Kyle Eastmond : Mon May 28, 2018 2:52 pm  

I think the biggest gamble will be the achilles injury that he has. If OK I think he'll still be a very good running stand off. The big problem is that there are not many about who want to play in Super League.

Why would we wait for 2019? He is available now. I wonder if Roberts will get his release and Eastmond comes in..

Re: Kyle Eastmond : Tue May 29, 2018 6:42 am  

With the potential of Brown retiring and Roberts returning to Oz then we need to taking action now rather than later. Like most I’ve not seen much of Eastman over the last few years and his injury record is also a worry. Could we have Eastman and Patton as our halves in 2019?

Re: Kyle Eastmond : Tue May 29, 2018 6:44 am  

And rumours about Patton to Wigan which further fuels the fire.

Re: Kyle Eastmond : Tue May 29, 2018 10:14 am  

It will take him a few weeks to adjust, not years like someone said.

Plus he’ll likely play stand off. Maybe centre inside Charnley because Atkins keeps passing to Charnley too early, it’s like he’s not got the ball handling skills of s true centre and he’ll move to back row?

There are loads of options for the lad in our team because we have a few non-specialists, utility players and players who are either not good enough or won’t be here long term.

i'm not convinced, saints shipped him out to play centre in his last season before leaving, i seem to recall him being a bit chris bridge esque in style.

He'll do for me then

These are his Stats while at Wasps:
16/17 = 16 appearances and 2 Tries
17/18 = 8 appearances and 2 Tries
Hardly inspires confidence.
