not sure he is mate. he certainly doesn't seem to relish the contact nowadays although that could be a legacy of his injuries

Yep!!

RU really doesn't suit those "Jason Robinson" style players does it!! "Jason Robinson" style players always come back with their tail between their legs. In fact... I can't think of a single "Jason Robinson" style player who's ever gone on to do anything in RU. Can anybody think of a "Jason Robinson" style player that's gone on to win the RU World Cup? or a "Jason Robinson" style player that's even gone on to represent England RU?

Hmmm.... who players a similar sort of style to "Jason Robinson" that's gone on to do well in RU....?

Who...?

Nope!! Can't think of anybody!!

Neither can I.

Jason Robinson himself has done okay, but can't think of any Jason Robinson "style" players (eg. Gareth Raynor) who have done anything.

Don't follow RU at all so forgive my ignorance but when does their season run??

Do I remember something about somebody somewhere going early to be allowed to take part in RU preseason? (vague enough for you!? )

Finishes in May, starts again late August/September.

And, other than in appearance, Jason Robinson and Kyle Eastmond are nothing alike.

So Pre-Season is what June/July/August??

Any chance they might try and want him for then?! I know if I was running an RU club I'd want him for then.

If he's any sense he'll go now before he really damages his ankle.
Sad to see him go for England's sake but not for the rest of SL's sake.
I wonder if Saints regret not keeping Mark Smith?

Or even Matty Smith?

If he wants to go, let him go. No point crying over spilled milk. At the end of the day if he wants to make a few bob its his life

Yeah that's the one, I knew it looked wrong as I posted it but I knew it would quickly be pointed out that it was wrong.
Thanks for not mocking as some on here would have done.

Sad day for RL loosing such a young talent but it's his life, his money he is earning.

Good luck to the lad I say.

Who will step in to his shoes now at Saints??
