Eastmond can't demand Long's money, the reason Long is presumabley paid so much as he's been the best English scrum half for years.

There's a major difference between the Eastmond/Myler scenarios. Offiah can tell Myler to move so his talent equals trophies. Eastmond will pick up trophies at Saints so there is no better place for his to be, especially with Long moving on at the end of the season.

It's amazing that all these insights always come from posters on their first post.

I must say news that Kyle has Offiah as his agent worries me.

Agents can get good deals for players, and stop them being exploited, however the agents themselves often exploit the players and imo give them dubious advice, purely and simply so the agent can benefit.

I wonder for example if Danny Brough is under Offiahs agency, as it would not surprise me if Offiah would then try to do a double deal of getting Brough to Saints and Eastmond to Wigan or Wire.

Simply spreading the rumour re Brough could be used to unsettle Saints youngsters to convince them to move on.

Why should Offiah cause you any more worries than the current crop of agents do?

Kyle Eastmonds agent is Martin Offiah same has Myler at Salford, just hope Mr Offiah keeps out of his development and we don't end up with Eastmond asking for a huge amount of money or a transfer etc.

Martin Offiah will certainly want something to happen just to get his percentage of any movement on money/transfers retc.

swap deal and £50,000 for myler

Kyle hasn't asked for SEAN Long's money, whoever told you that is full of poop. Kyle want to play for saints and win things, If he performs his wages will look after themselves

Something is clearly amiss with Kyle Eastmond. In the precious few times he has played, he has made an impact in almost all of them. He seems to have it all, the cocky attitude, the passing game, pace, a step and a clever kicking game. Being a midget his defense isn't great but he could always hide on the wing like Long himself does. He seems a perfect match for our vacant scrum half spot next season.

This all makes it surprising that he isn't given any game time at scrum half, or anywhere for that matter. Games like the Celtic home game are perfect occasions to give him the time to learn the position in the side he would be leading the following season. But he isn't even in the 17.

It makes you wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes with his contract, another player signing in his position for next season or both.

If the club expect him to step up and replace Longy next season with absolutely no experience then it's incredibly harsh.
