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

But, at the same time, we're aiming to win the GF at the end of the season, and leaving your first choice scrum half and play maker on the bench probably isn't the best preparation....

Everything is a compromise between success now and success more long term. So If you accept that, then that game was one to compromise on. It's not as we're not points clear if in the unlikely circumstance that it all wents tits up.

why does it matter who his agent is? Regardless of who is his agent, they will all do exactly the same thing to get the best for their client...if a young player wants to earn ridiculous sums of money rather than play for the number1 club - is he the type of person we want at Saints?

For me it mainly matters who his agent is when the same agent also represents another player that may involved in the same or related deal. In most other forms of business he'd have to declare a conflict of interest and only represent one side of any deal.

[quote="AJ Viking"]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.quote]

Eastmond can ask for longs money, and has, wether he gets it is another matter.Are saints gonna take the risk of not paying him and him moving on? i don`t think so, because this lad is special, you can keep your mylers i`ll have eastmond every day of the week.
