Eastmond walks out on Bath RU : Sat Nov 16, 2013 10:33 pm  

Link He wants to come back to league. Question is, are there any clubs willing to take a gamble on him? He's a decent enough player, but seems to have quite the opinion of himself. So we should sign him up, he'd be a perfect replacement for Bateman

Wigan or NRL beckon imo.

Did come through around about the same time as the likes of Gaskell and Foster? Might have a couple of mates at the club but that's about the only reason I could come up for him coming to the Bulls right now.

I expect his wage demands would be well above what we could offer and as things stand we don't really need him unless we have any more unsettled players? He would be a bit of a risk though given his time out of the better code, might take a bit of time to find his feet once again.

TBH, he'd be an improvement over Gale. It's just his attitude that makes me wary

Premature speculation at this point.
Bath insist he is going nowhere, though do say they are helping him with "difficult personal circumstances"

I think he would settle back in very quickly. The Lancashire / Cheshire clubs would easily be the favourites for him but how many are now full up as time is passing and all clubs are back in full training. His attitude would be a problem so a strong coach would be needed. I too am looking foreward to seeing Gaskell and would switch Sammut to hooker on ocasions to fit all three halves in when one of the two hookers are injured.

Him & Hardaker at half back should go well for you.

We'd never afford him in a million years but I'd have him here if we had the cash.
