Youv'e got to love that quote, haven't you.

Union sees him as the finished article due to his ability to break the line and kick.

What line?

I think the latter talent will be more to their liking.

The first line of 2 big fatties they mean and then the next line of 2 more fatties then the next made up of 1 fatty then another line and so on and on and on.

The best player that ever lived couldn't scored a decent try in Union because theres just bodies all over the place and no structure to a defensive line.

Jason Robinson could beat 3 men in league and be in the clear for a try......if he did that in union he'd still have another 8 or 9 players to get around.

This story has been running for months and isn't news.
Just Swanny trying to get publicity away from League to kick and clap in Stockport during the end of season for League.
Neil Barker has gone with it as it's probably a quiet Rugby day.
Could have been written anytime and they've decided to run it today.

Eastmond to Sale is a done deal already apparently.

I hope not, I don't blame players for going when they are at the end of their careers but what will Eastmonds exuse be exept I went for the money? That's the only reason because union is crap and if he does go I hope he fails to the highest degree but if he stays in league I hope he is a world beater (only when he doesn't play Wigan )

I hope he doesn't use the Chris Ashton exuse of 'I wanted a new challenge'.

Massive loss to St Helens and RL in general IMHO.

I agree, I would respect him more if he simply said league couldn't compete with the money offered to him in union.

That being said, it would be a very small amount of respect as the lack of loyalty shown by the Eastmond and Ashton's of this world really disappoints me.

Or pose in a Sale shirt before his contract runs out.

The guy (swanton) used to be wigan media man or something like that he is trying to get publicity away from the PO and just trying to unsettle us league people tell him to try and get a proper attendance at stockport first.

Would be their first real loss to RU, unlike Wigan.

Shame IF he's going out of the game, but if it weakens Saints then that will do for me, didn't see many tears over Billinge Lump for us when Faz, Robinson, Ashton left for the other code.
