Quote Fred Gee="Fred Gee"This rumour has been doing rounds for a while...rumours in this game are rife alot with substance but do not happen for one thing or another.
However Saints would be foolish to splash out that sort of cash with what i personally believe will in time be the best scrum half in the world in their ranks with Eastmond.'"

Oh come off it not even my mate at work who is a Saints fan would not be willing to peddle such tripe and he's seen the lad play a hell of a lot more than you.
I really hope he does go onto be a world class H/B but there is absolutely no way on this earth anyone could draw that conclusion just yet. He's simply not done enough, he makes the over rated Westerman look like a veteran.
I honestly don't mind other peoples opinions, I just like to have some logic as to how they reached them. Still if we are going to make totally unfounded and hasty prediction, Tomkins at Wigan is a far more natural and creative H/B - but alas Wigan will soon knock that out of him.
As for Brough, i don't think Saints would be at all foolish to sign a talented experienced H/B coming to the peak of his career - in fact they would be foolish not to.
