Luckless rugby league convert Kyle Eastmond has been given a week’s leave by Bath after suffering another injury.
The 22-year-old has been told by the club’s management to spend time rehabilitating with his family in Greater Manchester after tearing a hamstring in training, condemning him to the sidelines for another month.

Maybe this will warn off many RL youngsters for thinking about the money and fame rather than being focused on their career path ahead?
Maybe Rugby of any code is just not his game as his body cant seem to take it and he seems to have spent even less time on the pitch since he decided to move from RL.
I can see him being another Karl Pryce, a great hope in his youth who got too big for his boots and injuries and lack of motivation meaning he never became the player he once promised.

Kyle Eastmond is another Karl Pryce in the making

He always appeared to be injured when he played Rugby League and it looks like its continuing in union.

Not seen Eastmond play a second of union, but the comparison seems unfair as Karl Pryce was generally accpted as an underachiving lazy sod towards the end of his original stint in RL. I don't think you can really say that about Eastmond

May I be the first to say... Wrong Forum!

Apart from maybe learning how to warm up properly, how can a Rugby Union player tearing a hamstring be a lesson to upcoming Rugby League players?

Yes - precisely my question too
I don't "get" the OP really.
Think maybe Jason Robinson and Chris Ashton would have a view on this?
