No, I think he's doing as well as we expected. We knew he was good, and he's proving that to be true. Obviously people have different expectations of players, and for me I expected him to step up to the plate when he got his chance, and he has.

I'd much rather him have a consistant season in being 'good', and continue to improve and develop. Than have him have one season of him being amazing, just for him to drop off in the seasons to come like many players have before.

Eastmond played well. Sam played well. What's the point of arguing who's better at this point, give 'em some time to establish themselves ey? I just hope they can develop into a partnership that can finally give the aussies some problems.

It's a frightening/wonderful prospect!

wake up and smell the kangaroo dung!



for every eastmond or tomkins we have, the aussies have three of them

they may well do, but they can only play one at a time

:clap:

Yes but we also have Myler, Ratchford and Wheeler who will be very good players.



We have some very good young forwards and now we have some very good young halves. If we could just get some outside backs we might actually give them a game every once in a while.

It didn't stop New Zealand winning the world cup though did it.

Martin 'Erm...' Offiah said he's a mixture of Jason Robinson, Muhammad Ali and Ellery Hanley. He could quit RL for union, boxing or ice skating any minute now...

that is quite right! but i didnt mention world cups i said for every eastmond and tomkins we have the aussies have three! If you england had won the world cup then i would have tipped my cap at you

the point was more about strength in depth to allow for injuries and such like. If you know about rugby you would agree with my comment and just move on with the thread surely. As for the nz world cup win over the aussies, well the sun shines up a dogs backside some days. Reference the salford win over us
