Yeah i agree it is totally up to the RL to sort this problem out and financially reward our best players for being at the top of their profession, this is not just a problem in England either though, with some of the
aussies/NZ great players leaving the NRL such as Sonny Bill Williams, Mark Gasnier.

you are right SBW he was mainly loose forward or second row but actually played some rugby for canterbury in the centre.

anyway my point was that we need to keep our own RL grown players in the game.

To be honest i think you're backtracking a bit now because you know you were wrong, clinging onto that last bit of hope

I've praised Eastmond for years on here, but I think that is getting a little too far fetched.

Potentially!!

He has a long way to go to get anywhere near as good as them but having seen Hanley and Robinson when they first came through i believe they weren't any better than him at his age!!

Does he? When ever I turn over to watch Toulon on ESPN he's never playing. Has he played a game for them this year?

What a waste.

I doubt his bank manager sees it that way.
