Needs to work on his fitness, was absolutely knackered part way through the 1st half. Staggering around like a drunk. To be fair, its been a while (bar 10 mins against Hull) since he had a competitive run out.



Eastmond - what impresses me more than his pace and elusiveness is his excellent kicking game, and tonight, his fantastic goalkicking. Turning into a rounded player.

20yrs ago Mylers dad scored in Wire's last victory here, 20 years later his son got owed big time

Thought Eastmonds all round kicking game was outstanding.

For me it was noticable that Wires purple patch was when Wellens went off and Eastmond went fullback. During that period we got a bit disjointed with some poor play options in attack, with the defensive structure being stretched on Deans side.

The thing about Eastmond is he is looking extremely difficult to tackle, you can almost guaranteee he will break the defensive line at least once a game, and once he does its try time.

not really, tbqh we played the worst tonight than we've played all season by a mile yet still managed to keep it to 10 points. at the end of the day it's two points lost. saint's wern't outstanding either i wouldn't read to much into this result.

£200k wasted and you know it

Eastmond is class. pace, power, kicking and with time he will run the team and become a complete scrumhalf.

He's perfect to replace longy. A match winner.

Eastmond is special. He is so good I cannot imagine that Union won't be getting their calculators out and working out how much they can give him to move over. He's just a sensational athlete. He is quicker off the mark than any player I've ever seen, including Mr Robinson. When he ran through Morley and Carvell tonight, he stumbled onto a hand and a knee. Yet he still got up and outpaced the line and made the fullback look rather silly. Utterly sensational.

You muppet!

I actually agree it means nothing but i can guarantee you'd have cummed in your knickers had you won. Unlucky

maybe but we can afford it

please explain, i was correct in my post

iam not hes biggest fan but flannery had a top game tonight

that eastmond try- superb. i have to say that we seemed to control the game for the most part. your forwards were excellent though.
it's a really weird one. i felt we were the better side but we lost again- gidley who was back from injury was superb. even
meli caught his passes. jammer was solid and i think think his leadership got palutua and the rest of the forwards firing. i'm
really gutted cos i thought we could bury the saints whoodoo. gutted but fair play.

as i stated a few weeks ago we arent far off RU's money (they're highest paid player is on £350k) so give him the farm to stay

he made a couple of efforts for some of these tonight

I think that's a neat way of describing digging deep. We were worse with the ball, making more errors than you; we lost our way a bit defensively as Kyle isn't Paul Wellens and we badly missed Wello's organisation of defence. But I think just after your final conversion was missed, the crowd lifted and Saints just dug deep, stopped the slide and found what they needed to win the match. Losing that match was not an option. They knew that! The hoodoo cannot be broken during our last season in KR!

Unless we get Wire at home in the C.C ?

Or the play-offs [size=50(if we get there)[/size

Kyle's kicking game was excellent tonight. The difference between his kicking and Longy's is that Arnold finds the floor and usually turns the defence. Our chase game was superb to back that up, too.

Ickle Kyle is coming along just nicely. A long way from the finished article, but too hot for the Wolfs to handle tonight. Some of his field kicking was sublime. A joy to watch off the back of a platform set by the pack.

the question has to be can you keep him when English RU comes a knocking on his door with a big bag of gold???

Was highly over excited and unattentive but am sure he did Morley twice - he's a fearsome unit

he did myler too

Put it one way, he wont be going Sale. They're in a mess and are counting the pennies (Skint). The way Kyle keeps talking in the press it sounds like jis planning on staying around for a long time in RL as he always mentions the 7 jersey for England.

He'll also know that he will be on the wing if he goes to union and i dont think he'll like that one bit.

I think you also have to take the current state of the English RU team into account. I mean, guys like Jason Robinson and Henry Paul had plenty of freedom to put their talents to use behind what was the best pack of forwards in world rugby. But today the English team is a bit of a shambles. Martin Johnson - who had plenty of mouth when it came to bagging guys like Brian Ashton - has proven to be a disaster. Considering he is an all-time great forward, he has demonstrated remarkably little ability to knit his pack into a cohesive unit. When they're not trying to barge through a brick wall of defenders the backs are pretty hopeless. The only player with any real aptitude for top flight play is Cueto, and he's past his best.

So if Eastmond has thoughts of becoming as big a name as Robinson he should forget them. Without a pack of forwards to protect him he'd get creamed time and time again. Not a pleasant experience.
