He was bleedin fantastic yesterday. Organised the team well kicked well and took on the line.
Kudos to Gardner for that hit on Mathers though.

I notice how you didn't menshion Myler or Harrison

Myler is over rated and over hyped. And cost too much.

Bit like the Wolves in general then............

The heartening thing for me is that both Eastmond and Tomkins seem to be improving apace - not indicative of one season wonders who then struggle when people are keeping a close eye on them.

They could be a truly scary partnership for England / GB.

From what i've seen Harrison isn't in the league of a freakish player like Sam Burgess and Myler is still developing his game and isn't producing the displays that Tomkins or Eastmond are.

Nothing against the 2 of them, they're both fine young players but the 3 I mentioned are playing at a level above them.

I've not had much chance to watch Eastmond so far this season but having seen every minute of every game Tomkins has played I can definetly say he's improving his alround game. His kicking game and passing game has come on a bundle and he's playing more as an out and out halfback for the team rather then as an individual talent.

He's still got that magic moment in him though as he proved at Wire when he had possibly his poorest game in a Wigan jersey yet won us the game with a sublime individual piece of skill.

Like you say it's a scary prospect long term how good those 2 lads can become for England.

Eastmond is now firmly top of the food chain when it comes to young british halfback talent. He can do everything Tomkins does and then some. But his kicking game is fantastic and hes a matchwinner to boot.

Just like to say Jammer had morley in his back pocket last night. Gardner was taken in the air twice by Riley and silverwood ruled in their favour.Only mistake he did was the Gidley one, besides that, excellent performance.

I thought last night Gardner was terrible but i must admit that tackle on Mathers was excellent and when the saints fans where chanting his name i thought you two faced b......s.

This debate will go on for the next 10 years plus at the end of the day and nobody will ever really win it.

Sam added a real creative spark to his game this year and is turning into a complete halfback. Is he better then Eastmond? It's very tough to say but I certainly wouldn't say he's any less of a player.

I'm just thankful they're both English.

Did anyone else last night notice that Jammer and Harrison were having a right go at one another.

Yeah you are completely spot on as are many of your posts. Eastmond and Tomkins are shoulders above Myler at the moment as they can both step up and take control and have a wonderful kicking game, where as Myler needs to take more control (when Briers it out) but hasn't done.

I was one of them

Those two are the best two forwards in SL. If Jammers stays in SL and doesn't defect to the NRL I expect to see them two battle it out.

Kyle played very well. Played Myler off the pitch and scored a fantastic try, however i thought Graham was once again our best player on the night. Gardner and Dean were great defensively and going forward as well.

no I haven't....do they have more money than the English RU?...

The highest paid player in English RU is on £350k (all blacks prop at newcastle), that isnt out of any top team's reach

Honourable mention to the Brynolution who keeps on trucking.

Both!

no way would i be cursing him, imo eastmond is gonna be one the greatest sl players this country has ever produced. the kid has evrything and a pleasure to watch. i am just hoping sjm thinks the same!

Agree Hicksy, you never know Moranovich could make a big offer for him next year (not like he/we can't afford it) would Saints be tempted?

Saints latest boardroom recruit carries a dozen Moranoviches in his pocket as loose change.

I'm sure you are looking forward to spending big again in the transfer market, as you did back with the likes of Newlove and Sculthorpe.

You know as well as I do that just because somebody has joined the board that doesn't mean they will be prepared to pump their money into the club.
