That's a ridiculous post.

We did look average as a team in 2 of them, but he stood out in the first, and played very well again last night. In the other which we lost he went off injured with plenty of the game left, and I very much doubt we would have lost had he not gone off.

Delaney has looked excellent in all 3 games so far.

I thought he took the ball in really well last night and defended resolutely.

In a game that was not for the outside backs I thought he shone as much if not more than any and I include Inglis in that.

Eastwood is quality. Just what we needed this year, and even with all our success over the past few years, is the sort of player we have missed. And I only see him improving once the weather gets better, I would guess the boggy pitches wont be suiting his style. Very quick for a fat lad, he's the sort of player you would dread lining up against. You know he's a handful to put down in attack, and you'd be having half a look to see if he was steaming your way in defence. He does miss a few tackles because of his tendancy to go for the smash, but I'm more than happy to allow a few missed for the entertainment of seeing a couple of super shots. Even though those misses might one day cost us, I watch for the entertainment.

As for Delaney, I think the fact current golden boot winner Greg Inglis was fairly quiet and rarely looked dangerous is testiment to Delaneys defence. Not a bad performance in his first game back from injury.

On the defence note, I also think big raps should go to Danny Mcguire. He put some great shots in last night and stopped the ball getting wide on numerous occasions. He has had some criticism in the past for his defence, which I have always thought was a tad unfair.

Thought he had a massive game last night. Made good meters, and put in some huge hits.

When Slater broke, I though it was try time. Couldn't beleive Eastwood ran him down.

Eastwood was asked to do a monster stint and closer to the ruck.

There's a reason he has been used as an interchange prop for the last two seasons in the NRL. It's what he does best.

Greggs Feastwood is a legend End of!!

Bluey said that Eastwood qould become a cult hero with the Leeds fans and I think he's part way there already. Not only did he wallop their forwards about all night long, he also ran down Billy Slater. In attack we didn't put together too much all night, but as already noted, when the pitches harden up Greg is gonna take some stopping going forward.

It's not often you see this from me but I'll hold my hand up i'm wrong about delaney.

Nowt wrong with that my list is fooking ginagerous!!

Fair play to you Danny

My post on page 2 of this thread is cringeworthy.

Greg Eastwood certainly looks the part at this moment in time, Some fantastic hits in defence solid hard running going forward, Finally a replacement for Gareth Ellis?.

Not until he develops into an 80 minute player.
He's different to Ellis, more akin to Ali as an impact player.
Looks good as that.
