Quote: rlcoach "I never said they can't play well together. I said I thought it was unlikely they would be picked, because they have similar styles. In my opinion Long and Pryce aren't similar at all.
It is also not just about their offensive styles, but also there defence. Long and Eastmond would both be targets.
They are both number 7s for me (Pryce is not a 7!).
I don't think it was an unreasonable point.'"
Not a go at you personally, sorry, more a nod towards what others are saying.
I agree with you, Eastmond is more like Long than Pryce. IMO he could play with either given a decent run with the same half back partner.
