Billinge Lump knew very well what I meant as was evidenced by what he said next. He also happens to agree with my position
i think what the lump was saying is that he has more space to roam at 7 than a centre, or as saddened says in the initial question much more at fullback than any position, but for me he isnt big enough for full back, can you imagine Ryan hall breaking through with only kyle to runover? it wouldnt be pretty!
We only have to see how he combined with Tompkins in the world cup to see he has the class, but needs his 6 to do something, anything to help him except stand around like a lost soul!

He's had one good game at leeds in the CC. One good game in 3yrs imo is not good enough.

I think you're being a touch harsh on him there.
He's had many a good game, he's just not directed the team around like he did that day, but when you're being played as a running second rower like he has been how can you be expected to?

| Why can't Eastmond make a great scrum half? Comparing him at his age now to Lance Todd Legend at the same point in his career and it's Eastmond all the way for me. His kicking and passing game is superior to Long at the same stage and although he is a way from being the directing scrum half he has less to go than Lance Todd Legend did. In fact when Long first arrived and probably for the first four years or so the major criticism of him was in inability to manage a game and Saints around the field.
When Millward arrived it was noticeable how much Lance Todd Legend's game improved. With good coaching (and there's no reason to doubt Potter given what he did with Bosc and the Catalans half back's games) Eastmond will grow into the role. It's easier coaching that side of the game than it is improving passing, kicking and attacking the line. Certainly in the latter aspect Eastmond has that in buckets and you can't coach speed like Eastmond's either.
Eastmond and Tomkins at GB half backs for the next seven or eight years? Could be the best pairing we've seen in the modern era and will certainly be the best since Lance Todd Legend and Tommy God.

| You have to give Kyle and the other young players time to develop their games.
Even the likes of Andrew Johns werent legends at 20 years old. Infact Johns was 21 before he started to get any sort of recognition. He was helped of course in developing his game by his half back partner and older brother Mathew Johns. Infact Andrew Johns was around 24-25 before he started picking up the major player awards in Australia eg "Dally M"
