I wouldn't go that far as to blame eastmond for everthing this but he's obviously played a big part in are terrible start.

He can't be blamed for our very poor defence, lack off effort and so on.

Let's hope last night put some confidence back in to the squad we kick on now and go on a good unbeaten run.

What has any of that got to do with what I posted? I think he's starting to show weaknesses defensively, but he has been for a while, but his reading of the game has covered most of that. Defensively he's probably still the best in the league at full back, offensively, amonget the worst.



With such a fantastic supporting game I expect he's near the top of the try charts then? Oh, no he isn't. The ball too often dies in his hands, which is the problem.

And did I say I would?



He scored a typical back rowers try, 5 yards out through a big gap, hardly sterling full back play. He had a good game last night, I'm not saying he didn't, but his kick returns have been a major reason for three GF losses against Leeds (and I'm not saying I think he was solely at fault), and they are getting worse.



It isn't, but it's a major asset in the position and you'll never be a truly great full back without it. Wellens reading of the game has been exceptional and covered many deficiencies in his game, it's something Webb (as you brought him up) doesn't have, but the game has changed and being a purely defensive full back gives the team major limitations.
