Quote tonylRobin="tonylRobin"hes no ball handler though, he caused us trouble all game as said above, but i dont think hes a SH, he reminds me of Rob Burrow when he first burst onto the scene, a dip of his shoulder duck under the wouldbe tackler and hes gone.'"
One trick pony, until he learns how to pass a ball and be more creative he will be only average in my opinion.
Just like young Sam Tomkins. If these two are the future of English RL then I’m afraid we going to continue to get beaten by Australia and New Zealand.
Until we produce players of the calibre of an Inglis, Johns, Lockyer, Barret, Slater, C Smith or even Thurston, We will be light years behind the Aussie’s.
And I don’t believe that Eastmond and Tomkins are in this bracket.
In my opinion Michael Dobson would walk into the England team at Scrum Half if he were English, which shows that the Aussie production line is miles ahead of ours.
