I'm not comparing eastmond to dixon or ashurst.

I'm saying why isn't eastmond been signed on longer deal like the other kids?

Please feel free to go back and show where.

Do you believe or not that someone came to me last night to tell me about Eastmond.

If you want to call me a liar fair enough, that's your call, but there were three other people with me who can tell you that it DID happen.

The Perpingan story was NOT about about a Saints player it was about an ex Wigan player now at Hull, and was also true.

Two of the Saints players I have referred to in the past as "being a problem are no longer at your club, one at Celtic and one has had more clubs than Jack nicholas, Quins, Cas, Salford Widnes etc

Was I correct?

when i say long term deal i mean 5-6 years, probably on very good money, whereas the other lads are probably on less.

Kyle was pretty good last night, yet again Leon did nothing to help him out though.

Hopefully Potter has the backbone (i doubt he does) to keep Longy out of the team when he is fit, assuming Kyle continues in his current form.

I agree entirely. I was trying to speak about presence on the pitch, which should be there naturally, as with Tomkins (who is the same age, isn't he?). His craft will be learned over time, but the raw potential should be obvious every week, surely? Or maybe scrum halves have quiet matches?

As for the point about contracts ... either the club aren't willing to commit as yet or Eastmond isn't. Either way, I'm not worried. I'm just glad we've snapped up Wheeler.

I think Leon was too busy trying to get the rest of the team to play as a team! Did you not see him yelling at them all the time? He was working his butt off but sometimes it looked like he was doing it alone, Jammer and Wellens excepted.

Why do people have this blind hatred of Leon? It's ridiculous. He was our best player last night by a long way, I've rarely seen a player work as hard or be as committed as Pryce was last night.

sorry i don't agree. IMO Kyle is showing more than enough raw talent every week.

I also think we are fooked without Kyle as he the only player who looks like making a break.

I think at this moment in time with his attack and his goal kicking he is the most important player.

I,ve been impressed with Leon Pyrce this season, he's doing a lot of good stuff that often goes un noticed, in defence for instance, for example Friday nights double tackle on the 2 wigoon players. He never fails in being in position for the 2nd phase attack. What annoys me is when he isn,t making breaks and scoring trys people say he drifts in and out of the game when he is actually doing the "un-noticed stuff".
Can,t wait for Eastmond/Pryce(Little and Large) to fully click into place, then the opposition will have something seriously to worry about.

I agree. Leon does work hard even when he ain't at his best but if you ever mention wilkin going missing nearly every week the is a uproar.

Leon is a born winner and that shows on the field.

Any criticism of Pryce on last night's performance is utterly ridiculous IMO. I didn't think he was MOM but he tried everything to break their defence down. Don't forget, he is having to try and form a partnership every bit as Kyle is.

jammer was by far best player on pitch

Now, that I do agree with, especially at present with our injury/illness woes.

That annoys me too. He is everywhere, working hard defensively and popping up as needed, usually to make a great pass (one of which would have made a great try last night had Gilmour not dropped the ball!) or kick or whatever. He's had to be a man with a mission this season given the absence of Long (twice) and others.
