I think you're using him as a scapegoat, which is the easy thing to do because he appears to be leaving.'"
Thats a fair point on Eastmond, as an individual performance he was quiet but not awful, all HBs have quiet games, the difference being that the off-the-ball organising, moving the team around through the forwards and building the drive and ideas that all top HBs provide was absolutly absent.
This can't be put down to individual performance, he may be 21 but hes an international at the end of the day, it has to be down to a lack of interest, a division of attention, something that ain't right in his head.
