Quote: Saddened! "Eastmond looks a lively player, but why does everyone assume he's up to replacing Longy? What has he ever done to suggest he could?'"

I think that's a very good question which not many people appear to be considering. It seems to me that he has a charisma on the field and does the wow things very well - like great long drop goals that take some cockiness in a player of his age. That can turn heads. But I'd like to see him play every week when we have to rely upon him because I have a sneaky suspicion he may not be consistent. I might be wrong, but it's just a gut instinct I have about him, amazing though he can be. Wheeler, however, I have found to be both an instinctive rugby league player and a reliable one, so far anyway (and I think I've seen them play about the same number of times now). I'd like to see Wheeler play every week too, to see how he performs over a long period. Both Eastmond and Wheeler have already shown they can handle pressure, which is very encouraging, as have a couple of our other guys like Ashurst and Lomax (but I do worry about that lad's head!). However, so far as two of our young guns are concerned, they really do need regular game time this season to seriously find their feet in the team and give them a chance of taking over spots next season.

Nope. But I'm not young Mr Moore who may think the place is fab and his coach is fab and Udders are the cows teats.

Considering he is only 20/21 he compares very well to the master of this position, in 3 years he will be at his peak

They may use Roby for impact off the bench, like now.

14 might be his lucky number icon_wink.gif
Roby is an impact player, he has shown many times that he is considerably less effective when he starts. The starting hooker should wear the No9 in my book.

Did he dream as a youngster of playing for Saints? I'm honestly interested because I didn't know that. Bless. icon_wink.gif

He definitely looks the business at Udders. If he keeps up his performance I'd be more than happy to see him take the place of Cunningham. Especially if he's got a heart for the club. The greater the number of talented players who want to play for Saints, as opposed to want to win stuff with a team that wins stuff, the better for the club.

Whenever he's been asked to fill in at full back, centre or SO, he looked like a reasonable talent with a lot of pace, but not much more.

Whenever he's had the chance to play scrum half from 1st receiver, he's looked assured and confident, he can run our plays as he should and has an astute kicking game. When longy was his age, he was just really fast.

I would suggest he's capable of being a very good SL scrum half.

Quote: FearTheVee "Until you're in a play-off place, I wouldn't "oh dear" too much.

That side should never in a million years be 9th, which for me just shows how poorly coached it has been all season.

The fact that you can pull out a decent performance against us just highlights how farcical your current position is.'"


If you had of watched all the games we have played in then this year then your right, we shouldn't be 9th. The only game all season where we have looked out of sorts was against Leeds at Leeds, every other game we could have won had and had we of been a little bit better then in the areas that we have improved now then those results would have been different, but those results are irrelivent now and stand as they are.

There's still a long way to go yet and plenty more points up for grabs, if and it's a big if we can continue over the next few months to play like we have been doing over the last 3 weeks or so then I'm confident that we will finish in a good position to get ready for another possible semi final finish in the playoffs. Anything then is possible, we're not as bad as some of you think we are and the next few months will prove it.

Losing at home to Cas and Salford?!

They're not irrelevant, they're why you're 9th.

Agree with that, but you may pay for the bad start come play-off time.
