Personally, I think people arent giving Eastmond ENOUGH credit for his performance today. Ive seen Long throw upwards of 5 wayward passes, yet set a couple up, score one himself and the board go into overdrive about how good he was.

Yes, we should keep our feet on the ground when it comes to the youngsters but Eastmond was class today, in a team missing its 2 main leaders in Long and Cunningham, he stepped up and orgainsed us like a seasoned veteran against a team on a massive run of form and one that was always going to give everything they had against us.

Was it three or even tour years ago that I mentioned Eastmond as one to watch.

Superb talent, with pace to burn. I still have reservations about his defence, but I'm sure that can be fixed.

Sort his attitude out and he could go on to be a player that goes right to the top.

who in your veiw is better, eastmond, myler or tompkins ?

Very difficult.
Three different players.

Sam has the step and pace over the distance and is certainly the best defender.
Eastmond is physically stronger and has superb acceleration.
Myler is probably the better kicker/organiser.

All three are very talented played in their own rites, and I suppose it just depends on the team role they are given/required within that structure.

The best of the three.
I'd have Sam because he can probably do that bit more in the defensive role and reads that side of the game so well.

And in the last two years has come out on top in his "battles" at academy level, although I do appreciate that could be due to playing in a better team.

Finally, isn't it great to talk about three talented English half backs and hopefully we'll see them battling it out for places in the GB/England side in the coming years.


There's another young player at Warrington in their academy named Rhys Evans who is well worth watching. He's the best newcomer I've seen this season so far.

There's a surprise.
That's him, very impressive.
I know Blob you are not JUST a Saints fan.
If you get the chance go and have look at him, he is very good.

Please sign Myler and let Eastmond leave.

If you get Myler will be the biggest mistake since Wigan let Long go.

Future world class player had a feeling he would be the one who would cause us the most problems.

been a wigan fan it was strange feeling wanting you guys to win last night. From a GB point a view would be fantastic to see tomkins and eastmond at halves. if the lad carries on playing like that your gonna have a worldbeater on your hands. people rave about Myler and there is no doubt he will be a quality player but sam and kyle could be the future. eastmond pace off the mark is almost jason robinson esque but got a decent pair of hands on him as well. will be interesting to see how he goes over the coming weeks.

The King is dead....
Long live King Kyle..

Even shown that attitude I like from players giving the ref hell under the sticks.
Pace, passing & the rugby brain of a 30yr old.

Thanks for the memories Sean

Completely disagree. A stronger ref would have sin-binned him for the way he carried on and its something he needs to stamp out of his game right away.
A few words with the ref is something you expect from a cheeky halfback but screaming and bawling is completely unacceptable and is something some of the younger players in the game seem to be bringing in with them. It was interesting to see at one scrum, Garreth Carvell pleading with James Graham to shut up as he was launching his own tirade at the ref. The more experienced players in our game should do more of this and set the example to the youngsters so that our game doesn't go the same way as football.

Good game from Eastmond otherwise. A few poor passes, but excellent acceleration will cause problems for tiring defences late in each half

James Graham was pointing out the rules to the ref, you could pick that up on the mic
Listen most of the ref's are so far up thier own backside's they need knocking down a peg or 10.. Good on ya Jammer keep it going.

So Eastmond, Myler, Ratchford, McNally and Tomkins. Great prospects and I don't think I've ever seen such rich promises coming through at half back since I've been watching the game. Big thumbs up for Super League.

Eastmond and Roby tore us apart last nigh up the middle and around the ruck. Many of your breaks came through the middle as a result.
