You'll find a decent debate hard to find on most boards but in fairness to others your hardly the bastion of impartiality you claim to be your just a little more subtle with your insinuations and insults. I a couple of your posts and chuckled, you probably do have some decent points and personally I honestly cant just the point in slagging either player off...

And comments like that, which are like a fountain coursing from your keyboard, are why you - and note, you - will find it extremely difficult to find a discussion with 'the likes found here'.
We do enjoy laughing at you though. So please, go ahead.
I bet you can't decide who gives you a bigger hard-on now, can you? Kyle or Keiron.

| It was a good try. He's scored better. And he will score better.
For sure - if one of the Monkey People had scored it they'd be trucking in extra workers at the Vatican to deal with requests to have it officially ratified as a miracle and sure sign of The Revival - or is it The Reflux?

I don't insult anyone unless they really deserve it, and believe me, I won't be subtle when it comes to that. Some people read too much into my posts, I think. If you read them over and "keep it real", I've been nothing but positive about Eastmond and his talent. I have a lot of respect for him, and that comes from him not just being a very good player, but he's a very clean player. There's none of this "ego" you got from the likes of Paul Sculthorpe and Cunningham.
That's the worst bit, I'm TRYING to hate him because he plays for the opposition, but I can't. I want him to play for Wigan.
The ONLY point I'm making is that you CAN'T say he's the "only WOW player", and suddenly discount Tomkins, especially given Tomkins performances have been excellent in their own right.
Between the two of them, both Man of Steel and Young Player of the Year are up for the battle. Who'll win? It's too early to say.
Honestly, if you think there's a "subtle" insult towards any Saints player or fan in that, there's not. And what I've just said is EXACTLY what I've been saying throughout this thread.
Quote: No1 Saint "forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f
It's good to know The Raggy Dolls are as popular among under 8s as it was in the 80s when I were a lad.
(Note to No1Saint, I said I wouldn't be subtle with an insult, and I said I wouldn't deliver one to anyone who doesn't deserve one. I'm true to my word.)
In response, however, an amusing typo, whether deliberate or not, by someone who is absolutely NOTHING to do with me is NOT ammunition you can somehow use against me. And the camera is kept nearby, so what of it? I'm a keen photographer, and see no reason to be ashamed of it. I'm intelligent enough to know how to use one, are you jealous?
Quote: No1 Saint "He might be scum in wigan fans eyes, but hes still better than Tomkins.'"
That's just it, he ISN'T. That's ISN'T scum, by the way. If he is better than Tomkins, maybe he should have acheived more on Good Friday?
No-one from the Wigan camp is disagreeing he's a very good player, but thus far Tomkins outshone him in the last derby and won Young Player Of The Year last year. Last year's derbies were very close to call. Come the end of the season, maybe we can say for certain one way or the other. Until then I would say that anyone proclaiming one is better than the other needs to hold their tongue for a few months because it's far from settled.
Quote: No1 Saint "And comments like that, which are like a fountain coursing from your keyboard, are why you - and note, you - will find it extremely difficult to find a discussion with 'the likes found here'.'"
There's a strong case of double standards. Whilst I'm not discounting Eastmond's current level or potential level, I'm sticking up for the other big talent coming through in Super League, and to be honest, we're all being a little unfair because Eastmond and Sam are NOT the ONLY young talent around. More and more youngsters are stepping up in many different teams. Everyone's talking about these two because as it stands they are the brightest sparks, but apart from the Saints fans who are saying Eastmond is the "only WOW player", no-one is being so biased as to say "So and so is the best and that's it". We've established they're two great players. We've established they're different. Yet certain fans - and mainly Saints fans (but not ALL Saints fans) - are making claims that cannot yet be proven. Current records and honours denote that Sam is the better player, I myself have already said I think Eastmond will clinch those honours this year. In their next match, either one could sustain a serious injury and never play again, and I would mourn for Rugby League no matter who that happened to.
I'm posting balanced, fair comments, but because I'm not a Saints fan, some of your fellow fans are jumping on the "Insult Fishsta, he dares to post the truth" bandwagon. And it is frustrating because some fans CAN view things objectively, but they are drowned by the torrent of abuse coming from the moronically biased portion of your fans.
It's like in the Wigan Tactics thread, a Saints fan comments "There's a long way to go (in the season)", I say "Indeed there is", I get called a "cock". If I'd said, "No there isn't", I expect I would have received the same insult.
If people could actually respond with something constructive instead of resorting to insults, forums in general would be better places. As it is, the imbeciles concerned effectively admit defeat without even trying to contest anything I've said. Like I said, I don't insult anyone who doesn't deserve it.
Quote: No1 Saint "We do enjoy laughing at you though. So please, go ahead.
I bet you can't decide who gives you a bigger hard-on now, can you? Kyle or Keiron.'"
If I was a rampant homosexual, Keiron would have to take it because I wouldn't like his 29stone frame on top of me. Besides, I daresay Kyle is faster than me, and I would struggle to catch him.
Seriously, though, (and if anyone takes this to be some sort of sly insult then there really is no hope), Kyle and Sam have the quality at their disposal to not just become great players, or even legends of the game, but the potential to achieve "Best player of the Super League era".
If Eddie and Stevo are still around in ten years time, I will buy their latest Rugby League DVD (costing £673.99 because of the inflation) and I would not be surprised if one, or both, replaced Andy Farrell with that particular honour.
Tell you what, Saintsfan, if Kyle ends up higher that list than Sam, I'll buy you that DVD for Christmas. If Sam ends up higher than Kyle, you buy it me. We'll meet here ten years from now to see. (Yes, I do see the slight problem in that one of us has to buy that DVD anyway, so maybe we should just make it a tenner instead.)
Quote: No1 Saint "It was a good try. He's scored better. And he will score better.'"
Now THAT sums it up perfectly.

How do you reach that conclusion?
Castleford were a team not doing particularly well but for Danny Orr performing outstandingly. We signed him and he was a bit of a disappointment. I was excited about his signing because I expected great things from him, especially after the famous County of Origin series that I'm sure we all remember.
Tomkins has got good/great players around him who are all performing particularly well so far this season. Last season he stood out more because our team didn't gel quite so well around him and he raised his game.
Eastmond currently has that problem, he's standing out whilst you have a few shortcomings. Sure, there's some good/great players at Saints too, but whilst he's raising his game where some areas of your team are letting you down, I wouldn't tag him as a Danny Orr either.
I think you're being a tad harsh on Tomkins with that assessment.
