I agree that both these guys have huge potential....Eastmond, especially, reminds me of Jason Robinson in his running style. Tomkins has the daring to do the unpredictable, though I'm not sure he has the skills of a Davies or a Woods.
I just think in the modern game many coaches are scared to death to let their 'individuals' off the leash....Its obvious that the players still have the neccessary skills, just witness the semi final try against Catalans when Briers chips across field to Hicks (and on it went....) or last year, when Riley chipped over the Bulls defence for a length of the field try....It's just a shame that players only try these things when games are safely in the bag.
