Always rated Eastmond as a real attacking threat. I bet he'll still be a handful at times but obviously he will have lost some pace. My concern would be his durability as I reckon he has had a few injuries over the years. Stanley Gene he is not.

TBH i was surprised to read he is still only 31....he seems to have been around a long time.

Turns out it made zero difference. Had added nothing and we won nothing.

Eastmond will actually be a young 31 too as he's missed so much through injury.....
Big gamble by us but we were desperate abs without a fit half for the season. Walker out fir season too, we had to do something.
Personally I think we'll see flashes of brilliance, but we'll be lucky to get 10 games out of him.
Signing generated plenty of interest though....
Ala Inglis.

Challenge Cup?

I thought about the CC but I don’t recall him playing in the rounds.

meh

In terms of financial risk, its probably less of a risk than when we were reportedly interested a few years back, he was supposed to be on around £400k per year at Wasps, so even with a 50%, then 75% exemption in his cap value, and with a lower salary in RL he still would have taken up a big chunk of cap with no guarantee of success.

I would think his salary demands would be lower now, presumably the interest wasn't as strong from RU this time around.

Adds a bit of intrigue to the season, be interesting to see how he goes.

I guess you mean me , i actually only ever criticised one signing you made so please do not make things up . To answer your question i am disapointed in the signing of Eastmond as i feel he has lost his pace which was a major thing in his locker , plus also he is injury prone , i guess with the injury situation we are in the club see it as a relatively cheap gamble on the salary cap .
Sorry for coming back on here as i said i would wait until you won a Grand Final before i did so , but i just wanted to put the record straight .
Good Luck and maybe it will be your year ! , although i feel Wigan and Saints are a fair way ahead of you and that bit more ahead of the rest .

No, it wasn't you.

OK , Thanks

Might have been me, I criticised the Inglis signing, but secretly wish we had signed the great man!!

No, not you either

I can't remember! If they turn up, I'll remember.
