Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"Eastmond's defence, while not perfect, is streets ahead of what it was. I've noticed, for instance, that he seems to have stopped running out of his line. Also he is not shy of defending these days. I think he lost a bit of confidence last season when he went in wrong on a tackle and gave himself a helluva shoulder injury (surgery required). His technique has improved, his effort has improved and his results have improved. Defence can be taught. Some of the superb plays he has made, however, have pure instinct written all over them. We didn't see much of that on Friday night but we saw a lot of it against Wire. Perhaps the event got to him, I don't know.'"
well he must have been bad before then.
fair play to the lad if hes working on it, but hes far from a good defensive player,
teams pick him and run at him........they run away from sam.
