Quote bestie1983="bestie1983"Amos played well for 10 games in 2 years goobervision and hoffman is a waste of money when we have farrell,tuson,mossop,hansen,j tomkins,hock when he returns etc going for 2 spots and as for eastmond he is one of the best backs in england when he is fit so yeah i would swap them players for him plus getting rid of 2 overseas players and geting an english player also with eastmond and tomkins we could have the english 6,7 for the next decade'"
You can't just ignore Eastmond's injury record; at present, that blows away any notion that he's a guaranteed England 6 for the next decade. For a youngster, he's on the treatment bench with alarming regularity. Sure, he may just have been astonishingly unlucky, but quite often this sort of thing means that either his body's not up to the game or his head isn't. In any case, in the few times when Amos fired last season, he looked 20 times more deadly than I've ever seen Eastmond (though admittedly I've only seen Eastmond's TV games).
At the end of the day, I'd love to have a talent at Wigan like Eastmond, but not the way he is at present, and not at the expense of the two players you mention. Now Roby might be another matter. If Roby was available, I'd seriously hope Wigan would be enquiring.
