Great backing up for his two tries, he's going to be a star. No doubt about it.

He even got in a couple of cracking tackles, which is encouraging given his injury of last year and being of smaller size than the usual present day RL player.

He's great to watch. I hope he just kicks on from here for us.

That's where I'd stick him as well, but we've had people calling for him to deputise for Wello, play out on the wing in place of Meli etc.

The 'utility' tag can hinder a player's development, IMO.

In what way does Eastmond look the same as the others? He's black and he's a midget!

Loved his involvement in the Dean try. Many would've got white line fever but he threw out a fantastic accurate ball for Dean to go over. You can tell he's got a good rugby brain.

It's not a good game to judge a player like Eastmond. We all know he's fast, can kick and has good hands. But how is he at directing a side around the pitch that isn't making breaks at will? How would he cope defensively in a high intensity game? We still have no idea how he will go at scrum half as he's not been given the chance yet. It's about time he was starting matches if he is going to be taking over the 7 shirt next season.

IMO eastmond should have started at 7. Long should have been made to fight for is postion.

I really beleive eastmond could have made it his own postion.
