its fantastic looking at some of these players coming through and thinking how balanced it is beginning to look.

to be honest i think eastmond and tomkins would take burrow and mcguires places quite easily! cant eastmond also play fullback?

talent such as ainscough, sam and joel tomkins, eastmond and myler needs to be brought into the england team to see us having any kind of progression!

Finally we've found a goalkicker !!! Eastmond's kicking game was superb last night, he really turned Wigan around and he was the first chaser following the kick up to make the tackle.

I think it's about time we gave him a chance at taking the dropouts from under the sticks when he is playing. Wello tries his damndest but can't make the distance.

I was thinking same thing last night. We must have the worst goal line drop outs in super league. Let eastmond take them!!

Talking of eastmond, I don't like to big young players up as most don't make it but for me eastmond is the real deal!!!

If he can drop a goal from 40+ yards then surely he can get more distance on his drop-outs than Wello.

I agree, I don't know if any will be in the full England squad for the 4 Nations, although Ainscough probably has the best chance, but all these good kids should be in the England A team to get them the experience and get them playing and training together.

Great to see him back. Hopefully he'll get a good run in the team now because we'll need his zip later on in the year.

The drop goal was awesome, it looked very close to the halfway line

No it didn't, he was crossing the 40 as he kicked it.
