The game has changed a lot now. These days you can expect every side to apply that tactic. Go back even ten years and I bet sides that did use this were probably in the minority.

?? Really?? Its taken us 110 years to figure out that lttle guys have trouble tackling big guys?

Tommy Martyn told a story at a dinner the other week about Mike McClennan getting Sonny Nickle to run at Shawn Edwards. I don't think its such a revolutionary idea as you think.

Long, Briers, Burrow, Myler, Smith, Jefferies...I'm sure we could list plenty of half-back enforcers from SL.

After watching him rip Wire to bits last Saturday i'd rather he was injured than Long for our Semi Final
I remember Eastwood first coming on to the scene and saying to the Mrs that he'll be a man of steel one year.

Great prospect and a good talent but needs to cut out the back chat, could easily of been sin binned on sat night for it when in the refs face on a couple of occasions.

The guy looks a fantastic player and Saints did the right thing by drip feeding him into the team, however my only concern were I a Saints fan would be that he seems to be injured a fair bit, I would hope for the guys career that he doesn't turn into one of these players that never reaches there potential due to the fact of being in and out of the team through injury.

Never said Briers wasn't mouthy did I, just making a valid point about Eastmond. Typical response from a blinkered stains fan yet again !! Whiter than white your lot aren't they. Read on another post on here someone going on about Leeds back chatting and all the forward passes they get away with, you want to look a bit closer to home Saint have got away with blatant forward passes for years mate.

Easy tiger! No need to get shirty! I would prefer him not to be giving the ref any grief, but if thats his worst aspect i'll survive. As for blatant forward passes for years, ha! its all swings and roundabouts, for example carvells try, blatant knock on, you win some, you lose some
