From talking to Bradford fans we haven't missed out much IF you're looking at the lad as a prop.
They too mentioned his size and said he looks a natural second rower.

He looked handy when i say him on the tele for Halifax but i'd guess NL is about his level.

I'm happy enough with us developing-

Prescott(who can get even better)
O'Carroll
Davies
Mossop


and possiby a couple of others.

When I look at some of our young lads it really does fill me with confidence for the future.

ps heard the rumour coming from the Saints board that union clubs are eyeing Eastmond?

It would be a huge blow for Rugby League losing Eastmond. He's got alot of work to do but he's a electric talent that the sport needs to keep hold of.

Hope Saints get him signed to a long term deal.

Until the salary cap offers an exception/discount for home grown players in first team squads, this will continue to happen.

RL cant afford to lose players like Eastmond.

You could argue it's better to lose a player than a club.

But aslong as teams that average less then 5,000 attendances are happy why should we bother about losing up and coming superstars

The game is run by the teams that bring the least to the party............it's incredible.

To be fair though, it wasn't just idiots from the smaller clubs. We've had lots of Saints trolls on here in the past - not so many now that they're struggling of course - who berated us for voicing opinions that the SC should be adjusted to allow us to pay young starlets a lot more. I wonder if any of them have changed their mind?

Hasn't he just signed a new contract at Wakefield anyway?
Not a name I get particularly excited about.
