Quote ="smileysaint"We will never win anything with the likes of McGuire and Burrow as half backs. We need to take the plunge Identify up and coming half back talent that is breaking through (e.g. Eastmond, Smith, Wheeler at saints to name but 3) and put them in the England squad. We will be embarassed anyway but why not use that embarassment to build for the future. Look at what it has done for Roby and Graham, they are up there with the best at an early age and IMHO it was throwing them in the deep end that helped their progression.
Finally Peacock never will be a good captain in my opinion. He is a workhorse and not a leader. You need to delegate as a leader and when things get tough Peakcock only know one way and thats to take it head on himself, unfortunatly sport and life rarely work like the movies.'"
Kyle Eastmond is too soft to play at international level, he struggles in superleague with with physical side of it, he has no chance of tackling Kite, Bailey, Blair, Vatuvai but it would be quite funny watching it
I can imagine Vatuvai running through him and after he has scored picking the splattered Eastmond off the palm of his had like a splattered fly on a windscreen
