Eastmond is making that position his own with the way he's played in the last two game. He's good at kick returns and his link up play is good.

Eastmond cannot make ANY position his own. He is leaving at the end of the season, in case some people have forgotten! We want those players who will be with us next season to be cementing spots. Eastmond should be on the bench, covering for injuries. He's a great player but he should not be picked ahead of anyone.

If he's playing well and showing the correct attitude he should play if he's here next year or not. A eastmond in form increases our chance of winning something.

Should we drop jammed to the bench?

I was wondering when someone would use this argument.

However as Saint Pete as just said would you therefore drop Jammer because he is leaving?

If Pryce gets back fit starts wowing us with his RL but then says he is leaving to the Bulls would you want him dropped?

Last year with Emmitt , Johnson and Hargreaves leaving were you screaming from the terrace that they should not be selected as it was a waste of a shirt? somehow i think you werent.

So that's Eastmond and Graham dropped. Who we bringing in for Graham?

If Eastmond is the best candidate to play and gives us the best chance of winnings matches and trophies, he plays. Simple as that.

Jammer is taking no-one's spot. He is doing his own job. Not to the best of his ability IMO - I haven't been that impressed with him this season when compared to previous years even though his workrate is incredible - but we are not relying upon him in a false position.

You didn't get my point, clearly.

Which was?

Kyle for me. His overall game offers me from full back than Wellens IMO.

The point your making is that your biased and bitter.

Kyle is leaving and so is jammer, the is no difference at all. Maybe Kyle made few mistakes the way he went about it but that's all blown over now.

You said drop eastmond to the bench but play jammer because he's taking nobody's spot. Lms, TP and magennis will all be here next year.
