Good riddance after the first 10 mins of the Hull game, 4 missed tackles a duffed kick and caught awfully in possesion. Surely Saints had an under 18s player better than that loser!

To be fair to him when he's got an international centre targeting him it's poor coaching to just leave it. Stick him on the wing and move everyone in a slot.

Are you serious? So if he was playing against an average centre rather than an ex-international he'd be okay? Or playing an average sport-oh he will be doing next year. 5 missed tackles, 2 awful plays where he's been scared of getting hurt and just thrown it to anyone but his own ego and a dreadful forward pass. Both tries down his side.

The most overrated player i've ever seen.

3 tries down his side.

Tim Smith could defend better than Eastmond.

My 2 year old daughter could. With an injured finger-aw bless his little cotton socks.

Doesn't look bothered to me, looks like he is going through the motions, and badly at that.

True it's poor defence, He'll be a far better player for going to Rugby Union.

He'll get ripped to shreds in RU. Can't wait.

Eastmond looks like a player who couldn't give a toss. He's completely disinterested in contact and playing like someone trying to avoid getting hurt. Ironic thing is that in our game, as anyone who has ever played it will tell you, when you try not to get hurt, you get hurt.

Think on Kyle...

He'll by a far better player in defence when the RU coaches get their hands on him.

Why? What evidence is there to support that bizzare claim?

He will not have any.

Ummm how about watching him play Rugby League?

Indeed. A very strange thing to come out with. If he hasn't learnt by now, growing up playing RL, he has no chance in RU, even with their superior defensive coaches (?!).

Ganson is a cheating get! This is not basketball, it's rugby league and a contact sport.

If it had been against Saints, with Hull being 2 points behind, then he would never have given it.

and then the "knock on" against Sharp trying to make a tackle, when the ball clearly played the man.

If Agar has any brains, he will come out and say that he thinks Ganson is honest, competent and has integrity, but when fans see decisions like that, you can see why they believe that some officials are either incompetent or simply bent.

I agreed with both those decisions. On first look my instinct was penalty for the taking the man out in the air, and the Will Sharp one was a definite knock-on. He extended his right arm further than is normal in a regular with the sole intention of blocking any pass.

Whether you call it a dangerous challenge or not (Keep in mind that Washbrook is nowhere near the ball in flight) there is an offside anyway. When Ashe drops it, it comes off Washbrook and is caught forward of that by another Hull player. Same outcome.

Same. Dangerous contact in the air, was lucky to land the way he did. Not sure how anyone can moan about the Sharp decision either.

Forget it, Ganson is a cheat.

Nonsense, he'll be able to hide five yards behind the defensive line, just like Hodgson, Wilkinson etc have always done down the years.

You're right about Hodgson, at least Wilkinson put it about a bit at the peak of his career.

Just a comment on this, I saw Nathan Ashe for the first time today and I instantly thought he looked like a player worries about getting injured. Does anyone know if he's carrying a knock or has had a bad injury in the past?
