Potentially a fantastic talent. Wigan tried to sign him as a junior but Saints pipped us. Sam T was taken on a pay as you play come water boy understudying the Coyle Brothers. Amazing how things change.

Can't see him coming back to RL while he's in the England set up.

At junior age groups Eastmond had the better of Sam. He actually supported Wigan as a kid. Would I have him at Wigan, YES, he has all the ability but he needs confidence.

I rate Eastmond incredibly highly. Re Sam, to be fair until he had his post 16 growth spurt he was very much an average player.

Spot-on. Eastmond has fantastic footwork and speed to burn, opposition teams are terrified of him. He is very much like Sam in that he is capable of producing the impossible whilst at the same time he creates space for team mates to exploit.

Having been to the promised land and found it not to his liking, his attitude may be different next time around!
