I got it off the Wasps website, I struggle with quoting pages on here I'm afraid!

Even if Eastmond can get back to being an above average league player (which I don’t have much confidence about) why would we use such a slice of the cap (even with the dispensations) in such a player when that sort of salary would get us a really decent current centre or half? Got nothing against Eastmond but why the sudden love-in over him? He was a good developing player with some faults before he left. Now he’s past his peak in Union and suddenly he’s the answer to our problems? I’d rather take a punt on offering Jake Trueman a huge contract, at least he’s just starting and shows potential. Jordan Turner is a better current stand off option than Eastmond. Or Lui.

...you have to realise that scoring tries don't happen at RL regularity. Sometimes you don't even get tries in union...that doesn't happen in league.

That sounds a bit boring... I hope ITV never show it on prime time TV on a Saturday afternoon.

Given how long the ball is actually in play for in Union, 8 games is probably the equivalent of 3 RL games, not having a pop btw mentioning it in relation to match fitness
