Yeah someone else already pointed that out to me.Remember it's a back-ended deal though, so that's a little unfair.
I was wrong.

Depends on what you think is good I guess.Your memory is failing you like @Gotenks. 2016 he had a good year.
I quoted before what an independent 3rd party rated him in 2016 - RLW (& they were not overly favourable to Bulldogs players IMO)Depends on what you think is good I guess.
I don't think 53 minutes on average a game for 78 meters and 22 tackles is that good. With 2 tries and 2 line breaks all year.
Just my opinion but Any forward playing 53 minutes a game and is 110 plus kgs should be pumping out 100 meters or close to it minimum.
Not so long ago 100 metres plus was great. Now everyone seems to pump it out. Now players like Fifita and Taumalolo and others have changed the bench Mark to 150 plus. Imo 78 meters doesn't cut it.
Bro, don't even bother. The Eastwood fan club are so fucking delusional, it's like they don't even watch games of footy. How people think he was anything more than average these last few years is beyond me, they probably just remember the big flashy moments and ignore all the bits in between.Depends on what you think is good I guess.

Well you must have shit standards if you think he had a good year. He's been dead average these last fee years, a shadow of the player he used to be.Your memory is failing you like @Gotenks. 2016 he had a good year.
That's not my standards, it's RLWs!Well you must have shit standards if you think he had a good year. He's been dead average these last fee years, a shadow of the player he used to be.
Dont worry, we are all delusional *****. Oh wait. RLW must be as well.That's not my standards, it's RLWs!
I called him a fat lazy ****, i think that's a fair description of him based on these past few years. Yes all players suffered under Hasler but most still put in to the best or close to the best of their ability in the current conditions at the time, Eastwood clearly did not imo.Its not so much your opinions, its how you express them. Of course calling any bulldogs player a fat shitcunt doesnt sit well with most self respecting bulldogs fans!
Also the way you speak to others in regards to their opinions can be incredibly condescending and areogant.
I often agree with your opinions, but i get the feeling that if you spoke to memebers in person the way you do on here at times, it probably wouldnt end well.
This being said, and as you have also pointed out yourself, every player in a bulldogs jersey suffered under haslers reign. So i am giving all a free slate.
I doubt Eastwood will be a starter this year, and i also very much doubt he will get more game time then he deserves. Each and every player in our squad will earn theyre spot and then earn theyre minutes.
The RLW that doesn't even exist anymore? Ohh yh that one ayye.That's not my standards, it's RLWs!
Yeah i agree he has been well below his best for a while, but calling fat lazy **** is a bit over the top mate.I called him a fat lazy ****, i think that's a fair description of him based on these past few years.

So many weeks i saw Tolman, Graham, etc repeatedly get smashed carrying the ball forward, meanwhile Eastwood just bludged out wide set after set doing nothing. He would then touch the ball 4 sets later and instead of having a run, he would chose to throw some stupid pass. He would then eventually have a run few sets later. There were games where i could literally count the number of hitups on 1 hand, these were games where he played more than 1 half of footy, it was pathetic.
I'm so wound up because people on here (some of the same people) absolutely smashed Williams for similar things, yet his effort or workrate wasn't as bad as Eastwood. People also didn't seem to give a shit about his problems. It's fucking double standards.
Then you got the same ***** crying because i don't fanboy over their favourite players, they then go on to accuse me of hating every player. So what if i call a player average or call him out on not being great at everything like some people think, why does that mean i hate them or think they are absolute shit? There's nothing wrong with being an average NRL player, average NRL players still contribute to Premierships, they still put in the hours on and off the field, they are still capable of having very good games and potentially being some of the best players on the field at times. But what's wrong with seeing players limitations and talking about them and accepting them?
How he performs in the new year isn't relevant to any of this, the main point of discussion is his performance and decline over the last few years. The Eastwood fan club genuinely believe he has been great and that is nothing more than a blatant lie.Yeah i agree he has been well below his best for a while, but calling fat lazy **** is a bit over the top mate.
If you consider that someones life can spiral out of control when suffering from depression, then its fair to say their lives will excell in all areas when they are happy right? So if they are not suffering from depression because they have a great family life, yet are hating their footbal under certain condituons out of their control, then i think its reasonable to suggest that their form will suffer massively. Especially if you throw in his heart condition which could well have been a problem for longer then anyone knew.
My point to all of this is that you should perhaps step back and put your nasty comments in check, and then see how he performs in the bew year. If he is still shit, say what you like. But i think most people are taking into consideration all of the things i have just mentioned, and are instead trying to focus on the player he was, while giving him a chance to redeem himself. I know i am.
Been down that track when he was at the Broncos.I might even get smashed by Eastwoods relo again at this rate.
Nobody in this thread has suggested he has been amazing these past few years. But people who are fans are also willing to overlook the bad and see the good. Theres no reason he cant recapture that form.How he performs in the new year isn't relevant to any of this, the main point of discussion is his performance and decline over the last few years. The Eastwood fan club genuinely believe he has been great and that is nothing more than a blatant lie.
If he does well this season and proves me wrong then great, that's the best thing for the dogs and that's all thar matters. But the fact that people want to praise him for average and pathetic performances over the last few years really pisses me off. We wouldn't even be talking about this atm if certain posters would stop telling blatant lies and admit that Eastwood has been average, it's not even a matter of a opinion.
It was around for 47.5 years - not a bad stint.The RLW that doesn't even exist anymore? Ohh yh that one ayye.
Yeah I think I will just agree to disagree with them. LolBro, don't even bother. The Eastwood fan club are so fucking delusional, it's like they don't even watch games of footy. How people think he was anything more than average these last few years is beyond me, they probably just remember the big flashy moments and ignore all the bits in between.
Yh i will also leave it. What has happened has happened, if people want to lie about it then so be it. New season coming and if Eastwood steps up ands plays well then that will be great for the Dogs, if he doesn't then it really doesn't matter as we have better and younger players ready to step up and take the chance they deserve.Yeah I think I will just agree to disagree with them. Lol
If I was good at using the old computy I would put gif of Homer Simpson slowly stepping back into the bush right here----------
You've been calling him rubbish since at least 13 you merkin. I think you were actually happy with how shit we went in 17Yh i will also leave it. What has happened has happened, if people want to lie about it then so be it. New season coming and if Eastwood steps up ands plays well then that will be great for the Dogs, if he doesn't then it really doesn't matter as we have better and younger players ready to step up and take the chance they deserve.
