Totally agree that Elliot has outplayed Eastwood this year.Unfortunately, I don't think Eastwood is NRL standard. For mine, Elliott is ahead of Eastwood and so is RFM for that matter.
With the inclusion of RFM, you'd hope that Eastwood would only be used for the middle forwards and not out wide. If Elliot needs a rest (Jackson can go the full 80), then RFM comes on.Totally agree that Elliot has outplayed Eastwood this year.
The only positive I can see with Elliot starting is hopefully when Eastwood comes on he plays prop or middle forward. His speed on the edge (or lack of) exposes himself and his outside men. I'm just hoping by him playing tighter he will tighten up the middle defence and picks up his game.
Eastwood isn't a second rower and hasn't been one for a while. With the emergence of Elliot hopefully he never has to play on the edge again.
Whenever someone from the team is interviewed, they always say ' we like to grind games out ', I'm guessing we enjoy playing in close games!Have we beat any team this year 13+ LOL
EDIT: Only souths.
Late Mail:
Bulldogs: Adam Elliott played for Country Origin just four days ago, but could be a late inclusion in the starting side after impressing in recent weeks. Greg Eastwood would be the man to drop to the bench if that happens.
Cowboys: Jake Granville passed a fitness test during the week and should be right to play, as will Lachlan Coote and Shaun Fensom.
Overrated tbhThankfully for us Green has dropped Pongia
Don't think you get an extra point for 13 plus wins tbhHave we beat any team this year 13+ LOL

Exactly. Funny it makes sense to everyone elseWith the inclusion of RFM, you'd hope that Eastwood would only be used for the middle forwards and not out wide. If Elliot needs a rest (Jackson can go the full 80), then RFM comes on.
But with Des you never know
your point?Don't think you get an extra point for 13 plus wins tbh
I'd love him as our fullbackOverrated tbh
Point is win by one win by 100 you get awarded 2 pointsyour point?
Granville and Coote are huge ins for the Cows.If the Tigers can beat the Cowboys in Townsville with Johnathan Thurston playing then surely the Bulldogs can beat them in Sydney with JT out.
