Coxy said:Unless it's a private issue I don't see why reasons for standing a player down should be secretive.
Agreed. I actually think it's a good move by the club and should be done more often. A lot of criticism of the coaching staff for such decisions often comes around because of the fact that we simply don't know what they're thinking.
Eastwood was easily one of our best last week and is hitting some great form. If he was dropped with no other word, you can guarantee this place would be flooded with 50 people whinging about Wayne Bennett.
But the club announced that Eastwood broke the rules and that's why action was taken, and everyone has pretty much accepted that.
