Former Kiwi international Greg Eastwood has hit back at The Daily Telegraph’s Phil ‘Buzz’ Rothfield after the writer dragged Eastwood into the David Klemmer contract saga in a story posted in today’s paper.

Other players, past and present, were quick to defend Eastwood.

Hey @BuzzRothfield don’t bring me in this whole Klemmer thing comparing his stats to mine it wasn’t my fault that’s the way the coach played me I was playing for the kiwis and took a big pay cut I didn’t complain because I loved the club and everyone involved

Mate @GregEastwood1 you’ve had a Stella career no matter what anyone says. I remember you debuting for @brisbanebroncos straight after school and blossomed into a legen d of a player.
