27 years old isnt he? In his prime and always seems to rise to the challenge. As mentionned actually played very well down under in the GB side 5 years ago but was made somewhat of a scapegoat for the NZ defeat.

Did actually play and score in the All Golds game in 2007 but got injured denying him the chance to play in the series against the Kiwis.

Yeamon’s understanding with Briscoe is that Briscoe understands that Yeamon will never pass to him

Imagine how good Briscoe would look if he had a wingers centre inside him

imagine how much more credibility your post would have if you could spell Yeaman's name

Same old same,win two games and they've got a team of world beaters all of a sudden.

Please accept my apologies for my spelling mistake, I promise I won't scour this site for any spelling or grammatical errors that you may have made as that would just be petty

So, you think that Yeaman is the a wingers centre then?

He's showing he is a quality centre so far this season, as most are commenting.

I think he is a good player

What I said was that he is not a wingers centre - a good wingers centre will make many opportunities for their outside man, I don't see this with Yeaman (and I'm not just picking on him, the same criticism can be levelled at Ryan Atkins etc)

Again, do you disagree?

Who is a good English "winger's" centre?

Him and Briscoe are scoring plenty of tries this year in a poor team. They aren't letting many in down that side (most of Hull's tries this year have come down Will Sharp's side as he is always caught on the overlap).

Yeaman seems to be backing up well and creating his own tries, as is Briscoe.

I don't see many decent left centres in the SL at the moment, and Yeaman is having a great season. He's not exactly old or past it. He's coming into the prime of his career, and he didn't disappoint the last time he played at this level. I think he deserves a chance, myself. Better than putting someone like Lee Smith there again (a real winger's centre!) or a youngster that clearly isn't ready and will probably just lose confidence.

Perhaps your problem is you think that one player makes a team? As that is all we are talking about here, one player. And you're talking about a team?

Even before we were actually playing well this season, Yeaman has been by far one of the few stand out players for us. Says something in a poor side.

I don't like Yeahman az e duz not pass the ball ded gud like Shenny or Meli

We don’t have many, that’s for sure

I think the closest thing we have to a classic centre, one who looks to make space for his winger with clever positioning, running and good handling is Bridge... all the rest are in the ‘athletic’ category... which is not a bad thing if we build our game plan around it (actually, that’s a disservice to Shenton who is also a pretty good all round centre). What I would really like is the strong athletic centres who were also wingers centres – like Miles, Newlove and Meninga. Luckily, it seems that Australia and New Zealand aren’t producing these players now either

Or, it could be that I’m getting old and falling into the ‘wasn’t like that in my time’ trap... who knows!

But Briscoe still has 7 tries for the season, so Kirk needs some credit for that too.

From watching Hull this season it looks like Yeaman is passing far more to his winger than he ever used to.

Not letting your Rovers bias towards him allowing to slip in there?

Edited for accuracy.

No need to justify him mate.Look at the leading try scorers.

One thing you can say about Yeaman, and probably the main reason for his popularity amongst Hull fans, is that he has a hell of alot of heart, he will never give up and will run and tackle as hard as he can for 80 minutes. He's hard as nails too.

I think it does him a dis-service to say he's slow too. He's no flyer but I've never really seen him found wanting for pace. He's probably on par with Shenton and he's certainly quicker than Bridge.

Maybe you should try & lift your Rovers bias for a minute, & take a look at the tries he scored over the weekend against Wire.

\Good to see you have something to add of value as always. Be you sit in front of a mirror thwapping away at your own brilliance.

pretty prolific,scored 124 in 238 games so often not needed to pass! but one of the biggest myths around! raynor had tremendous try record outside him and briscoe racking up a good 1 too! defence wise he is probably one of the best! shooting out of the line is his trade mark! had understanding with raynor so was covered when it didnt come off,getting that with tom now as well! but comes off more times than not! plenty of players been left on ground and even gone off after been hit and dozens over the years have lost ball when in good positions cos they know whats comming! on current form he's got to be a definate for exiles game!

Stats aren't everything but a quick comparrison (mainly for our Rovers supporting friends)

Yeaman vs Welham

Tries 11 vs 10

Assists 1 vs 1

Offloads 11 vs 5

Tackle Busts 36 vs 25

Clean Breaks 12 vs 6

Missed Tackles 13 vs 33

Other than Briscoe there is no real quality in our English 3/4's

Apart from Mcgivallrey(sp), Foster, Charnley, Shenton, Tomkins, Lomax, Williams, Bishop to name a few

Looking at the England and Knights squad, I think we have a number of three quarters who have the talent to become genuinely world class (if they are not there already)

For me, the young players I hope will come to the fore and make the England backline a real threat are Jones-Bishop, Welham, Arundel, Broughton, Charnley, McGilvray and Watkins

Add to this the more established players Briscoe and Sam Tomkins (who should be in the first group as a future talent but are established internationals), Shenton, Clubb, Bridge, Fox, Hall and Cudjoe

The potential backline below is full of talent

Sam Tomkins
Briscoe
Arundel
Watkins
McGilvray

That may not be the back line for England this year as Bridge and Shenton must be in line for the centre spots but it looks good for the future

Proves my point, cheers
