Booooooooooooooooooo!!

Yeamo

Short range......seen Yeaman go in from distance a few times and he isnt as slow as some think.

I meant your views overall....i rember my thoughts on the play-off defeat and Saying long was in Dobsons back pocket and the reasoned debate of you was....whatever and a threat of a ban.

Yeaman as a youngster was a very skilful strike player in the academy, he was given his debut under McRae and was too small and not strong enough at SL level, he bulked up a bit and came back strong enough, because of the players we had he played a bit of back row and bulked up further, a bit too much in my opinion, playing outside Cooke he ran good lines and with his strengh and fend scored a lot of tries and was very effective, without that quality service I don't think he offers too much else though, he is still a decent player but I don't think we will ever see him regain his form of 2006.

Yet you thought Craig Hall could be!

on my 'Edit

' comment, I was actually joking. Just to clear up! I am a big fan of Yeaman and still rate him very highly.

I still think Hall has the skill set to be a top class centre. What's let him down is mental toughness. I guess we'll see if he ever overcomes that and realises his potential.

As to your other points, we'll have to agree to disagree. Yeaman may yet prove me wrong and become the centre we've been lacking since Barnett Snr retired. I personally doubt it but I guess stranger things have happened.

He's not sharp enough mentally for me. Part of the reason his backing up is poor is because he gets taken by surprise too often or is in the wrong place on the field to be able to back up a move.

But he is alert when he scores from kicks or makes the short run off Manu. I think the problem is people remember Barnett and there are not many centres if any in the whole of SL that could lace his boots.

That may be part of it, but IMO there have been and continue to be plenty of better centres in SL than Yeaman. Granted not many of them are English, as the recent display in the 4 Nations rather clearly demonstrated.

Which is why I still maintain Yeaman is still one of the top centres in this country, along with Senior, Gleeson, Atkins and Shenton, all much of a muchness.

Agree with that, apart from Atkins. He's a liability IMO.

i agree , could never understand why he was picked for GB, was courted by Leeds, warrington and wigan when his contract was due to expire last and why macnamara wanted him to go to this years party down under...

and will walk into the international squad at the end of this coming season..
he suffered a few injuries and the baby wore him out plus other issues but this year he will shut everyone up and i hope everyone will hope he does too

consumate professional then?

I wouldn't get away with poor performance at work because there was a new arrival in my house.

He gets picked for England because we don't have much choice, he's fairly average (as many have stated)

There is a dearth of even decent English centres. An on-form Yeaman compares pretty favourably.

He does need to up his game and hopefully pressure from Berro, Whiting and Turner will help him. If he does then we will see the benefit.

yeamo would walk in to 95% of teams in super league.

and i also believe turner will improve dramatically next season.people seem to have forgotten,he is young,and had one season with us.

In your opinion.

Id sooner have kept Hall.....Turner offers us nothing...he is another Graeme Horne.

attacking wise hall was better,but defensively turner is more solid,and scored tries when the opportunity arose.

Hall scored tries when opportunity arose and created his own as well......Depends what you want from your centre really.

Completley disagree.
I think Turner has the potential to be a great centre. The moment it clicked for me was when he scored a try this year at Leeds in April and I remember thinking what a great 'centres' try it was, ran a strong angle and with pace to finish.

A strong running defender.

In my opinion, Hall was neither of these.

Turner is a good defender and I believe his running will get better with time.
