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

Yeaman is a very good english centre and although a little disrespectful to my club if he'd have played for Saints, Leeds or Wigan over the years he would imo have scored shed loads of tries and proved to other supporters of the game what a good player he is. He hasn't always got the service he requires at Hull due to the fact that we haven't had 2 half backs since 2006.

Martin Gleeson is a complete different class to Yeaman as FC fans will soon workout for themselves. I rate Shenton and Bridge also above Yeaman and would also play Joel Tomkins there before him even though he has'nt completely adjusted to the centre position as he has the potential to be imo the best English centre by some distance. For the Exiles i'd go with ...

S Tomkins
Watkins
Shenton
J Tomkins
Briscoe

I dont think Gleeson will be playing again for England even though for me he's the best English centre we have. I rate Watkins and he looks a classy player but is'nt experienced enough or composed to play at centre yet he gets exposed way to often at centre.

Why do people keep picking Watkins?! What has he actually done other than play for Leeds?
