You would never catch me with one of those childish signatures: |

8 of his 23 appearances have been at stand-off. |

But half of those other appearances are being made off the bench too, so who knows where he plays when he comes on. My guess would be 50/50 split which perhaps indicates he's played more of a stand off role than centre.
Put it this way, Bridge's figures should be higher than Yeaman's considering he's played more games, 8 of which have been in a much more prominent position on the field. |

| Quote: Fully "In which case why no call-up for Kirk Yeaman of Hull who has done marginally better in the majority of those stats despite playing less games?'"
Which stats are you looking at?
The official super league stats show Bridge has
-3 times as many try assists (12 v 4)
-50% more tackles (330 v209)
- twice as many tackle busts (65 v 37)
- 6 times as many marker tackles (47 v 
- 50% more clean breaks (15 v 9)
Yeaman has made more metres, however he has more carries so this is unsurprising, (Bridge has played in the halfback positions at times during the season).
Bridge's stats are pretty impressive but I don't expect you to agree on that. |

Should be but then again I dont think Yeamans as bad as some make out.
I reckon Bridges decision making is a lot better and he's sure as hell quicker.
Bridge aint a finished article but he's pretty nifty. Simply put, potential but been hampered with injuries for a few years in his development.
IIRC he was centre for England youths when they turned over the aussies that time
Just to compare;

He's played more at centre than stand off this season, basically filling in at 6 whenever Briers or Monaghan were injured, hence he's a better centre than stand off. |

I think Bridge's stats are good, and he does seem to have kicked on this season.
Try assists mean nothing in comparison because he's played stand-off - Yeaman doesn't. Therefore one would naturally expect his figures to be higher.
The other stats you have to remember that Yeaman has played less games so his figures are going to worse in that respect. OK, had he played the same amount of games they may still be worse, but all it means is that you can pick the stats you want and ignore the others. For me, Bridge and Yeaman are pretty similar and one has the advantage because he plays for the national coach and can be judged week in week out on training etc.

I've lost count of the time he's put Hicks over this season. |

From difficult positions too.
Look this is all irrelavant because the centres will be Gleeson and Shenton unless Senior has a change of heart or Smith decides to do whats right and puts Pryce there.

I'm not sure if playing pryce in a position he hasnt played regularly in a long time, after a poor world cup and a season that was far from his best, is doing whats right. |

Can't agree more with the OP.
Tony Smith is a closest Rugby Unioner.

Hayne's played fullback all year but will be playing on the wing for Aus.
Inglis used to play 6 all year then move to the centres. Not that big a deal imo |
