Not sure that playing behind a beaten pack has quite the same direct impact on a centre as it does on a hooker or halfback. The main excuse that seems to be trotted out for Yeaman is that he's not had any 'service' since Cooke left. IMO top quality centres create opportunities for themselves, and don't rely on having tries handed to them on a plate via a cut-out pass.
Quote berrigans bitch="berrigans bitch"I will be the first to admit Yeamo was not at his best for 2 season, though he looks like he is starting to hit some form, and as you rightly point out the stats for Yeamo & Hall are misleading due to favoured positions etc, I would like to see Hall get a good run in the centres just so we can see if he is class or not tbh.'"
Yeamo's doing OK this season, a definite improvement on the last couple. However, one indicator I like to look at is how many tries a centre's wing partner has scored, and he doesn't score highly there. It would be good to see a run of games with Yeaman and Hall as our centres so as to make a good comparison, but that doesn't seem likely in the near future unfortunately.
