A big bloke playing as many minutes as he currently is is bound to miss a few though as they get tired, another sign to me that we have been asking too much of certain forwards and simply getting away with it so far. IMO Manu got through the most work with ball in hand out of our entire pack, there always has to be a trade off when it's like that.
Speaking of Thorman, I thought he was monumentally poop on Friday, first 5 minutes apart.'"
Would love to see it again, guess i'll have to wait for the stats to come out!! Manu needs to stop grabbing and put his shoulder in for me.
Dont think Thorman was that bad to be honest, no worse than anyone else anyway.

Thorman played his normal game, I thnk the last few weeks have been the exception rather than the rule.

I'd say Friday was the exception and the previous few weeks were his normal game. guess we'll see on Saturday.

Not at all, watched him play for Huddersfield for long enough, Horne was left to do a load of work on Friday night.

Was thinking the same on Friday.
Thorman not good enough, Yeaman rubbish etc.
The full 17 were rubbish but i guess they are allowed an off day as long as we go to Quins and perform well.

Thorman wasn't on Friday, but I'm not writing him off completely. He was outstanding against Bradford, we just need Friday night to be an exception.
Yeaman has always had an issue with putting his winger in. It doesn't make him a bad player it's just something he needs to fix as it is a relatively simple thing and has the potential to be costly in the big games. It's about time we did see an improvement with it though, it's been noticeable for long enough now.

This is my concern. He's had this issue for the whole of his career, and he's hardly improved at all. That may indicate that he's not capable of further improvement, which in turn would mean that he'll always be a good player rather than a great one.

gave Briscoe a couple of great passes the week before and was 2nd in our assists charts last season.
Does seem to make a few high profile c*ck ups though like Friday. Maybe that skews peoples opinions a bit.

Or that he's comfortable with the fact he won't lose his place over it so has less reason to really work on it. We don't know why, but whatever reason it really needs attention. Completely agree it's the one thing preventing him from being a genuinely top-class player.

Indeed. The benefits of a top class centre can be seen at Saints when a terminally mediocre winger like Gardner can top the try scoring charts. They have a centre that takes the right option 99% of the time and they score a hatful of tries because of it.
Yeaman has all the physical attributes to be a top class centre, but the mental attributes seem to be lacking a little over the past few seasons. If he can put that right, we'll have an excellent player.
