In all fairness to Whelam I have been a big critic of him and he is having a good season, but let's be honest he's not fit to lace either Yeaman or Gleeson's boots.

On current form the two england centres would be Welham and Yeaman

I wouldn't go that far...

I have always liked Welham he still has some development however he is still young and I believe he is capable of International honours at some point in his career. Good to see any of our local lads doing well.

Yeah you're probably right. Like I said I have always been very critical of Whelam but he is making me eat humble pie this year, certainly knows where the line is. Still drops off a few too many tackles for me and lacks a bit of pace to be considered world class.

He won't get anywhere near international standard until he stops averaging 3 missed tackles per game.
He's nowhere near as good as Yeaman or Gleeson, and imo never will be.

Welham scored a good try on Friday but struggled on a few occasions to hold a 50% fit Gleeson.

Yeah because he outstripped him all those times. The only 3 times they clashed directly -

Welham Scored
Gleeson Scored
Welham put him on his backside

Welham was one on one with Long for his try, HTH. And the only time I remember either of Welham or Gleeson on their backside was when Welham tried to put a shot on Tickle, and failed miserably.

You're wrong on more than one of the points you make. No surprise there then.

Welham came up against Long for his try and not Gleeson.

Remember when Gleeson went through Welham and needed four men to hold him short of the line?

Remember when Gleeson's try got ruled out after Cockayne dislodged the ball, well it started with Gleeson stepping and leaving Welham on his backside.

No because they never happened

denial

and you thought it was a river in Egypt!
