| Quote: carl_spackler "Yeaman hasn't been in good form this year, but as usual there are some who go OTT or become revisionists claiming he's never been good (in much the same way as with Horne in the past few years). He's clearly a very good player and one of SLs best centres, just because he has a flaw in his game does not change that. Too many seem to see rating players as a 3 option multiple choice rather than the sliding scale it is, there's more than just world class, average, and crap.
As for not getting into other top sides, I personally think that when in his more typical level of form he'd probably get a regular game at every SL team barring Leeds and probably Warrington.'"
On form he'd get in Leeds and Warrington's team too. |

I don't see it myself. He's not particularly quick, has no step to speak of and has never been any good at putting his winger away. He's quite strong, and fairly difficult to stop close to the line, and his defence is quite good too (though he does still make a few poor decisions in that respect). I think Crooks is going to be miles better in a couple of years.

Ditto. And I've been of the same opinion since I saw him on debut, so no revisionism here. |

quite strong?  I dont see how people can accuse him of being a poor centre for not getting briscoe away. Briscoe has been in open field a few times this season and looked average/uninterested at best. Not having a dig a tb but defending yeamo with this point. Like Ben Galea said, the ball isnt getting to the left edge and proven against Cas on Fri. |

| Quote: airliebird,runninglate! "Some of this thread is absolute cack.
Yeaman has a try return of 1every other game over a ten yr period.
Constantly leaves attackers crumpled on the ground, often winning us the ball back.
Runs the best lines of any centre playing when on form n team clicking.
Biggest weakness is getting his wing away, and that's been blown out of all proportion, Briscoe n Raynor have hell of a lot of tries from playing outside him.
Certainly on his day on of the better centres, and an asset due to his attitude.
Like has been said people hoping injury is true is ridiculous. Especially coming into Easter. Thought crooks got well looked after against Warrington. He come across ok on telly but there I noticed how much he was looked after by westy whiting n later Galea. We can't invest that much effort into one player constantly, probably the reason he isn't a straight starting choice. So we'll have to hope he comes good in yeamans absence starting against a huge powerfull hudd team!'"
Great post - the number of tries that Yeamo has scored without a hand being laid on him is testament to the lines he runs |

Totally agree and being saying it for a few seasons now. People who know me will back that up.
Always good for dropping an easy pass or two a game.
Time for him to play 2nd row i think. |

Easily the best centre at our club and by some distance,Crooks has the potentail to be a very good centre,but has long way to go,Arundal needs to be able to tackle,before I even start calling him a centre.
The joker who said Gentle would drop Yeaman for Crooks and Arundal needs to take up a new hobby because he knows nothing about rugby.
P.S.Yeaman strike rate is fantastic and consider that a lot of the years, we had one of, if not the worst, attacks in the league.
