But an attack that only went to his side of the field nonetheless.

Agreed.
Yeaman is head and shoulders above any of the other centres at our club.

I wonder why we attack our left edge?,do you think that successive coaches have maybe thought, that we will utilize that side, because we have a very good centre and winger,who'd of thought that?,I mean if he was crap,WHY base your attack down that side,that would be madness wouldn't it?

Nobody has said that Yeaman is crap. See if you can spot his name here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=545926&tsmp=1363099041

Two words...

Cooke

Manu

We have had numerous Second rowers/half backs play on the left edge over the years and still that left edge is our most dangerous,who is the person who has always been there? (you have one guess),they have come and gone,but Yeamans has always been there and scored try's,regardless of who he has been playing with.

Right to left is the most natural passing movement for the majority.

Most teams left edge is there strongest

Do you know nothing on rugby

But why keep go to a centre who is average,why haven't successive coaches got rid,they must know nothing about rugby.

Also worth that Yeaman's try scoring exploits, while on the face of them point at consistency are sporadic. He tends to have a very good season followed by one or two poor ones try scoring wise, which is a problem for Yeamo as if he's not scoring tries he brings nothing else from an attacking point of view.

rlConfirmed - out for six weeksrl

hopefully someone will take the opportunity and give Gentle a selection problem when Yeaman gets fit.

All it means is that fans of other teams don't see him as much of a threat.

Take a look at the amount of marking Briscoe gets. Teams can afford to do this because they know that the bloke inside him isn't all that dangerous.


I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not judging him on any kind of scale whatsoever. I've formed an opinion on how good I think he is in the areas I believe a top quality centre should have, and what he brings to the team.


He might be one of the better [iEnglish[/i centres in SL. And that is indeed an indictment of the quality of centres in the English game at the moment. But that's somewhat beside the point. Being the best of a bad lot doesn't impress me too much, and just at the moment he's not even that IMO.

I like Yeaman. He's a great lad, works hard, is as loyal as you like, and almost always gives 100% on the pitch. You never get even a hint that he's anything other than totally professional on and off the field either. I just don't think he's a terribly good centre.

Yeaman is our top centre but given our other two are rookies then its too be expected. Still feel he's had a poor start to the season

Strong defender, great hole runner, not a good wingers centre. Not sure why this part of his game hasn't really developed. Always though Yeaman, Briscoe & Manu scored tries despite playing together, not because of. Talking to one of the development guys at Cas a couple of seasons back, he said "Who is the strongest player in SL?" was always one of the 1st questions the kids asked & Yeaman was the answer most of the Cas player gave.
