Well said. As with Rich Horne, people are too ready to condemn and it usually comes back to bite them in the bum. Yeamo has not been at his best this year but he's easily the best we've got whilst the pretenders to his throne only have potential.

And yet oddly you paint him to be a world beater.

I've experienced Yeaman's entire career and can remember all of it. I agree he's been neither a world beater nor crap during that time (apart from the odd diabolical game that all players have). He's OK. But he's not a great centre. And not quite as good as you make out IMO.

People on here constantly demand that players are picked on form. Would you say he's in good form right now? Better form than our alternatives?

Anyway - moot point for the next 6 weeks. Let's see who comes in and how they perform.

If you are advocating that Yeaman be left out the team on form, are you saying Arundel has been playing well enough to stay in?

I'm saying that Yeaman is not in good form and should therefore be [iin the frame[/i to be left out. Arundel's had one lousy game and one good one so far - a little early to tell how he'll go long term.

There's no point in having competition for places and ignoring it.

Agree 100%

If Yeaman was an Aussie import he'd be getting slated

Agree with that. That is what having strengh in depth is all about.

But the problem here is before friday Arundel was considered by many on here hardly good enough for York never mind us but now he,s been referred to as STRENGHTH in depth.

been a Rovers fan i would much rather have Arundel playing against us than Yeamon Arundel has looked terrible whereas yeamon is a pretty solid player

Who' Yeamon?

Well I'd personally disagree on more than a few of those.

I'd like to think that Yeaman and Briscoe will get the chance of playing outside Gareth Ellis when he is fit. Galea dropped to the bench as an impact player, and Crooks and Lineham playing outside of Tickle.
Arundle looked OK at weekend against, lets be honest, a very very poor Castleford side. Arundle will go ok in attack, but i'm not too sure he can defend. Gareth Hock ran straight through him when we played Widnes. Saying that though, he is a pretty big kid and can be devastating with the ball.
This weekend is the big test for Hull against a confident Huddersfield side. If we can keep Brough quiet, we have every chance.

in superleague id rate: cudjoe gleeson ablett watkins bridge atkins lulia moon collis crookes hughes millard webster arundel welham blythe soliola carney duport shenton and a few more that ive missed all better then yeamo in attack!!!
and alot of them would more then match him in defense.

what i will say is yeamo offers passion and effort and is 90% solid in defense hes black and white through and through which is good to have but that's not what its all about we need quality in these positions. Crookes will become a future star IMO and lineham also Jason Crookes is a good super league quality winger. Arundel has huge potential but its how he applies himself that will determine whether he is a star or not but looking at the future it looks bright in the backs

Id say Yeamo is a great defender but just an average attacker but still the best centre we have at the club

id disagree and say Crookes is already better then him maybe lacks size but other than that i think he is all round the better player but everyone will have a different opinion
