The problem with Yeamo's performance in the Eng vs Aus game was that he's playing outside of Rangi Chase who is unpredictable and you could see that they don't normally play together. All Yeamo has to do is stay back a bit then he can run onto the ball better or have an option of coming on the inside.

IMO he was also well watched by the Aussie's and wrapped up in the tackle.

If he can get the timing right with a nice hand off he can give us all a big smile at the KC and get the knockers to swallow their words.

Now there's a mental image I could have done without.

you can say atkins is overated but hes as good as yeaman or reed and ablett isnt even a centre who would get found out playing there at international level

your problem is chase, not yeaman, imo chase is a poor defender, like most scrum halves and stand offs, most teams target them on the pitch to run at, a few times over the last couple of england games chase has left yeaman exposed and left a gap moses would have been proud of parting!

Disagree, he'd get ripped apart in the NRL - something Reed has more than coped with.

baring the last couple of games, so was yeaman, yet yeaman had been consistant throughout the season

for one you dont know atkins would get ripped apart and two how many nrl games has reed played

i know like i say i was defending yeaman i thought he had a decent game on saturday

saying that, atkins had a stinker against us on easter monday, is atkins in the squad?

no

so atkins is a no brainer then as he won't be match fit let alone even for training

To say Atkins is as good as Reed is ridiculous, and Yeaman/Briscoe have been a thret all season.

Yeaman did drop the ball a couple of times admittedly (For one he offloaded and Sinfield wasn't looking) but against the most dangerous winger in Rugby League they did pretty well, the tries came down the left handside which can only be a testament to Briscoe/Yeaman as Uate was heavily involved in beating NZ, running in loads down the right.
