After watching the national games so far Yeamans defence aint that much better. Been caught coming out the line on numerous occasions and failing to make a tackle, The young French hooker made him look silly! |

But you brought it up, by saying Rovers could provide at least one better alternative. So why is Yeaman preferred? I'm not saying I disagree, just interested in why Yeaman is continually selected at the expense of the better Rovers player(s). Can't be to do with league position, clearly.  |

And one of them should be. The "Chase experiment" is clearly a failure, on both a playing and a popularity level. If Burrow hadn't been in for an op after the Grand Final, he should have been a shoe-in for a call up, such was his form. |

The fact that Briscoe/Yeaman are wing/centre partners at club level is a big reason for Yeaman getting picked over other fit centres.
If it wasn't for injuries to Atkins/Shenton and Bridge then Yeaman wouldn't be anywhere near tbh. |

In relation to your comment on this thread,you said Yeamo is not the best left centre in Hull...You clearly believe Welham is, which is not true at this point, Welhams defense is worse than Yeamo's |

I can! - see above comments. Besides, it's against international rules to have 2 ginger centres! |

| Quote SirStan="SirStan"Yeaman is a proper bellend when he plays for Hull, but that's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned when he pulls on the national shirt. I have cheered many players at internationals, both RL and football, who I have abused from the terraces at a club game. Perhaps its a tad hypocritical but that's the way it is.
He got the gig primarily due to his combination with Tom Briscoe, but I can't ever make a case for Welham in an England shirt until he learns a few basic defensive techniques on a consistent basis. [uMaybe a new coaching set up will sort this, maybe it won't[/u.'"
If it does he will be a regular feature in the National Squad for a few years to come imo. |

Yeaman doesn't have any further improvement in his game, I sincerely hope that, at 24, Welham can continue to improve. He's only had 3 full seasons thus far at SL level. His attack has improved, and elelments of his defence also, although I'm not sure stats will bear that out. He still misses one on ones, and jumps the line. Some folk say he's encourgaed to do this, but if you make that decision you have to nail your man 99% of the time. |

I also made a point about Rangi Chase which you have failed to mention but that's as expected.
I don't play your silly games anymore so have a nice evening |

In fairness, Welham averages 70 missed tackles a season. IMO this is why McNamara must think that, however poor Yeaman is, Welham currently simply cannot be risked against Australia or NZ.
The "partnership with Briscoe" rationale is rubbish IMO. Yeaman if anything holds Briscoe back by providing pretty average centre service to a very good winger. |
