A fair point

Think this was touted by McRae around 2004. Then Barnett Snr got the virus again/Eagar broke his arm, & Yeamo ended up staying in the centres. I think that's what happened anyway...

Not sure he is big enough. I'd rather let Briscoe have a few years before he is our starting Centre TBH. Or at least see how he gets on this year.

Oh well , no point him even needing to train then

Shame Wolfies mobile isnt as secure as his wallet

Quite right too. Every team needs a badge-kisser.

children will play mate,how fuc-ing childish

if they all sign new contracts it would be good to have 3 good centres competing for positions, but alot depends on how greame horne plays there this season and if we sign another centre for this (looking unlikely) or next season.

ideally i would play horne/hall and yeaman this season with briscoe as back up. 2010 horne to the pack if he plays better than burnet and whiting with hall, yeaman and briscoe all competing the same for 2011,2012 and 2013 if they deserve a new contract and we can afford them.

I get the feeling Thorman may well take his crown on that front

Yeaman is definately strong enough looking at some of the people that have been on the receiving end of his handoff.

I also think if Briscoe is good enough he shouldnt be held back. Previous world class players have had starting places from being 17, dont see why he shouldnt if he really is good enough. (and i believe him to be)

The 2nd Row get through a lot more work than the Centres.

You haven't seen Briscoe play at Centre yet have you?



We certainly haven't seen any evidence of his ball handling skills as yet. Not saying he wont be good enough etc but I highly doubt the coaching staff are currently thinking of moving Yeamo to the 2nd Row next year so Briscoe can take his place based on a handfull of appearances on the wing.

Yeaman could do with getting involved a lot more and doing more work.

Yes ive seen Briscoe play centre, havent you?

Cant argue with that but not sure he would manage it getting involved with the much larger players.

In SL? Once or twice maybe. He has looked far better on the Wing IMO.

Yes in SL.

I also saw him play there pre-season v Hudds last year when he made a 60 yard break through the middle of their pack.

I think he looks a class act as a centre as well as a class act on the wing. Guess if we chose to he could be the long term replacement for Raynor as he has a lot of key traits that that position requires, would just love to see him play centre.

Against? I saw every single game last season and can only think of him playing centre once or twice? TBF I am getting old so the memory isn't as good as it was.

Before deciding to move our international Centre to the 2nd Row I'd want to see just how well Briscoe can play at Centre in SL over a sustained period.

As for Yeamo I really dont think he has the physical size to be running into the heavy traffic week-in week-out.

Cant remember who against. (i dont even remember what i was doing yesteday) I know he played there a few times though, maybe only once or twice but that was enough.

Im not going to comment about our 'international' centre, think he could be better utilised elsewhere TBH but im looking forward to seeing him prove me wrong and put a really poor 2008 to bed.

I am looking forward to seeing Yeaman back to form in the centres this year. Played well at Leeds particularly in defence, by the end of the game the Leeds centre knew what was coming and it certainly effected his game! Resorted to trying to flick the ball to his winger before the inevitable smash...

Hope he re-captures his 2007 form, i really do. I just think that if we were to try and fit Briscoe, Hall and Yeaman in the side moving Yeaman into the pack in 2010 is an option. The other options obviously are to play Briscoe on the left wing or play Hall at full back. We may do all of the above and play G Horne and Whiting as our centres in 2010!!

I would prefer his 2006 form personally.



Briscoe showed that he would be a more then able stand in for Raynor for the first 7 or so games and indeed may have a future on the wing. Took a few kicks and looked very strong carrying the ball out.

I would see how they all develop this year because I am sure both Briscoe and Hall will get game time in a few different positions and it is up to them to take that chance and claim a position as their own.

Again, i prove that my memory really is as bad as i keep saying. What was your name again, do i know you?

Not for me. I've yet to see any genuine Centre play from him. All his best work has been on the wing so far and the more he plays the more suited he seems to the wing IMO.



Totally agree he has had a bad couple of years but so has the team generally. If the team starts to show a bit more in attack then I think we will see Yeamo get back to his best this year. If he isn't going to play Centre I dont see how shifting him to the back row (an area we seem to be strong in) is a good use of his talents. Id rather get rid.

Disagree but guess we'll see, im just happy with him in the side TBH.



He's a stronger carryer of the ball than all of our back rowers other than Manu IMO, he lacks a passing game as we all know, he isnt the quickest but is as strong as an Ox. All of the above for me makes him sound like a better back row than a centre anyway. If Radford does go to Union there may well be a space to fill. Definately wouldnt get rid, would just have a positional re-think.

No you dont know me Dave T! I dont associate with people as positive as you....

Looking forward to seeing Craig hall play full back this week?

Im just looking forward to getting to a game of rugby and actually getting the chance to see some of our kids play too that ive heard good things about. Dont get the chance to go over to Brantingham often enough.

Now c'mon you know thats not allowed

He is a talent I agree but I'm happy to see him on the wing for now.





Manu and Tickle are far better back rowers IMO and I'd rather bring in an actual top class 2nd Rower than move Yeamo there TBH. So if he loses his place in the centres to 2 young kids I would get rid and use the salary cap on a better back rower.
