Kirk Yeaman : Wed Apr 27, 2011 1:37 pm  
Just thought I'd get people's thoughts on Kirk Yeaman's chances of playing for England this year?

He's been really quiet since his GB debut season, but I really think he's back to his best form from that year. He's scoring tries for fun, steamrolling players left, right and centre and is just looking all round a much better player than he ever has done. He tackles very hard, and with Tom Briscoe likely to be on the wing for England, could be a good idea to have his club centre alongside him.

What are his major flaws? What are the strengths of the people up against him in this position (i.e. Bridge, Shenton, etc.).

I've never really rated him. Good, strong player but lacks the x-factor and pace to be top drawer.

I like him.
He's just never going to be world class.
Does he have a shot at England this year? yes; of course. If we hope to beat the aussies on a regular basis should Kirk Yeaman be playing in the centres for England? Not at all.

he probably just about breaks even if you deduct the tries hull concede from him running into no mans land from his tally

If he's playing as well as his first big year for Hull, then he should be in the reckoning with the likes of Shenton and Bridge. I'd be more comfortable with that prospect than Ryan Atkins.

Good "running" centre. Always struggles up against a centre with good footwork who gets him stood on his heels and lacks the slight of hand to put a winger away. Never international class, but which other centres of ours are?

I think he is a strong running player but he does appear a tad greedy and is certainly not a 'wingers' centre. Bridge on the other hand is looking to get his winger away at every opportunity. Different players different skills but Yeaman's reluctance to pass may hold him back from a return to International honours.

One thing I will say is that he hits a line fantastically well

As far as gauging the potential in the South West, I'd have thought the rumoured Wembley international double-header at the end of the season would be good way to do this.
