We all know Yeamo has the other spot sown up tighter than Wolfies Wallet

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

Wonder what Agars thoughts are from 2010 onwards. Briscoe and Hall in the centres with Yeamo as a wide running tackle breaking 2nd row?

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

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.

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.
