I don't buy this playing in poor team a player of his class should be still showing how good a player he is, in a poor team, look at Rangi Chase last season in an average Cas team. Holdsworth at Salford is another example.
The odd times he has looked a cut above his teammates, but not very often (certainly not often enough).
I can see what you are saying about moving positions though, hopefully we will aloow him to settle in one position next year, be it centre or hooker and we will see him getting back to his 2008 form.
I've only seen Chase and Holdsworth in a handful of games and highlights every week (as I suspect most non Cas and Salford fans do), and IMO they are excellent in flashes and anonymous at others. They are not showstopping for 80 minutes as the weakness of the teams around them don't enable them to be. Pretty much like Berrigan, then.

Yeah but he is a local lad so tends to come in for stick regardless. He should have left Hul when his last contract came up and gone to Saints, Leeds, Wigan or Wire, they would all have wanted him and he could have shown what can do.

Yes, Paul - that's the only reason I don't rate him. I just hate any player born in Hull.

I said that? I never actually meant you specifically Kosh, the thing is there is a tendency these days to knock Yeaman and like Baldy said when he doesn't play we miss him. He has faults in his game yes but still does a good job on limited service.

IMO his faults outweigh his strengths ATM - and for the last several seasons. We miss him because we lack options at centre rather than because of his quality per se. The service thing is a slight Red Herring as well IMO as he fails to make the best of what service he does get and almost aggressively fails to back up breaks.
Anyway - I didn't intend to turn this into any kind of attack or even critique of Yeaman. I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities to discuss his performances next season.
