Flies out of the line way too many times and misses the tackle, Shows little vision in attack and seems almost incapable of putting his winger away. As someone has mentioned earlier, he's a fraction of the player he was when he won his GB cap and at times earlier in the season looked largely disinterested.
Disagree with most of that, Yes he jumps out of the line at times, often as he has been left out on a limb by the rest of the defence. He often makes those tackles though and has also saved plenty of tries. He makes good yardage from his dummy half runs. He seems to be giving Briscoe some decent balls but in fairness Yeaman hardly gets a decent pass which imo is why he does not look as good as he did 2/3 years ago. I don't think he looks disinterested in the slightest.
I don't see Whiting putting Calderwood away that often, he also misses tackle even if he does not jump out of the line.
Yeaman is a better centre even when he is not at his best, put him in Leeds side and people would see a completely different player.
