But Briscoe still has 7 tries for the season, so Kirk needs some credit for that too.

From watching Hull this season it looks like Yeaman is passing far more to his winger than he ever used to.

No need to justify him mate.Look at the leading try scorers.

One thing you can say about Yeaman, and probably the main reason for his popularity amongst Hull fans, is that he has a hell of alot of heart, he will never give up and will run and tackle as hard as he can for 80 minutes. He's hard as nails too.

I think it does him a dis-service to say he's slow too. He's no flyer but I've never really seen him found wanting for pace. He's probably on par with Shenton and he's certainly quicker than Bridge.

Maybe you should try & lift your Rovers bias for a minute, & take a look at the tries he scored over the weekend against Wire.

pretty prolific,scored 124 in 238 games so often not needed to pass! but one of the biggest myths around! raynor had tremendous try record outside him and briscoe racking up a good 1 too! defence wise he is probably one of the best! shooting out of the line is his trade mark! had understanding with raynor so was covered when it didnt come off,getting that with tom now as well! but comes off more times than not! plenty of players been left on ground and even gone off after been hit and dozens over the years have lost ball when in good positions cos they know whats comming! on current form he's got to be a definate for exiles game!

Other than Briscoe there is no real quality in our English 3/4's

Looking at the England and Knights squad, I think we have a number of three quarters who have the talent to become genuinely world class (if they are not there already)

For me, the young players I hope will come to the fore and make the England backline a real threat are Jones-Bishop, Welham, Arundel, Broughton, Charnley, McGilvray and Watkins

Add to this the more established players Briscoe and Sam Tomkins (who should be in the first group as a future talent but are established internationals), Shenton, Clubb, Bridge, Fox, Hall and Cudjoe

The potential backline below is full of talent

Sam Tomkins
Briscoe
Arundel
Watkins
McGilvray

That may not be the back line for England this year as Bridge and Shenton must be in line for the centre spots but it looks good for the future
