, no-ones mentioned the fact that Graham is an international too!

Only a plastic one though. At the time he represented what was in effect a "b" team

Did you miss the bit where i said Yeamo topped our clean break chart this season?

I do apologise, I got my terminology mixed up.

Tackle busts is what I was really thinking about. Briscoe LOOKS like he copuld get through the first tackler virtually every time he has the ball. Yeaman appears just to run straight into them.

Do they? 1 assist each Meters and carries almost the same Horne more tackles yeamo more runs from DH Horne more busts, yeamo more clean breaks horne more errors. Was basing it mainly on clean breaks but disagree they make horne look better.

never rated him before, but now can see that he is a valuable squad player. In an ideal world we'd have about 30 world class stars to choose from, but the salary cap means we need 'cheap' squad players like G Horne. I also don't think he's has been that bad at centre either.

This is not a criticism, but if there is a gap in the defensive line, I would have thought anyone could make a clean break. Busting a tackle means you are getting away from the defender. Imo thats worth more from an individual point of view

He is a decent enough squad player however he is not good enough to be a starting centre in SL IMO.

Last season he stood out due to how bad we were and how low peoples expectations were of him are.

I personally think this season he has been pretty average and once Raynor is back i would like to see Briscoe get his centre spot.

Agree with all of that.

If we had to lose on of Briscoe G Horne or Craig Hall then I'd choose Horne every time.
