FC fans are a funny lot, they're such a negative bunch amongst each other yet if an outsider dares say anything negative they round up on you.

Another overrated Hull player is Yeaman, utter one dimensional garbage.

Cue a million and one insults from West Hulls finest

My moron status has been duly noted. I thank you.
I must be a top moron now. A much better moron than Richard Whiting is a RL player.

No insults from this west huller don't think yeaman is overrated as a player as I think every one knows he is not the player he once was lost the speed he used to have. The reason he keeps his place in the hull team is his defensive ability never misses a tackle, reads the game very well knows when to shoot out the line and when he does he doesn't miss.

Rob Burrow one trick pony. Has a little run a duck and dive. Penalty given.

McIlorum, Myler, Burns, McGuire

Wouldn't go far as saying Yeaman never misses a tackle. He shot out the line on Friday when he had no need to and completely missed his man causing a huge overlap. He's really good in defence but his judgement when he shoots out of the line to make a big hit, is getting worse and worse.
Majority of Hull fans now don't rate Yeaman either. He's had his time and was a very good player for us especially in 2006.

As for people calling Whiting overrated, has got to be a wind up. Best utility player in the league and can't remember the last time he had a poor game for Hull. Only down fall to his game is a lack of speed.

Been over-rated for a while now,not the player he was and will be struggling to get in team for 2014.

I'd disagree with McIlorum and Myler there. Myler has really improved this season, McIlorum performs his role very well.

Carl Ablett. He is the personification of 'Average'.

No one rates him, how can he be over rated?

He seems to get into the England set up, year on year, so somebody sure does.

Gareth Ellis

He's actually a very good player, but niggly but does a lot of hard work and makes big plays when they are needed.

Who actually rates Yeaman? I for one don't. One good season in the last 5.

He'll be struggling for selection next year, unless he goes to second-row.

Whoever said Whiting clearly knows nothing about the game. He's dependable and solid. Reads the game better than most and has covered every position on the field apart from hooker. If he was an ever present for England, you'd argue he was overrated but he goes about his business quietly, without fuss and is a mainstay of our team.

Most overrated for me is Rob Burrow. No-one dare tackle him because he constantly ducks his head, making him 2 foot 6 tall.

Actually I remember reading a quote perhaps last year and it said Whiting has played every position during his time at Hull.

Both Bowen and Stewart have been injured for a big part of the 2013 season. However when they have played they have been sublime, and added enormous firepower to their team's attack, as well as being valuable try-saving defenders.

So I have revised my list of the top 13 players in the world.

[iGreg Inglis
Cameron Smith
Johnathan Thurston
Billy Slater
Sonny Bill Williams
Cooper Cronk
Jamie Lyon
Sam Burgess
Andrew Fifita
James Graham
Daly Cherry-Evans
Matt Bowen
Brett Stewart[/i

Four of them are full backs. None of them are wingers. Moreover not one of the 13 is named Kevin Sinfield.

My next best players are goal kicking and play making halves Adam Reynolds and James Maloney. Would one prefer to have them in one's team ahead of Bowen or Stewart?

But of course Reynolds and Maloney are much better players than Kevin Sinfield.

Another vote for 'Mickey Mac'

leon pryce after Friday night!

Sinfield

Forgot about Ablett. In the England squad to cover 2nd row and centre despite being crap at both.

Having seen Whiting play against us a couple of times recently I can't see how his name has come up on this thread. Excellent utility player who does all the simple things well. Hull would be poorer without him. His range of positions he can play in reminds me of Sam Panapa during our glory days (though obviously not that good).

We should of got rid of Yeaman years ago. Whiting overrated? troll alert

most overrated Sinfield

Irony encapsulated in one post

I think Ellis and Pryce are past it and overpaid rather than overrated there is a slight difference.



Yeaman has been a good clubman but it has cost him a successful career. There was a "disappointing players" thread and my answer was everyone at Hull FC. Horne, Yeaman, are the main offenders in the last 10 years which Briscoe is starting to look like the next victim. I can only guess it is the pressure of playing for a big club that doesn't deliver. I don't think Yeaman is overrated I just feel that he cannot live up to his potential while at Hull FC.

Well, 34 years non-stop I've been watching RL. I've obviously had my eyes shut for all that time.

You've just summed-up Whiting in one perfect soundbite. He's dependable and solid. That's it. I agree with you. If you listen to some Hull fans, and a couple of of Sky commentators, he makes Ellery Hanley look like pooh.

Please be aware, the thread says overated. I think he is. He's far from crap, but he's nowhere near the plaudits he gets
