Lets hope he drops Yeaman.The team is carrying him at the moment.His non attempts at jumping for the high ball are costing us tries.
Was at fault again for Saints first try not trying to jump for the first kick.
Anyone in doubt check the replay.

Change the record ffs

Sadly, it's the only one he's got.

If yeaman were to be dropped who would jump to the top of the hit list ???

That's the problem, when he's gone there'll be someone else.

Did you just use the words yeaman and jump in the same sentence?

Sorry to annoy you Kirk but you are just not up to it.
You may be able to wrap Radford round your little finger but you are rubbish on the field and costing the team tries.

It's a good job you started a thread on Yeaman. Just for those who may have missed the numerous posts criticising him over the past few weeks on various threads.

Although slightly harsh, i noticed on friday that his attempted block on sts attackers did little to avoid makinsons try, to be fair, he wasnt even looking at the ball....and that there be the issue, the mans braindead, and will not change what he got taught 10 years ago... the games moved on, he hasnt im afraid

What a discusting statement "The mans braindead" Yu are perfectly entitled to your opinion but this type of comment is not acceptable

Completely agree.

There have been a few disparaging remarks about Yeaman recently. Whilst he's not been playing very well, for a player who's given the club so many years service as he has, the lack of respect that's shown for one of our players by some of our fans is a disgrace.

Giving a balanced opinion on his performances is fine, but comments like that are atrocious. I get embarrassed by our fans at times.

Oh boy, I completely believe in freedom of speech and everyone is entitled to an opinion but players and their families read this, do we really need that sort of stuff, it will hardly inspire anyone a few days before a derby will it?

For 333 games Kirk has put his body on the line for hull FC scoring 165 try's (660pts) not bad for a t player

No one can doubt Yeamans effort, but he is awful these days, it could be argued that he is one of the worst Hull players to keep getting picked despite week after week poor performances, the OP has a point about him not jumping for that ball for the first try.

Yeaman in his day was a very good centre.but that has past and now unfortunately he is a shadow of his former self. IMO unless injuries hit he shouldn't be in the team.

Another week another yeaman is crap get him out the team thread seems like I was right and you were wrong Mrs B

I accept and agree that Yeaman’s best days are clearly behind him, however that does not entitle me or anyone else to abuse him in the way some have. He’s given this club years of loyal service and has never shamed us (unlike some), at his very best he was outstanding. In my opinion he deserves much more respect that he is being afforded by some.

For what its worth,i'll have my 2 penneth,yeaman has been a loyal,rock solid team player for a long period in time and does not deserve the criticism he is getting.I agree he is past his best,but cant you realise the fault is with radford for picking him,not yeaman for playing ??

For perhaps the first time ever I find myself agreeing with almost everything Des just said



My take on it is:

1. Yeaman has been an FC great.

2. Sadly he can't cut it at this level any longer.

3. If Radford continues to pick him Yeaman will do his best (but see 2. above)

4. The criticism of him is justified but it's wrong to abuse him (or any other player).

Just watched the highlights again and look at the stats, and this would be my team

Shaul (Rankin, was Oki last match, but no tackle busts, clean breaks etc, as others have said Shaul would be there to back up the breaks)
Lineham (Too good a winger to sat in the stands)
Talanoa (Best position)
Sa (Best position, not good enough defensively in the backrow to play big minutes, 9 missed tackles last week)
Naughton (If not fit Micheals)
Pryce
Sneyd
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Ellis
Abdul (Deserves a starting spot, scored bot trys when he was on the field, one try and one assit, extra pivot)

Green
Thomspon
Westerman (If not fit, Cunningham)
Whiting

I believe this post sums the situation perfectly.

Spot on team dave

Its almost guaranteed that if Yeaman plays he'll score, he has a habit of doing it against us.

Yeaman should take a long look in the mirror and realise the time is right for him to bow out gracefully. He's been a great servant to the club but just doesn't have what it takes to play well consistently at this level any more

Obviously you lot see him more than me but can't understand why shaul hasn't been playing he looked your only threat in the Derby
