That's because in some quarters their talent gets exagerated as does our expectations of them. Hence you end up with a balance of extreme arguments. Horne and Yeaman wouldn't get half the flack if they weren't referred to as superstars and legends all the time and perhaps we'd then be able to get some better quality to mix with them.

What does chugger mean?

He's our new quota half back

Huddersfield are offering G horne an extension aren't they? Hes a cheap squad player
Washbrook deserves another run at loose forward imo, he looked like a good prospect there once



There both cheap players. Its not like their on big money

Just think when recruitment is left this late then we don't get our top targets and decisions could be rushed

Tbf we haven't left it late, Our first targets have turned us down.

True but the club should have looked into the berro quota spot a lot earlier so they could weigh their options earlier

Youre not wrong!

Reminds me of the tardiness displayed giving Raynor the 5 shirt a few weeks before getting rid.

True.

On the flip side maybe they did and it's taken so long for the agreement to come through?

"Yeaman has been every bit as good as the likes of Senior in his time IMO" OMFG !!

What was it you mentioned about ridiculous claims again ?

I know stats dont tell the whole story but looking at this season alone when Senior is meant to be past it i know which one i'd rather have in my side superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... eason=2010

There might be a desire to change but we've just handed radford a 2 year deal and I'm guessing dowes will follow suit

Of course King and Horne WERE good, I certainly agree but King had at least one, probably two contract extensions which we not even nearly warranted and as for Horne's last deal, just madness. Good/past it clubman or not.

Radford AND Dowes in our front row again !!! Does is really get any better than that

Niggly, wily old dog, still got great strength and decent pace. Plus he declared himself fit for the 2005 CC final.

But both on considerably less money mate. I'm fairly happy with that, it could be almost an extra free player!!

I've never really looked back at Yeamo's career statistically til just then. It became very obvious that Yeamo's best years were 2004-2006 and he pushed Senior close in 2006 but still wasnt better. The worrying this was that Yeamo got a higher number of assists and made fewer erros and missed tackles in 2003 and 2004 than he does now. I know he's in a worse team with a worse coach but it's pretty shocking really how far he's gone backwards. (statistically)

radford, dowes and cusack?

You should calm down or you'll make yourself ill

Did expro tell you that?

Am feeling distinctly underwhelmed, now. Could've coped with this along with one or two massive new-blood signings, but it looks like same old plus Will Sharp.

With maybe BJB on loan and Rovelli who no-one else wants.

Mason, Fielden, Prescott, Greenshields, Bosc, LMS, Coley, Nowt nor Sammut....??

No progress, staying stagnant at best.

backwards compared to the competition

No wonder the Cooke became famous for the cut-out pass to Raynor.

Even putting that to one side Yeamo was a better player back then statistically. Even with Cooke putting numerous clean breaks on a plate for Yeamo he still has never been anywhere near as good as Senior.
