Offers nothing in attack,cant pass to save his life but good defence at times but is that enough?
Think he will start at Huddersfield but we have to get some pace into our backline

Here we go (again).

Shouldn't this be on the scapegoat thread?

Got a point though .he's got to up his game

Make or break this year. He's done little since that purple patch 3 years ago. Plenty of competition for spots now, as Whiting will discover.

If we are to have Talanoa on the left wing, we really need the speed of Michaels or Logan at Centre.

2006 was 9 years ago, cockle.

Should have been released when his last contract was up, he's clearly lost his pace and his notoriously bad passing ability means he can't adapt his game. As a club we are far too sentimental when it comes to long serving players, the top clubs see signs of decline in their players and move them on (or in rare cases change a players position to suit their game)

I think he'd make a great hooker then.



He's been on borrowed time for years. The only trouble is not one player has stepped upto the plate to challenge him. Hopefully this year he will up his game or will have to make do with squad place.

We carried him that long?!

I've long held the belief that a testimonial absolutely screws up a player. During Yeaman's testimonial year, he was gash. Same for Horne and actually for Whiting who had his worst year since signing.

I very rarely gamble, think it's rubbish. But I had a feeling Yeamo would be top try scorer in SL that year and had £10 on. Was winning comfortably until he got injured late on and pipped by McGuire. Annoying.

I think it is fair to say, Yeaman has not played outside a decent 6/7 since the Paul Cooke days. He has been criticised for years about the lines he runs and that he cant break the line. IMO opinion, if he stays fit and healthy and playing outside Sneyd and Price we could see a whole different player this season. He needs decent service, and he needs to be given space to play and I cant remember the last time he got that. There is now genuine competition for places in the squad, and to add to that 2 decent playing halfbacks I'd like to think he will recapture some good form.

Best of luck to the kid.

Guess we will see, as it looks like he will be starting in our first SL game of the season.

Here we go again. Hasn't taken long has it? One game in a new set up and he's not good enough. I thought he had reasonable game and OK he did miss a couple of chances to put his winger away. Other players made errors of judgment as well and they're not being criticised are they? For goodness sake give the kid a few games and then judge him. He deserves that because you can't fault him for his effort, commitment and loyalty to the club and his team.

He's not a "kid" and he's certainly not earned his corn in the last few years. Just because he's loyal is no reason to keep a player.

Personally, I'd use him as a backup second-rower.

Yeaman was poor against HKR.
You mentioned missed chances to put Talanoa clear but what about the pathetic attempt to tackle Kelly which resulted in a try and he did nothing to help Talanoa with the kick to the corner for another try.In this case if he had been more aware he actually could have taken the high ball or at least shielded Talanoa.
I have no doubt he will start at Huddersfield but his mistakes seemingly don't count and he gives us no attacking threat which is what we need.

Sorry but yeamo has had his day IMO. Still have him as cover but that's all

Yeamo has had his day and offers little these days. Has been a wonderful player and Servant to the club but now he needs to earn his spot. Sentiment wins nothing so if he's off form he needs to be dropped.

He should start v Hudds simply because Micheals hasn't played yet and Logan's only played v Donny and questions still over his defence and Hudds have big centres.Once Micheals match fit and Yeamans still not performing then he comes in.

correct. we should only replace him if it turns out that we have better in the squad, and we don't know how michaels will turn out as he hasn't played a game for us yet

Compared to me he is a "kid" ( clue in the name)
Totally agree you don't pick players for being loyal. It must be on ability every time. Who at the moment, who is available , is better than him?. We haven't seen Michelles? play yet. If he turns out to be better. He should play.Logan isn't ready yet.
I just believe Yeaman deserves more respect than he is getting.

Didn't see the missed tackle on Kelly.
Regards the tries in the corner. I didn't have a clear view because I sit in the west stand near the south stand end. I saw two perfectly timed runs to catch the ball. I did say at the time how difficult the high ball is to defend by the man standing waiting for the ball and we need to improve our method of defending that situation.

I agree I think Yeaman does get some unfair stick and now we have Sneyd and Pryce i believe we will see a lot more from him ,lets be honest he has not had the best of service .His defence is strong and does give a real good dig in the tackle.Until we see how Michaels plays we dont really know if he is a better option and Logan needs more game time IMO

"Didn't see the missed tackle on Kelly. Regards the tries in the corner. I didn't have a clear view because I sit in the west stand near the south stand end".

Are you FC's answer to Arsene Wenger?

Correction "Didn't see who missed the tackle on Kelly"

Wouldn't mind being a few bob behind him.

Yeaman starts the season as the best player in that position. Will he end the season the best? Maybe not. He looked very droppable last year but he is still capable of scoring a lot of tries and still hits really hard so he could. If Hull finish in the top 8 then it wouldn't surprise me if Yeaman has a productive year.

Can't wait to see more of Logan though...
