Sorry meant to say Robert Hicks is a “card” not what I said before, which was removed, a right card as well, were fifty down and he still crucified us with penalties.

We don't l know if Wynne was available after the game on Friday.

wynne was warming up with the players before kick off, looked like he was 18th man

like many said, bad decision to throw scott in at the deep end v a red hot saints team, wynne played 50 minutes on friday, for an 18 year old did he really need resting? no, wynne to fullback, connor centre and scott on the bench if radford wanted to give him some minutes

I remember a young Kirk Yeaman being put up against Paul Newlove and having his pants pulled down all game. Scott will only be better for the experience.

High easthullwesty, if your referring to the game Yeamo was schooled on the Boulevard, when he was very young, was it not Martin Gleeson who tormented him that day, not a hundred percent sure though

I think it was Gleeson at the Boulevard.... May have been in addition to being schooled by Newlove although I'd be surprised if Newlove wasn't done by the time we went to the KC.

I thought it was Paul Loughlin at The Boulevard

Looks like Newlove and Gleeson were both centres for saints when Yeaman played his 2nd game for Hull. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/stats/p ... rk-yeaman/

It was Newlove at the Boulevard as far as I can remember. He was brilliant that day

Hi “easthullwesty” I asked Hulls historian Bill Dalton about our Yeamos learning curve, he kindly replied


Kirk actually made his debut at Boulevard from the bench in the 76th minute against London Broncos on
19 August 2001. His first starting appearance at. Boulevard was against Halifax on 23 June 2002. The Saints game was 4 July and he was listed as Left Centre with Martin Gleason Right centre for Saints. Paul Newlove was Left Centre. They both scored a Try. However, the Rugby League Express report has Newlove scoring the Try which resulted in Kirk being taken off and substituted. He had had an unhappy night against the entire team,

Yes it’s a bit like young Cameron Scott, I know a lot of clubs were after him as young as he was, but I wondered what all the praise was about after seeing him quite a few times now, he doesn’t seem that quick, his defence looks good, and he’s obviously the captain of the junior international side, so like Yeamo in his tender age, the vision of our coaches will hopefully prove right again.

Bill Dalton a fine historian.
