The idea isn't, just ask Horne, Diskin, Wellens or Crabtree.

Players can apply for one after 300 first team games regardless of appearances for a single club, IIRC.

By outdated I mean it is from another era; where players had day jobs and played for boot money ona weekend; where the testimonial was a way of saying thanks and giving them some cash to ease them into being without their supplementary income. Seems an anachronism in these days of well paid professional players.

I understand that but a 12 month series of events topped off by a testimonial game is still a very nice money spinner. Whether players should still be awarded them is another matter of course.

absolutely Yeamo is a Hull lad through and through and deserves his testimonial year.

When people say yeamo hasn't done much lately its hard when he all he gets is scraps not a coincidence he was at his best when he was getting plenty of the ball in the right areas

Outdated for footballers who earn twice in a week what yeaman earns in a year maybe

Just going back to his contract talk i saw him on Thursday going into the FC offices at KC might have been having preliminary talks.

possibly.wonder how money he would demand now????

Got to disagree there I think he's having a good season especially since he stopped being so greedy with the ball which is currently to Briscoe's benefit. His defensive work is as good as its ever been and with a better coach we would see further improvement.

Glad to hear no break and hope he's not out for too long.

That was of course one of the main complaints about Yeaman , his reluctance to pass.

Fully aware of that CD and he still does it on occasion. Must have been advice he's taken on board from Uncle Denis.

He does seem to have added that facet of the game a lot more now.
It's good for a player to back himself to score - shows confidence in ability etc - but not at the expense of leaving the winger a virtual spectator.

I think he's a great centre with huge potential if he's coached well and possibly playing in a successful team. Look how well Ryan Atkins is doing over at Warrington now he's working with Tony Smith.

For your futures sake, keep him. Otherwise you'll be signing a 30 something Aussie, (over for his post NRL pension) to replace him as a quick-fix.
