Cannot agree with this. Yeaman has smashed forwards plenty of times and hit backs in ways they've never been hit by forward or back. Also I'd imagine if he was to play 2nd he'd pack a few pounds on himself.

Not sure he needs more muscle, the centres that have successfully moved inside have typically been the taller type. I'm not saying he [icouldn't[/i play 2nd row, I just don't think his size and body shape would let him compete in the forwards on a consistent basis.
What everyone seems to be missing is why would we move him? He's an international centre and we have Ellis, Westerman, Whiting, Kent & Hadley for the back row, with even Bowden, Green & Pitts to play 13 if that's how we want to go. I'd rather we signed a proven 2nd rower.

Agree in all respects.

Think this thread is a bit irrelevant as even if Tickle does go, we will have plenty of cover in back row as previous posters have pointed out. If Miller is signed up then just need to sign up Shaul and then concentrate our efforts and cap space in signing a big nasty Peaa type prop then job done, world domination here we come!!

I am sure you can evidence this, somehow?


I wait to see......

See Scot Grix for details.....

Grix he totally annihilated.
Howell for London bout 2yrs ago had to leave the field
Gleeson when at wire away left him on the ground nearly in half
Think it was Karl Pryce last game before union move, yeaman smashed him a couple of times, put him in touch,an ran all over him. Destroyed him all night.
Others throughout his career. Physicality isn't what he'd lack at 2nd row

You are saying some silly things today.

If you have never seen Yeaman put someone on their backside from a bit hit, you haven't seen many hull games.

How do you want him evidence it? Watch ever hull game and provide you with a link to the exact moment it happen.

You really need to think before you post.

They're all backs.

Yup. These are just ones that stick out in my head, hit dozens over the yrs but these are the best I can remember.
Although they're backs none exactly small barring grix n I can't remember having seen the same players smashed by anybody else as heavily.

Had a good game tonight, in both attack and defence. Showed his pace to set up Briscoe's try as well. Ellis will bring the best out of that side.
