When's Yeaman's contract up? He shouldn't be offered a new one.

I don't think that's fair at all. Yeaman has been lauded as a local hero on here for years and has been totally untouchable in the eyes of most. A small handful of us have either never rated him or have seen the writing on the wall for years. Since 2006 and Judas leaving we have seen a gradual decline in Yeaman's play. He has never been intelligent enough to know when to pass and when not to pass. I attribute this down to a reason (not the whole reason) why we lost Briscoe.
IMHO he has gained international honours at a time when lets be honest England have had a lack of quality at .
Add in his comments in pre season that he has been at odds with previous coaches and his game has suffered and I fail to see why it is that he commands a place week in week out.

For me this week will be a massive test of Radford's man management skills. He has a trio of which are not high on confident and how he handles that may well make or break him. He also has a hooker who was changing games last month with his role off the bench, who is now playing at half back and as a result is not nearly as effective. He has another untouchable legend of the club misfiring in the halves. A half back who has not played competitively for absolutely months sitting in the stand signing autographs and getting paid a fortune. Sorry if I missed it but where is Pitts? At a time when we are down on forwards he seems to be discarded. (if hes injured I stand corrected). Add in a rant all be it probably needed, by the coach in a public way and things could become destabilised very quickly if Radford is not careful. Id not consider it a crisis yet, but defeat on Friday and possibly the following week to Splashthecash's team and we could be looking at a very long and costly season again.
Oh how the early season optimism can soon drain away. We had almost forgotten pre-season!!

Doesn't he have another year after this one? Either way, he should have gone at the end of last season. He has decent strength close to the line and profited from that when he had someone who could supply him with good service from five yards out. His defence is ok, except when he decides to jump the line and leave everyone exposed. Other than those two strengths, he has none of the skills required to be a top class centre.

About as good as chase,benji marshall,crocker,bateman and the 2 best half backs in the league that pearson promised.

Just reading that reminded me of the early gilt-edged chance yesterday in the NW corner when someone provided him with exactly that ball you speak of and he dropped it. I'd forgotten about that one what with the two 'passes' and the dropped free play walk-in chance.

I was going to say you're getting boring Des, but you've been like that all the time (same as Bruce). Contribute something worthwhile or you'll lose the chance to post here (in that identity anyway)

Heck one win and he's back, what a dipstick

We have a very similar thread about Ryan Atkins saying he cant do the basics; he cant catch, cant pass, cant tackle, Leaves Riley exposed in defence etc etc..

We are now in the situation where, if like on thursday He didnt knock on, he didnt go walk abouts, and he didnt throw a pass over the head of the touch judge, hes' had a good game.....

Quite sad how two centres that should have been shoe in's at international level have now fallen so far behind Watkins and.... anyone else...!!!

Atkins is undroppable in Tony smiths eyes, be interesting to see what a young coach does in similar circumstances

Chris surely my last post is relevant replying to diablo who seems obsessed with rovers attendances while I posted that I feel you got rid of kear and gentle and kear too early.Is that not a post regarding hull while diablos was about rovers.be fair.
