This is true, but there was actually more to it than a Yeaman/Welham battle. Shenton's injury in the Grand Final handed Yeaman a call up (in my opinion of course).

Are internationals here or in Australia next year? If overseas, Yeaman will have declared himself unavailable anyway by then. Doesn't like to venture far, our Kirk.

Correct. But that makes it even more disappointing for the heir apparent (Welham) to have been overlooked as the 6th best English centre (after Reed, Atkins, Shenton, Bridge and Senior (retired )) in favour of a pedestrian halfwit like Yeaman. Bad times for East Hull's finest. Hearing he's also only your 6th favourite ginger after gingerspice, Little Robin Redhead, Chris Evans, Janet Devlin and Peter Elliott. Needs to raise his game. And stop modelling womens clothing. I'm sure he will.

He is certainly getting big wraps but after proclaiming Tommy Lee as a superstar at the same age hopefully he doesn't go the same way,although Lee now has a good chance to finally fulfill his potential at Hudds

So Welham's try tally with no Dobson who controlled the left edge attack for a chunk of the season was more impressive on that basis.
Dudson impressed me last season,barnstorming run at CP to set up a try.
Would of been a more than useful addition and Rovers did offer him a contract but once Wigan came in that was that.

You talk utter tripe, your knowledge is pants which has been proven several times by several people, also by me when you lost that bet to me by declaring Crusaders stood no chance of making the 8 and would finish bottom! (that was not a fantasie it was real!)..You are like Zod you come out with grand statements yet fail to back these statements with evidence, you are unable to have a constructive discussion about any player who plays for FC because of you ingrained hatred of every-thing black and white (your infamous post as paintboy on your secret proved this point)
On the Rangi Chase signing i claimed to know nothing apart from what fans who spoke to him were told, so you are wrong yet again
I will discuss Yeamo & Welham with any-one who wishes to without wearing their tinted glasses because believe me I know more about both players than most on here including you

It was a specific bet on a specific finishing position in a specific season. You lost and welched big time. Oh Dear.

Selective stats and failing to factor in the absence of service to Hull's left edge by anything resembling a half back combination. 2006, last time FC had a halfback combo to speak of Yeaman When your wrong you stick your head in the sand just like you are doing now.I don't know which is funnier Paul M or Gordon Gekko making you look foolish everytime you engage in debate with them.'"

I'm sure Websters Derby record confirms that. How many has he lost in the four years he has been here?
