Just bumped into Kirk and he says he pulled out of the England squad yesterday due to a foot injury. Didn't get to elaborate much as we were queing for shopping but says he's looking forward to a rest.

hopefully be fully fit for pre-season.we need a good year out of him in 2011

big year for him next year, hopefully a good one

he's been given the nod he wasn't going and pulled out to save face.

Wrong!!!!

If Kirk Yeaman is an international centre, we have some serious problems in this country. The nrl has probably got 100 centres better than him !

Intelligent.

Shame if true but probably good news for us.

Well he told me as we were waiting to be served in Pets@Home so I can guarantee you its 100% true unless Kirk himself lied to me



He didn't sound too upset about it though

Name 20 then without going on google to find their names. The NRL have got alot of quality centres but I for 1 don't think there's 100 better then Yeamo.

Geoffrey, george and bungle...there,s three for a kick off.

These were genuinly off the top of my head. I could name another 100!!

YEAMAN IS TRIPE!!!

Go on then.

, and while you're at it try to stick with Non retired/gone to union players.

Yeaman is correct, you improved as the league table suggests. Now you obviously want to see a better style of rugby.

Don't let the fact we mullered you in the play offs detract from a season of improvement but having said that you'll struggle to finish in the top 6 again next year without a couple of good additions

congratulations, you full-filled your season objective!
you won YOUR GRAND FINAL!! like us you won feck all!

many dobbins said last season that we wouldn't get close to you this season, but many were wrong and will probably be again!

At least 8 of your selections can be scratched straight away, personally think some of the others are debatable. Yeaman is not tripe, no matter what anybody says. He may not be the smartest of players and has deficiancies in his game but he is a strong defender, is reasonably quick and runs decent lines. What he needs is somebody talking to him and telling him what to do and pushing him, it is just the player he is. I think people are extremely quick to pull players apart, especially in the close season. He may not be the world's best centre but he is a very good player still and around the right players can be very good! Too many people build up the Aussies to be something they are not. For what its worth, IMO, the overseas centre with the most potential is Shaun Kenny Dowell.

I was quoting on this seasons NRL. The Aussies don`t need building up, they are already at the pinnicle of our game. Thats why they win 99% of the international honours. Watched a lot of nrl this year and the outside backs are light years ahead of us. We could struggle to name 4 centres good enough for international rugby.

Indeed you are Wilf [urlhttp://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/sport/HULL-FC-Yeaman-s-England-dream/article-2688966-detail/article.html[/url

Is he? I may be wrong but it looks like Wilf was saying Standee was wrong about the reason Yeamo dropped out? That article would therefore confirm that Wilf was right.

Actually I was right, I got the exclusive stood in the queue at Pets@Home on Saturday morning





And you're right Robbo, Wilf was indeed refering to Standee being wrong about the reason why he dropped out.

Well I guess some one has jumped the gun here. In my defence I posted the diary early this morning to Joe and in this weeks you will see that I say that he will be out basing what I said on Stephs exclusive. Not worth argueing about really!
