Yeamo has been a great servant but he has played his entire career at centre and now he can't cut it at centre we convert him into a second row to prolong his career? Would Leeds, Wigan or Saints do that?

Didn't Leeds do it with Keith Senior in the end?

Did they?

How did it work out?

Seem to remember he played in the pack a bit in his early days, probably when Sean Macrae was here.

Played 2nd Row a few times off the bench, but has only started there twice in his entire career. He's actually had 3 starts on the wing! lol

We would be mad not to approach Geoff Toovey

But that would mean Pearson been shown up making another mistake by backing Radders, to eventually get rid. Although it would be the correct thing to do.
We'll be stuck with Radders for a couple of years I reckon. Playing awful attacking rugby.

Brett Delaney would be an example of someone signed and playing at centre who made the move into the back row.

I actually think our rugby has been pretty good when our first choice halfs play together, been a few games in which we have looked good, we don't finish enough chances off, hopefully with a bit more class on the backs thus will change next year.

Squad so far for next year

Shaul
Talanoa
Logan
Carlos T
Naughton
Pryce
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Ellis
Mini
Pritchard
Westerman
Watts
Green
Whiting
Thompson
Bowden
Abdul
Lancaster
Fash
Turgut
HTW?
Dean?
Downs?

3 more signings and a couple of detentions also.

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Wed Jul 29, 2015 4:11 pm  

Assuming Ellis moves to prop our second rowers next year would be Pritchard, Mini, Hadley, Whiting and Turgut. This doesn't include our loose forwards Westerman and Abdul both of whom can play second row if needed, or Washbrook and Thompson.

Surely we should take the chance of playing Turgut or even Jack Downs in the event of injuries or suspensions?

I really don't see that we need Yeaman even as back up, unless someone is leaving.
