The thing is Knocker Yeaman is from Hull, close to the coach and a long serving player..Had this not been the case he would never have been offered a contract extension based on his previous 2 years form.

With regard to extending his current contract for another year as someone has pointed out can you imagine the uproar on here if the club announced the signing of a 33 year old average centre for the 2017 season because thats what Yeaman is.

Is there still an end of season awards ceremony on this forum? Banker for post of the year.

Fixed that for you

So rather than have a useful debate about the pros and cons of the team and individual players based upon our signing and whom should be retained you resort to an inane childish post.

Truly pathetic and deraillment of thread...

I'd get rid of Yeamo too, but he's the only one that qualifies for the 10 year service £50k allowance. Now I wouldn't imagine he's on much more than that, so essentially he's a free player.



It's simply up to the likes of Logan/Griffin/Turgut/CT to be better than him.

Good signing is Griffin, think we'll still sign a 6 too.



Would imagine we'll move Michaels & Pryce on, think I'm right in saying Ellis & Mini have signed on to slightly reduced deals next year, so I certainly see enough cap room.



Don't want Soward though.

soward is 32 in november. would hope we would be looking at a younger half. also he's not been in decent form since 2014 after his first season at penrith

Didn't Houghton make his debut in 2007, so would that count next year?

Correct, so £50k doesn't count on his salary next year if we release KY

It does make me laugh that people comment that £50k is a "free" player, still have to pay them £50k, how many posting on here get that?

It's £50k off the SC though. I think that's what people are getting at. £50k to spend on another players wage.
