TBF if judged as a Super League centre I think Yeaman is an excellent defensive centre but other than that he's a nothing player.

Good point Ducky, shame some of your lot have a beef with him

Not really, he flicked the V's up to the Rovers fans at the KC last year whilst there were kids present - the guy is an idiot.

As I said, other than being decent defensively the guy is a nothing player in SL terms and that's probably why he gets so upset that his career hasn't panned out like he wanted it because the harsh reality is that he's averagely average.

Yeah he was so what I'm saying is he can't be that well rembered can he not like fielden peacock ect oh and longey

As a loyal Queenslander I was shocked and disappointed when Big Willie came to the Cowboys last year. He had a terrible reputation and had done nothing for the Roosters in 2009.

I am happy to say I was proven wrong and wish he was still with us in 2011. He was very professional and gave his best every week in a losing team. He is really motivated and excitable and will give the team enthusiasm.

I reckon you have a great signing, and in a few weeks he will be playing good football for Hull.

When he came to Townsville he was booed on to the field for his first game. By the end of the season he was a crowd favourite and everyone loved Big Willie. He is about as bright as a five watt light bulb but very frank and honest in his media interviews so they are actually very funny.

I remember at an away game in Canberra one of the wags in the crowd had a sign that said. COWBOYS CAN KEEP THEIR BIG WILLIE BECAUSE WEVE GOT A BIG TONGUE. (Their hooker was and still is Allan Tongue).

He spent 2009 coming back from a ruptured acl in a out of form roosters side what did you expect?

Thanks for dropping by.

Nice to have some recent input into Willie's attributes, although it does tend to contradict the well-held view that he's past it and only here for the cash.

Yeah true, he clattered Longy a few times off the ball that day too...

Judging by Willie's first up performance, if he is only doing it for the cash and he is past it then you must be paying him a lot of cash. Clever move by your club I would say.

If all Aussies/Tongans/Kiwi's came over here and played like Willie did in his first outing I don't think there would be too many problems with pensions being payed!

Leeds have Lauitit, Wigan had and now Salford have Feka, Bradford for years had Vagana and other successful clubs have these big units that can offload in impossible situations. I am quite sure that with a fully fit squad Rovers can challenge.

As a side note, while he was playing I kept thinking he is like a fitter Michael Smith! Massive, difficult to tackle and a very accurate offload! For anyone that wants to have a go about Smiffy just remember he was being talked about for selection for NZ while playing in the National Leagues!!
