Rumor: Souths interested in Kirk Yeaman

Kirk Yeaman, who has South Sydney officials excited.

Yeaman, due to arrive in Sydney later this week with Great Britain coach Brian Noble and the other members of the Tri-Nations squad involved in the premiership decider at Old Trafford, has been targeted by the Rabbitohs for 2008.

Shane Richardson, a former part-owner of Hull FC, was among the record crowd of 72,582 that also included Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand, and the Souths chief executive revealed to the Herald that the reason for his trip was partly to try to persuade 23-year-old Yeaman to join the Russell Crowe-controlled club.

"Kirk Yeaman is a very good player. In fact, I rate him as one of the best young centres in the game," Richardson said.

Introduced to first grade by Rabbitohs football director Shaun McRae, who coached Hull for six seasons from 1999, Yeaman's attributes include a strong right fend that has helped land him 23 tries in 21 matches for Hull this year.

sounds excting

Wow, Souths do look at players that aren't Kiwi and old...

Nah, this would be a good signing for Souths. Be interesting how much Yeaman would be after though, I'm sure he's on a few pound over there. Souths may end up having the 2 highest paid centres running around.

How much money does souths have to spend on players ?. Hed be a great asset to souths and the NRL hopefully he does come over here.
This shall be interesting though.

[PROMETHEUS]

Yeah he scored 23 tries in 21 games BUT if he does sign watch the defensive lines in the nrl sort him out! :dead:

He would be a good signing for Souths, He's a top young player so it would be good for his career if he tested himself in the NRL. It would also be good for Great Britan come Tri Nations time, so they would have a few players with NRL experience like Titan Richie Mathers.

a good buy by the sounds of it.

Souths really do have a bit of money to splash around don't they.

[Pale Ale Panther]

hope they get him, Souths are the Joker in the pack in 07 could finish anywhere from top 4 to spoon ???? will be good to watch what unfolds......

shall be interesting. England is an underutilized talent area. Hopefully he still is potent with tougher defence in front of him. Also if he can handle the defence in the NRL.
