Sat patiently waiting for Abe to shed some light on the cheeky rumer of Luke Yates

I'm not sure where yates would fit in for us to be honest, great tough as nails player, but with Currie at 13 and Fitz and Nicholson in the second row, with Crowther and Holroyd backing that up. I just don't see where he would slot in, i know he's played prop from time to time but is he what we'd need in the prop rotation? I'd say no.

No need for him as a 13, and too small for a prop, so it`s a no from me.

A deal for Yates is nearly done. Just a few contract bits to sort.

It is becoming very clear that Burgess wants tough defensive players to stay in the game and use flair players like Williams, Ashton, Dufty and Wrench to break up play. It’s the likes of replacing low mobility low minutes players like Kasiano and Dudson with strong defensive hard working forwards. We already have Harrison, Nicholson, Crowther and there are not many better out there than Yates. It’s a yes please from me.

An immediate deal, or for next season onwards?
