I've mentioned this on another thread but not sure what others think...I really rate this kid. I think once a team invests fully in him they will reap the benefits over the long term.

Both Wigan & Catalans have gone out their way to take him out the game as I believe they recognise that he balances our team. Plus, he turns 4 into 6- how many games have slipped away from us because we haven't converted trys' and penalties?

He's not the type of player to break the line and doesn't really have that electrifying pace but he's an excellent rudder for the team...and surely not a massive salary either?

Ignore this...I've only just stupidly noticed the other thread.

Apologies.

You've just described exactly what Luke Walsh will bring to the table next year, at a higher level of execution.

He's done well but we don't need him for next year, we need a runner at 6. Next year Yates and Charnock should be close to ready to provide cover if needed.

Yates won't make it at Saints, apparently not being retained as per Rugby Leaguer

Danny Yates has only just turned 19 - why would they release him???

Reports suggest he's been very good this season and someone said he was brilliant in the vicotry over Leeds u19s.

Unless he's got real tags on himself and is kicking up a stink like Andy Bracek did, I can't seem him going anywhere until the end of next season.
