Be surprised if Yates was given a spot in the back row, he’s a prop or 13 all day long. You would think considering we were looking to increase Nicholsons contract we have cap space spare to bring in a direct back row replacement.
Could always promote Holroyd, he’s certainly done nothing wrong this year, either way - We must have cap space to play with.
If Yates has come into prop, why give Bullock a two year extension. When he can’t even make the match day roster. Even Burgess was vocal about Bullock been abit lackadaisical in and around training.
I think Smithies wasn't expected to be starting 13 for Raiders this year but Corey Horsborough missed the first few games and Smithies has performed very well. Even when Horsborough has been available, Smithies has still started.

Just watched the Dolphins/ Canberra game and Smithies had a good game. Now Nicholson’s desire is to be a 13 so unless they going to move Smithies he will have to settle at 2nd row or in NRL I don’t think he would be out of place at centre.
