Is this from the same source you quoted when "Currie out for 6 weeks"?

Gutted for him was playing well too. Quick Recovery!

Drinkwater back to halves then, doesnt rip out any trees.

lets hope he has a resurgence like kelly shelford did when he was brought back into the team after a huff in 1996

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?

Where does he play and who does he displace, doubt he'd want to come in to be a bench player.
I'd be happy with him in the team but like i said before, i'm just unsure where he would play?

WTF is Yates ?

I was going to say Wine Lodge and if it's for next season as part of planned outgoings and incomings then my first reaction is 'Blob On'.

OR if it's this year, I'd say he's an upgrade on Kasiano and Dudson at this stage of their careers.
