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?

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.

Since he came back from the silly ban he has been posting some good numbers and is in form.

As a quota player id have preferred a specialist prop, but hes probably the best of whats off contract, just hope he doesnt slow the progress of some of our young middles, but if he comes with the right next man up attitude he could be great.
I know he has bought into life over here beng involve at junior rugby so a little surprised he hasnt renewed at hudds.

Burgess wants someone who hits hard in defence apparently….he fits the mould.

So, he is an import currently at Huddersfield, how old is he ?

Is anyone else finding this forum very slow at present ? It has seemed slow for a few days.

He's 29, as others have said strong in defence works hard in middle of park.

I think Yates will be a great signing. Knows the competition, appears to have settled well, hits hard and has a great engine. Not the biggest but he seems to really play above his weight.

Watched Yates a couple of years back.
A real tough work horse. Yes.
