Just one thought, if Tate comes then Moa won't be staying as we don't have two spots.

The thing is Paul if Dowes, Cusack, Lauaki & O`Meley are our 4 starting props for next season would we want to use our final overseas spot on someone who may only be a back up prop, i think they will use it for a back and Tate ceratinly has some pedigree its just whether the knee reconstructions have taken there toll on his body.

Under contract till 2010 at the Warriors too, so I don't know if they'd be willing to release him or if we'd pay a fee for him.

Turned down Saints, wants to stay this side of Pennines.

Can't see it myself but source has been right before (but more often wrong)

One part of it is more than likely right. The other part isn't.

Suppose it could depend on where Inu's playing next year, maybe they're one of those interested?
