Yates is forgotten man because you will not notice him when he takes the field - a signing by GH to try and justify the dual registration fiasco. A poor man's Amour who will make Kirke look like Matt Scott

Maybe, but would prefer to judge him after seeing him play at this level rather than just writing him off before he has even started. Even so cuthbertson signing and the youngsters is a upgrade on kirke and bailey

I also see that McDermott is going to be helping out at Yorkshire Carnegie now that Mercer has been sacked.
So not only does our coach have little support at the Rhinos.
He now takes on extra responsibilities at YC.

Depends Cuthbertson could be another Ben Cross? On Yates I saw him a few times at Hunslet - I rest my case.

Much hype on here about him - I haven't seen anything to justify that, most on here are desperately clinging on to some hope that he is the real deal. We don't appear to have much depth outside of two 37 years, an unknown Aussies and a youngster who has yet to really deliver.

Imagine getting sacked after a run of eight games with two wins.

I suppose this time of year its mostly conditioning work so McDermott will have some free time - shows how seriously GH takes YC!!

I think appointing Mercer in the first place shows that.

Probably struggled to find anyone who wanted to take it on for the money he wanted to play.

Two years is a long time - a poor season in 2015 and I would feel sure the necessary changes in coaching and players will be in place for 2016. Not to make the top four in 2015 should see some changes in key positions.

I will mean at least 4 5 places to fill and probably more
