If Drinkwater does leave I think that leaves us with 3 quota spaces available for next year assuming Tai goes back too. Dufty, Vaughan, Musgrove and Fitzgibbon will be our contracted quota players remaining. Not saying we need to use it in full just for the sake of it but it does open up potential opportunities if the right players are available.

Yates is big mates with Fitzgibbon from days at Newcastle together I believe

I know a few were keen for us to sign McMeeken, well he as signed a 4 year deal with Wakefield

If it would have taken a four year contract to get McMeeken, I'm glad we didn't as four years for a prop at age 31 this time next year is a bit silly.

Agreed about McMeeken. His prime years have been the last 2-3 years. 4 years is a bit long. He also had a bit of a stinker against Wigan last night.

Well if steve mcnamara let's him go, ...etc
