J20 that true, but because a good championship 1 player that does not mean a good championship player.Dewsbury smashed championship 1, but not smashing this league mate.Yates is good, but unsure good enough for top 4 teams for championship or superleague.Superleague we should be aiming for mate.

Yates isnt good enough, he will be released at the end of the year and will most probably end up at Rochdale. He's a good lad but to indecisive as a full back to ever make a good player.

Thank you offthecuff and J20, and Mr D, sorry if my post came across as disrespectful to Yates, he was no worse than half the team in the match, no finger pointing from me, infact one tackle he saved a certain try, I think we forget sometimes that 2 years ago many of our players were playing U18's and U'21s.

It was more Off The Cuffs remarks than yours to be honest.

Yacca did not have one of his best games granted
but to call him the worst full back is a bit strong
I was a bit nervous when to ball went in the air but not half as much as i used to be when Duncan Platt was playing full back

I thought that Scott’s main problem was his poor defence. Well it was much better today. He really needs to get his positional sense and confidence under the high ball sorted. If he can do that, he’ll be OK.

I’m not giving up on him just yet but, if he doesn’t show significant improvement in these areas soon, he may not get another chance. I can’t see him being at Widnes next season, if he cannot put his short comings right.
