id take brent tate as his qualitys are there for everyone to see....BUT he has had 2 knee reconstructions and plays with a specially designed neck brace on every game!!

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.

tate has had 3 career threatening injuries....thats got to be a new fc record if he signs...

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.

2010 Brough to Rovers, Cooke to Hull FC

Another rumour was Brough to Saints, can't see it though personally.

players who are released in australia do not claim a fee.....
tate woukld be released from the warriors such as luaki was...

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?
