Hayes has broken 1 bone, dislocated his ankle and done his ligaments.
Got to have his ankle pinned.
Club currently sorting out where to send him.

if you're not not getting a 6'4 18 stone monster, you're getting a 5'10 squat person, then you want him to be better than your current 5'10 middle, he's a lot better in defence than philbin, he's been pretty highly rated since coming over here.

He's probably a much much better version of what we expected from jason clark in terms of doing a lot of mopping up.

I'm quite excited at the thought of him and Fitzgibbon defending together

Overall, I’ve thought of Yates as Hudds all-round best player the last few seasons. I also liked the look of McQueen for a while, but I feel Yates is more consistent even though he doesn’t grab the limelight as much.

I’d be very happy with this signing. It’s a 17 man game, so not too fussed at who starts in the 13.

Yep. I am not bothered really who he replaces. All I know is that Yates is very very likely to be in the 17 every week.

No, but he has been all we could’ve wanted, slotted in wherever he was asked and always made a decent fist of it, possibly at the expense of his personal ambitions. I would hope every Wire fan would wish him well. A possible punditry role when he retires I would think.

He has been a great signing and clubman over a long period of his career, since starting originally at Salford.

I always thought that he would be the ideal type of player to move into coaching once his playing days ended.

Maybe offer him a role at Academy/Scholarship level as an assistant and see how he does?
