I can see Yates making a return to the NRL. The London Broncos were relegated this year, and he only signed a 1-year deal so he'll be looking for a club. He is small sized, however I think more teams are looking for mobile, athletic packs rather than just big boppers who tire easily.
Cam Murray is the best comparison I can think of. Murray is in an entirely different class IMO, but he is also small sized for a lock. Raiders pack is much smaller and mobile this year also and they're going well. I think it's where the game is going. I'd love to see us take Yates back, although we've got plenty of forwards coming through in the juniors.
Brown had him training as a hooker last year.If Brown was still here he might consider bringing him back as a hooker...

It appeared Mann didn't train in that position but was chosen there anyway...My bad, forgot about that.
Probably would have been easier listing guys who weren't training in that position
Me too mate he is a damned good player and in my opinion everyone is entitled to there opinion and voice said opinion .I'd take Izzy in a heartbeat oppinions and all.

Oates is available again. Would fit the bill as strike centre?
