Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3087847, member: 9326"] Look, honestly this is a pretty positive signing for the club. In form, he's a pretty devastating Winger. He's obviously coming off a pretty poor season but the same could be said for probably 25/30 of our squad. An improved Broncos attack will see an improved Oates in my opinion. I also think the guy has taken one for the team over the years, sticking at making it as a Winger despite always being a Backrower and pretty obviously having a passion to return to that position at some point, but he's stuck at the Wing position for the good of the team and in his time he's really made the spot his own and deserves at least a little credit for that loyalty and lack of selfishness. Given Isaako seems quite likely to be going to Fullback next season, retaining Oates on our other Wing ensures some stability on that edge and means we wont be lumped with Boyd and/or a Rookie(s) on our Wings for an entire season. The most important thing here is how much this just cost us. as long as the $$$ were realistic for both parties and in line with what a club should be spending on their Wingers, then I think there is plenty of reasons to be pleased with this re-signing.
