Does this mean Andy Yates' chances of a new deal are all but over?

94% tackle success rate for Mullally per Opta.



Of Leeds other props, only Peacock (95%) has a higher success rate.



Doesn't back up qualms about his defence.

i think he will be a good signing get not trying to knock gaints but when we got lunt on loan in our squad he played awesome but wasnt the same player when he went back playing in the gaints team. a good preseason and working with our conditioning coaches etc we could be a great signing. better than an over the hill journey man from nrl. another cuthbertson would be great though. still hope we sign a few more its not like we wont have room on the salary cap

Yes, do those flaws about fitness and penalties speak more about Hudds than it does the player.

I live next door to him and I didn't even know!

You're.

Ian Kirke Mk11

....and it's





It's easy: [iits[/i is the possesive;[i it's[/i only ever the abbreviation for it is

I'll bet that Mullally would settle for as many GF rings as Kirke won



and also for him to earn the right to be able to call the Saints his Grand Final Bitches just like Kirke can would top it off nicely i would have thought?

With this signing we have cuthbertson as the main prop. Singleton.



3 up and coming projects like mulhern mulally and baldwinson. A stopgap quality Paul Gallen wouldn't go a miss for a few years

If this opta measure was the definitive measure of defence then that would be true.



Mullally is often so far out of position that he cannot even attempt a tackle. In his first 5-10 minutes he also prone to enthusiastically jump out of the line and end up failing to make a tackle. A fair few of his tackles are the easier third man in variety. I think his number of carries and tackles is far lower than most props at Leeds.



The lad is keen and Leeds are a top club so there is a good chance he will move from being a project player to an established prop, but it will require plenty of work.
