Tate is on 400k a year and spending most of it on the sidelines so patience may be wearing thin there, personally I think they would be better off using that money on a halfback. Bit harsh on a couple of them mate, Vatuvei on his day is devastating, and Mannering delivers week in week out. They do have a guy who looks the goods in the 20s, Shaun Johnson, but he is maybe a year away from being ready, but if they start badly I can see him being thrown in mid season
On McKinnon, off contract at the end of the year, and have heard people say "he is a cancer at the club" with his attitude, and another rumour going round is that he has been training woefully and Hohaia and Locke are fighting it out for the fullback spot, Locke is a pretty special talent
