New mark looms for Oates

Corey Oates is well on track for his most profitable try-scoring season in his 10 years in the big league.The Broncos flyer's career looked all but over last season when he suffered a series of injuries and managed just four touchdowns.But Oates' double in the 36-14 win over Parramatta on Thursday sees him on 16 tries for the season, just two short of his best-ever haul of 18.And with the Broncos' new general Adam Reynolds giving Oates plenty of opportunities, the Queensland Origin flanker should cruise past that mark in coming weeks.Big, strong and fast, Oates is the prototype modern-day winger who makes the hard yards for his team, taking the pressure off his forwards.
