An upgrade on the current version of Briscoe, I suppose

Decent player but I just don`t get it unless Fusi is going back home.
If he isn`t going back home why would Olpherts be happy as back up?

Direct replacement for Briscoe.

Not someone who I would have said we should be signing but I’m trusting Smith that he’s got a plan of the type of side he wants.

His stats for this year are very good!

Some well overdue pace added to the backline. In Rohan we trust.

Its a decent but baffling signing, there is likely some more outs behind the scene, Hardaker maybe not staying, Walker and Sutcliffe rumoured going, obviously Briscoe gone, just don’t see where he gets in on our best 1-5

He might not be signed to be in our best 5.

We need to build a good squad not a good 13 players

Pointless signing, just blocks Liam Tindall. He’s already 30. Baffling.

not totally convinced with Tindall just yet

Yes we do, but as others have stated we ate not in need if wingers. Still it us a decent signing competition for places and always injuries

He’s still young, he’s only 20, I think he’s a great prospect but he’s still got loads to learn

Olpherts > Briscoe
Hooley > Broadbent

Exactly - it’s about improving the squad

It is. And from what I've seen of Smith's methods so far, he seems to believe in allowing players to recover from injury. Maybe to the point of forgoing big names in pursuit of greater squad depth.

Tell me we haven’t given a 30 year old third choice winger a 3 year contract starting next season. Somebody please tell me…

I can’t tell you Batley

Odd given we have 3 wingers already,like the fullback lad with 3-4 in front.

Wonder if more leaving ( Walker,Hardaker, Sutcliffe, Myler?)

This hasn't been confirmed yet

Still a rumour

Ha at odds to what some on here have been saying about age, but if Rohan thinks he’s worth it then fair play from me……

(Pedant mode on) - it's Derrell not Darell - (Pedant mode off.)

One thing about Olpherts is he has only played SL for 5 years so has not got as many miles on the clock as most 30 year olds.
Think he’s still improving, carries the ball very well and finishing well. Think handling and defensive reads can be improved.

Huddersfield have just signed up Cudjoe for a year at 36 !

Defensive liability

He started at Dewsbury in 2012, so has been playing for 10 years. SL since 2018 so around half that time.

My beef isn’t so much with him as a player, he’s just unnecessary especially when we have much more pressing issues than who plays second fiddle winger.

I know what you are saying, I’m a little concerned about the signings mooted so far as think we still need real class not projects but if Rohan is the messiah and not just a naughty boy, I guess we need to have faith, I’m trying to convince myself more than you.
Up the Peoples Front of Judea.

I’m pretty sure the correct response to that would be censored…
