Well that will add depth for sure. I would guess the prop is Hudson and I’ll have a stab on the winger and say Greg Eden

Eden would be fine, so long as he is signed to play wing AND WING ONLY.

How many games will Fusi play?

More than Olpherts…

Although Eden has plenty of mistakes in him and capable of almighty brain farts, he does know his way to the try line.

Whilst I wouldn’t be wanting to sign him (as overall I think he’s gash) IF it was a straight choice between Eden and Olpherts (and you were forced to take one of them) I’d take Eden every day

He reportedly left as Fev had offered him 2 years. He's still decent but will likely only play half the games due to injury. He might be a cheap replacement squad filler but I don't see him as a top 4 winger, which is what I would judge the signing by.

Hopefully all season but probably 5 games

He played 17 last year. Not great but moving in the right direction. If he can play 22 plus games he'll be a massive asset.

The biggest problem with Fusitua is arguably the lack of service he's received at Leeds, which given our half-back and centre predicaments is not his fault. Handley wasn't great last season either, and had a fair few injuries too.

The new half backs and centre should help, it's just hoping he plays 80%+ and not 50% or less.
We need his power to help out the pack early sets and his skill in the opposition 20

I wonder why the delay on Hudson announcement - maybe they’re putting him through the paces medically first after Achilles - Gale had similar didn’t he?

I don’t think Eseh has been confirmed to Saints yet either which makes me wonder there too.

Wing - I’d hope we’d give Simpson first shot and we have Edgell and Lumb who could hold the fort too. The only rationale for another winger would be if we let Olpherts go early.
