Wilson is probably about the best fit for us given the options mentioned so far.

The club is clearly making a bid for glory next season: this isn’t a rebuild as much as a transformation. I’m sure we’ll do our best for a prop.

Hudson is very much a project signing and could go either way. We don’t have many first-grade ready options from academy so… it’s the obvious remaining weak spot.

Talk of Sinfield (Kevin) joining Warrington as an assistant to Burgess.

He's rumoured to be on the way out of the England set up, apparently

Felix Jones who is a former Ireland international who had to retire and is part of the South African coaching set up is joining England in January. Jones has won two world cups with South Africa. It is likely that will be as a replacement for Sinfield. Don’t think it is so much him throwing it away, rather he is being moved along.

Sam certainly knows what its like to be a scapegoat for an England Rugby Union defeat. So they would have that in common.

According to SARL Olpherts is not going to Leigh and wants to stay at Headingley. So many rumours written on these sites much of which is garbage and made up. Think we will have to be patient and see how this pans out. We certainly need cover on the wings and as things stand Olpherts provides that.

He does cover the wings but it is very poor cover.

According to Serious About Rugby League. However, there is nothing remotely serious about Serious About Rugby League. My guess is that Olpherts has been told that's he's surplus to requirements, so at some stage he will leave. As you say, there'll be some patience required.
