Oledzki had a poor season in comparison to the standards he had set over the last couple. "Garbage" is an extreme way of describing his performances, which for me were still full of effort and endeavour, but short on brains. The same could be said of the vast majority of team performances. Holdroyd, all in all, had a cracking season and recieved some international recognition on the back of it. He's a far more natural prop than Walters, who doesn't seem to see himself in the position. Lisone started to give us the kind of impact we gave missed for a while when he settled. The crowd certainly get excited when he charges the ball in, which isn't a bad indication of his progress. Walters had some great individual moments and I wish he was still at the club, but I'm not going to make a mountain out of a molehill about his departure like you want to.

If you think it is a mountain out of a molehill then fine that is your prerogative , my opinion is we have lost one of the best British talents because we played plodders and journeymen before him . Time will tell who is correct

How did Leeds mess him about?

They chose to play others before him who were not as good and lacked his potential , they were negotiating on that basis at the time , hence what they offered was not up to scratch . Wigan offered more and a regular place in the team because they know the that he has the potential to be a G.B international .

It's a matter of perspective, I suppose. If you want to make the departure of a 22 (he'll be 23 by the time a ball is kicked next season) year old who'd played about 20 unremarkable 1st team games when he decided to leave, the big thing about this year's recruitment and retention then that's your prerogative. I"m sad he's gone but I moved on from it about 4 months ago.

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.

If they told me the sky was blue I’d look outside. Just a clickbait page with no sources and just copy and paste jobbies

My point exactly

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Nov 04, 2023 7:18 am  

Olpherts will be on the best deal he's ever had. He isn't leaving.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Sat Nov 04, 2023 9:47 am  

Hopefully olpherts gets his head right next year. Not ideal when a reserve comes in and makes errors. That said, it's not that long ago that Tom briscoe was first choice and just as subject to crises of confidence. If DO's performances are the main talking point next year it'll mean the rest of the team are very flat. Or have got an awful lot right.

That's not exclusive to SARL though is it.

Its RL journalism as a whole
