They moved on a fair number of contracted players (Walker/Prior) who probably didn't want to leave last year. It"s all about the art of the possible. That might involve paying some of Olpherts wages at a new club etc. I certainly would not rule his departure out. Ultimately, I'm not really that bothered whether he leaves or not as long as we can muster the cap space to bring in a decent prop.

Prop is definitely the priority. I can't get worked up about Olpherts. If he stays it would be nice if he can show better form. There's no way he'd have had the career he has if he was incapable of playing games without big errors, so its clearly become a mental issue.

Did we sign the stats rather than the player?

Maybe he does have more to show than we’ve seen but he’s not for me.

He’s on a good contract, as we went out of our way to sign him.
Best if we get behind him and team as a whole. Not going to leave for any pay cut….

Harry's gone a long way to answer some of the questions posed of him. Happy for him he really deserves it and I'm sure he can kick on with the boost of his England performances.
