Good Good, frees up much needed cap space all being well. Will we look to spend it?

Cap space cleared for this season with Johnson out on loan and Olpherts out permanent. Also means Roberts second choice winger now behind Fusitua.

Writing was always on the cards when we were trying to get Kershaw in.
The emergence of Roberts has probably put the Kershaw signing to one side now.
Tbf Olpherts didn`t do too bad in the friendly although I`m not saying we should have kept him!

Right decision for club and player. We move forward.

It does but i reckon it might be next season when it is is used.Only three senior players off contract Fuss,Dono and Martin.Plus there will be upgrades.

Good luck to him, but good riddance one of the worst signings in the clubs history, poor excuse of an RL player

A signing a lot of people didn't want and weren't willing to give a chance, he then made some big errors and never seemed to recover his confidence back.

Good luck to him, Championship is probably more his standard.

This signing sums up Rohan Smith as a coach. For every James McDonell signed, you'll get a Derrell Olpherts. For every decent half of free flowing attacking rugby, you have to endure a half of utterly abysmal rugby. When Gary said he was the most balanced candidate, I didn't know he meant this!

Wonder if we will use it to bring in a prop..
