Deary me. Really feel sorry for Olpherts. Top in the league for tackle busts, 2nd in the league for carries, 3rd in the league for metres. Scores two tries in every three games and plays in 90% of matches. Clearly not good enough!

Indeed. He has great stats, as good as the best in SL. Like i've said earlier he's prone to an error but he'll get much better coaching. Its not a bad signing at all. Batley needs to calm down a bit

A clear upgrade on Briscoe (of the last few seasons)

Now announce a centre and a prop

I doubt we will be signing a prop but I'm hopeful of Macdonald signing.

If he has they are over the OS quota

He's probably looking at the new Kit they've released and calling Gary Hetherington as we speak

can you be over the quota and cap out of season?
honest question. I've no idea

Good question. I assume you can’t be out of season but then you just wouldn’t be allowed to register/play all the players.

Didn’t Hull Kr have to deregister someone (Campese) for Willie Masons (short and terrible) stint.

I think the cap is live and you need to be within it at all times, so you can’t try and fiddle it by trying to backload or frontload paying someone a load of coin in winter. But I don’t know for sure.

I expect Leigh have some room to adapt from Championship to L1 re. The number of overseas they have.

Reading Matt Shaw, the rules were changed and it's no longer live. Has to be balanced out by year's end but you can be paying higher for a while.

They’ve 8 on quota apparently… surely can’t be allowed
