Isiah's post seems to contradict that?

Completely agree, but as it says talks are ongoing and maybe money talks here.... all i've been told is we're almost there but he wants maybe longer deal than is currently on the table. I have nothing concrete and don't claim to, just been told thats all....

If he, Kimmorley or Finch do come to the UK then our club must be the destination for one of them otherwise we've failed totally and deserve to suffer as a result. No more half measures acceptable in the SH position.

Orford was born in 1978, so he's 31 now, if he wants more than a two year deal then we best stay well clear.

Well it seems it's either pay big for 12/24 months or let him have 3/4 yrs teaching the youngsters a thing or two!!
