FWIW I think Johnson and O’Connor are the same age, Rohan seems to prefer the defence of O’Connor over the distribution and pace of Johnson,

Johnson didn’t really get a chance at 9 last year other than 10 15 min spells when the pack were already beaten . Played more in the half’s without ever training there.

Will be interesting to see how the season starts with them.

I asked about Kershaw and he thought he had already signed.
He thought Kershaw was unlucky not to get a new contract at Wakefield.
But went on to say that his one big weakness is bringing the ball out of the 25 and tends to lose the ball on impact.
He also added that if they could coach that occasional lack of ball retention out of him he has the strength and pace to bag a try or three.

Kershaw sounds very similar. We have Roberts. Simpson and Momirovski who could play wing if needed. Why sign another player who is not good enough and waste more cap on probably a 2 year deal. Just keep Olpherts, see if he is better next year and if not let him go.
