Understand Leeds Rhinos are in advanced talks with Castleford Tigers winger Derrell Olpherts.
so we're getting rid of the deadwood, and bringing down the average age of the squad, so that we can sign some more 30yo deadwood? in the interview he even says he wants to go somewhere to play (aka not be Briscoes replacement as back up) either this is complete pap or theres some disjointed thinking

If it happens it makes you wonder who’s calling the shots. Can’t imagine Smith stomping into see GH and demanding a move for Olpherts.

Prior is coming to the end of his playing career, his current Leeds deal is likely to be his last playing contract, or at least his last high value playing contract. I’d be very surprised if he walked away from that. Prior will be with us in 2023.

He might want decent cover/competition for the outside backs without using up a large proportion of the salary, Broadbent has left and Briscoe is likely to leave. It’s not just about the 1-13, our players with squad numbers 18-25 have played plenty of games for us this year.
