Yes

Bigger stronger Safer. I think the only thing id say Olpherts is faster
if he is so good why his he not dotting over the line , just tell me how many the lad as he scored for us ?
If you think Olpherts is betting than faraimo thats perfectly fine but id rather have Faraimo in my team over Olpherts.

I don't believe Olpherts can play on the right edge so, by default, yes I prefer Faraimo over him. Plus, Faraimo is already under contract for another 2 years. Both Eden and Olpherts are out of contract and I'd be giving Eden another contract renewal over Olpherts. We can't sign them all.
Olpherts usually plays on our right wing, with Faraimo, Eden or QQ on the left. Faraimo has also played RW but I can’t remember QQ or Eden playing there.
If Olpherts goes to Leeds, Faraimo would be the obvious choice for RW but he’s much slower than Olpherts and doesn’t run the ball out anywhere near as well.
My hope would be that QQ can be converted to play RW and Eden is given another (1 year?) contract so we have 2 real speedsters as first choice wingers for 2023.

Yes we won't lack for pace in the backline with mamo and evalds as well
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

Danny Richardson given a 2 year deal then. Out of curiosity, do we know our definite comings and goings for the next season? I know it's early yet but am curious about how we look for 2023

Doesn't look like we are going to bring in any quality front rowers, must be none available, oh wait a minute Wire have signed 5.

Exactly. Luke Gale being a perfect example of this.

Looks like Fonua is staying for another year. He signed a one year deal last season, but has options for a second and third, which looks likely to be taken up by player and club.

To be honest I don’t mind Fonua staying. Yes he frustrates me at times with his ball retention but, he gives us good go forward and is a handy player to have in the squad coming off the bench

Maybe one of your sources could confirm either way?

one big thing in Fanuas favour is he is durable not missing many matches after a slow start he as improved as the season as got on a year extension reviewed after the next season is over sounds about right to me these long contacts can work against you s we have witnessed

OK squad player but then takes up a quota spot.
Would love to see us bring in a big fast centre.
