That was Olpherts

GH said it would be sorted within 7-10 days about a week ago, so I expect something this week. Also the players on WC duty haven't yet come back to training? That would include MacDonald.

Frosties on the Macdonald thread: He isn’t just going to come out and say he’s signed though is he? MacDonald had his photos in his Leeds kit at weekend and I’d be surprised if he isn’t announced tomorrow

When GH poured initially denied he'd been signed he said he expected progress on the final quota spot in the next 7 to 10 days. It's been 10 days, so an update is due.

I genuinely think that, even though Leeds Live have said Nene MacDonald as a done deal and club haven’t confirmed it, that the deal may have fallen through. I don’t see why Leeds wouldn’t have confirmed it by now.

I think this has to be the case. From Handley's interview, Olpherts is training at left centre.

It's obvious the club have been after Macdonald for ages. RS must rate him highly to have pursued him over other avaliable players for this long. Hope there's a plan B if it has fallen through.

Might be just over thinking it but it’s been a while since his photos were taken at the club, as said on the other, could his medical been done afterwards?

I liked it when the specifically created a black range for Black Friday then discounted to straight away

Or it could be that Leigh want to announce he`s leaving before we can confirm the signing.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Nov 28, 2022 10:56 pm  

Personally I think we should not assume he is a Rhinos player until it is announced. I know lots don’t give credence to GH saying he has not signed for us as GH has been known for saying one thing one day and something different the next. However he just might have been telling the truth and Leeds Live got it wrong. Maybe Leigh are fighting to keep him or want someone else in before releasing him who knows we will just have to wait and maybe it was whoever saw him having is photo taken with his shirt at Headingley was mistaken.
I am still confident we will sign a centre and if Olpherts is a utility then he will need to work on being a centre. Having a good Utility is good for the team surely.
