He posts vids of himself on there. Looks strong in the tackle and his stats reflect that this season.tigerfeat wrote:I honestly can't remember him playing I will try and look on you tube see if I can get a view of him
We will get a good chance to see how good he is over next few weeks with Salford on tv Friday then at Magic Weekend.

Re: Olpherts
I’m trying to be as optimistic as possible about the signing & He should address one big problem we’ve had & that’s coming out of our own 20/40 metres. The backs this year have really let the forwards down in this respect for me.

Re: Olpherts
Can he go length of pitch if he can he’s a improvement on Clare.

Re: Olpherts
He's fast, probably faster than Eden but I've seen this guy not long ago playing amateur rugby and wasn't anything special. If he gets away not many will catch him but like all our wingers, he's suspect under the high ball and can't read the game. Hope he proves me wrong, i really do.
Re: Olpherts
To be honest most good wingers spill ball I saw charnley do it this afternoon

Re: Olpherts
I wouldn’t be too disappointed with this. From what I’ve seen of him he brings the ball out of yardage strong, is quick and not afraid to back himself. I’m fed up with watching our wingers blow potential chances by cutting back inside all of the time. Someone who will back themselves going for the line must be worth a shout.
Re: Olpherts
A poor mans Eden. Pretty quick but mistake ridden. Hardly an upgrade put it that way.
Re: Olpherts
On James Clare this bloke a massive upgrade!!! However, still think we could’ve signed a better player to play outside Blair.The Firm wrote:A poor mans Eden. Pretty quick but mistake ridden. Hardly an upgrade put it that way.

Some Salford fans saying good in yardage and has threat in attack but positionally and defensively very dubious.The Firm wrote:A poor mans Eden. Pretty quick but mistake ridden. Hardly an upgrade put it that way.
Re: Olpherts
Very true on both counts. Problem is Clare should have never been on the wing, Minikin should have been. And Olphets is no better than him.Fumper27 wrote:On James Clare this bloke a massive upgrade!!!

Re: Olpherts
I did say it was a done deal 100% ... Daughter went out with him for a few months, still talks to him, signed the contract this week just gone, he’s another bang average winger to add to our collection
Re: Olpherts
Very uninspired signing hope he is just back up
Re: Olpherts
Give him a chance if true if he comes in and scores a bagfull of tries he'll be the next messiah on ere cant win

Re: Olpherts
Ironically the two outside backs we let go last season were the best we had at this, Webster with his strength and uncompromising style of play, and Jy with his speed and willingness to get to get too his feet for a quick ptb, I can’t remember once this season an outside backs won us a penalty for this, Jy did this regular.steadygetyerboots-on wrote:I’m trying to be as optimistic as possible about the signing & He should address one big problem we’ve had & that’s coming out of our own 20/40 metres.

Re: Olpherts
Correct people say Webster was finished I don't think he was he could have done a job this season Hitchcock and Webster or Clare and Minikin ...hindsights a great thing you make your choices and hope you get it right

Re: Olpherts
By sounds of it we've acted quick n replaced Minikin who was probly told he was going to be a winger n choice to fight for centre somewhere else.
Clare will just be happy to be back up at cas.
