They are both finished as S/L quality players
Both will be very difficult to move on because of salary but i see little point in keeping these two in the fold.
Makes sense to try and move Connor on for a fee and use some of the money to either pay them off or contribute to their salary at a new club

If they have both done what has been alleged and are as poor as suggested, which team do you think will want to take them off you hands. Maybe terminating contracts due to their behaviour would be a more realistic option. If all the allegations are true that is!

I agree it’s going to be very difficult to move them on, same as other players we’d like to see go.
What we have now though is a new coaching regime, and players won’t be able to behave how they have in the past and their be no consequences. AP will back the coaches now, as players can’t hide behind any perceived coaching deficiencies.

Of course they are. They are literally rumours unless you can prove the stories are true.

Think they must be because both of those incidents are sackable offences and they wouldn’t need paying off.

Trouble is you can sprout any s Hite then just say it's rumour. Am sure that some maybe true but there's a lot of made up stuff to suit whatever agenda your plowing

Wire are looking to offload Oli Holmes. We're desperate for a second row.

To be honest at present whilst not a world beater he would at least be an option that would improve our 2nd row options and still leave us with a quota spot, though all depends on how much his wage demands would be.

I imagine he'll be on a fair bit at Wire. They might need to make some cap space to sign Clifford

If so and Wire want to move him on then they'll likely have to pay him off and at this late stage not many clubs would have room for him. I'm surprised if Wire are looking to move him on when Powell took him from Cas with him unless Powell is not happy with him.
