From the T & A today:
Quote Connor Murphy="Connor Murphy"
Wantaway scrum half Matt Orford is expected to be granted a release to return to the NRL once the club secure satisfactory compensation for their prized asset and contingency plans are already being explored.
But the Telegraph & Argus understands reports of interest in French international Maxime Greseque are wide of the mark and the club appear more likely to turn to Australia in their search for a new No 7.
'"
That to me suggests we are in the end game and about 1 week to 10 days max from this whole thing from being resolved and it's an Aussie that replaces Orford (probably stating the obvious). I'm keeping my fingers crossed as Wallace looks the only credible rumour involving an Aussie and I'd be pretty pleased with that. Just need a 6 then but acording to some that looks like it might be sorted too.
