Val Holmes

[Geo]

Carney couldn't get an NRL contract registered in North Queensland what makes people think he will in Sydney..

 

[AnonTiger]

Same person who gave me the info last year. He told me to post last year and that was my first post.
He told me Val in serious talks with us but didnt say signed. He told me to post though. So he was confident.

 

[hsvjones]

This would be a great signing… Fingers crossed as we need to fill spots very soon..

 

[GNR4LIFE]

One thing is for sure, he won't last much longer at the Sharks. He's a square peg at that club.

 

[Eddie]

Dont know what i think of this.

Would be great to get a rep standard player. We need more quality players.

But do we want him on 800K (fullback money) as a fullback for 3-4 years?

Im not sure.

Great winger, but is he going to make a sideways/backwards move (Wing to Sharks to wing to Tigers- unlikely)

Knowing how Flanagan works id say its Sione Katoa on a small salary vs getting rid of the unhappy Holmes.

Id put money on Holmes to the Tigers.

For those saying he is a better winger, i ask you to forget what he is better at and ask is he a better fullback than Thompson.

I have my answer.

Your very positive about the possibility of this. Surprising for a member of this forum.

Not in my opinion…No..

Interesting development, quality player with the potential to be a solid fullback but is more a winger at this stage.

No way …Thompson can keep the 1 jersey for as long as he wants it !

Unfortunately i just have a very small opinion of Shane Flanagans man management.

It in his nature to turf Holmes.

Game changer?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'd take him, but I would not be playing him at fullback. We have a capable fullback there now, Holmes and Fonau on the wings could be quite a pairing.

What if we can get Meaney for next year?

Every single play here Holmes is playing fullback. If anyone can watch that and think that he can not be a quality fullback or that Corey Thompson is a better fullback well i give up.

There is class here that we just do not have.

I bet the blooper reel of Holmes at FB goes for 18mins..

Great in attack but doesn’t look comfortable under the high ball. I’d prefer Thomo at the back for now, he has earnt it. I’d still welcome Holmes on the wing tho. If he out-plays our current FB then he gets the gig.
