Dave Hollis was in our reserves in the opening rounds of the NRL but now Hollis is playing Jersey Flegg. Not even reserve grade. Is this because he is not developing as a NRL player? I know that his family farm was effected by the floods and as a result they lost many possessions.

He has looked a bit out of his depth at times in reserves so I'm thinking down to flagged to get some bigger minutes
He's 19. It's a big ask to go from zero football last year to men's football this year. He's held his own but I think the club feels he'd get more minutes if he's back in Flegg. The club has done a good job at managing the workload of their juniors in the past few seasons and I'm sure we'll see Hollis back in reserve grade later in the year.
Yea and Stone is our only injured foward right now. So all our fringe fowards are playing reserve grade as well, making it hard for Hollis to get game time.
It was mentioned by a few of the guys that follow the younger teams that 2021 was most likrly going to be a hurdle too high for Hollis so I am not reading too much into this move.
Let's see where he is after round 16.
He's still quite lean and 19 (nearly 20) is very young for a middle forward. Wiremu Greig is a fully grown giant and he only just made his debut five months after turning 21.
