  • French could go to the Cowboys as well. Very similar to Barba in the way they play.

    • Yeah I was wondering that 

      • Yes, the French thing at Parra is interesting.

        Where does he play if he is actually named in the team? He's too good for reggies yet I'm not so sure he has a place in our team.

        I still think that he would make a great halfback given time. He has it all. Great passing game, can kick and is quick between the ears. He has solidified his defense enough to play the front line too.

        With the history Barba has, I'm wondering why he was given a gig in this match in the first place.

         

        • It was fan voted. Each club put up their Maori and Indigenous players that were available and fans voted on the squad.

          • Rightyo then.

            Stoopid fans.

             

    • The Cowboys will use Ben Hampton or Carlin Anderson there, maybe even Te Maire Martin. The Cowboys would’ve have had an insurance policy in place should they needed to get rid of Barba.

  • I think they will have a temporary replacement for this year.  Then Holmes will fail in The NFL and will come back to Australia and sign with NQ as he is from Townsville originally.  That will be in 2020, he can never return to Cronulla, he burned his bridges with them.  

     

    • Heard talk of Holmes to NQ but thought he promised to return to sharks as part of the deal for him leaving mid contract 

      they do have a lot of outside backs but no specialist FB

      • Haynes said he would come back to Parra after the NFL but didn't. Even if it is a clause in his get out contract Cronulla wouldn't try to force Holmes to go back to there.

        • The deal was that Holmes would play for Sharkes this year if he doesn’t get picked up in the NFL. He will be playing for the Cowbous in 2020.
