Rumours have emerged that both the Cronulla Sharks & Parramatta Eels are interested in a player trade involving Josh Hoffman & Valentine Holmes.
Reportedly, the Eels will offer Hoffman over whilst paying some amount of his salary and the Sharks are willing to shed Holmes with the Eels taking on his full salary.
This would give the Sharks mountains of salary cap space for 2019 but they would also lose in my opinion, the games best winger. I also believe this deal may be stalled for some time given the recent injury to Josh Dugan as Holmes may be required to fill in the fullback role.

Is there a source Baz?
If true Holmes would demand the fullback roll I reckon.
Holmes can stay where he is , he's not going to make up for Semi and wingers we have are good enough to do the job .
I agree Frankie. And we have plenty of depth for fullback, which is supposedly where Holmes wants to play.
I can't see him getting that in front of Gutho. Being captain now makes it even more critical he is in the centre of the field, and we play our best footy when he is there. We are actually looking pretty good for wingers too with French and Gennings. There is also Lelesuio and Triple A. I just can't see us spending big on a player we can't readily accommodate.
Agreed on that. Holmes would ask for too much $$.
Guth seems to be the FB we need; and i know he can slot in at 5/8. Longfin do you see Leleisou as a future winger? I have concern over his height etc.
Rather keep Hayne for 500k then buy Holmes for 800k
I am glad we are not after Johnny
He could provide the height and rigidity we need in the middle...
