THROW SOME BIG $$$ AT VALENTINE HOLMES

It appears to me that we need three key positions sorted for our 2017 squad.  Those 3 positions being Fullback, Half/five eight and a Prop. Technically, we could also do with a quality centre and perhaps hooker.

But for now, I would be making a big play for Valentine Holmes.  He is not off contract until the end of 2017 but I would make him a priority signing.  With Barba playing well at fullback, I don't know how much the Sharks could really offer him as a winger.

In my opinion, he would make an outstanding fullback and his best years are still ahead of him.

Thoughts?

  • Make Semi fullback.
  • He's naturally brilliant and reminds me of a young Hayne.
  • You would think gutherson or french will get first crack at fullback.

    I highly doubt we are signing a prop.

    Halfback is what we need, especially considering we dont even have one.
    • we need a prop to replace Paulo

      we need a half back to replace Foran

      we need a hooker to replace Peats

  • Agreed But not sure what that would mean to losing Fenchie!

  • Paul is entirely correct. I believe we should be signing Vave as a replacement for Jnr. Trusting in BA to deliver on the half and hooker.

  • No need for valentine. We need a half and a big young prop.
  • We don't need a centre with taka and Jennings. We don't need fb, we have French and Gutho their.

    If we sign vave that's another prop and yes we def need a hooker and halfback
  • French or Gutho could go into that fullback spot
  • We are. And while Radradra is still here we don't need another big money winger either.
