For this season agreed, but for next season, two quality backs (Broadbent and Davies) have been signed by our neighbours, another quality back in Johnstone is likely to be going to Wakefield, and Tommy Makinson (albeit not in his 20s, but a top player) on his way to the south of France. There are top quality backs available, we're just not in the running for them

Seems we are buying everyone at Leigh, Derek in as new CEO?

Hull is closer to Bradford... you never know

Every team has a solid and unspectacular players….we can see what the club are doing and Holmes is a upgrade on our current back rowers

Holmes whilst not being a top class signing is a solid signing and will be an improvement on what we have (though that’s not too difficult).

As long as we don’t waste our quota spots like we have for the past few years signings like Holmes will bolster the squad and help bring on the younger players.

I'm personally REALLY pleased with Holmes. A real step up on our 2nd row options.


In a salary cap sport you can't field the Harlem Globe Trotters and need horses for courses.

Just what we need at this phase. Good signing.
