Personally I am happy for the club to take it's time with signings and even the head coach appointment. If we rush these, history tells us that we tend to make mistakes.

I have no problem with us getting short term players in. We need bodies to protect the younger players and we need some experience. The loans accomplish that as does bringing Briscoe back. Yes, it's a longer deal than maybe the club wanted but he's bringing a lot to the table off the field for me as well as what he can bring on the field. The ideal signing? Probably not. But maybe a smart one.

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.

I have been impressed with Holmes at Leigh after a poor spell at Warrington. He looks leaner and quicker, and an improvement on our back row. If we can't sign Kikau, then Holmes is the next best thing
