Quote ="KaeruJim"Where do you get that from?
At the risk of repeating myself (!), when Holroyd came through he was arguably the best academy prop in the country. He has size, bit of pace over short distances, and is aggressive.
Has been daft as a brush at times, sometimes clumsy, and often injured. But he's also still young for a prop.
On here we keep banging on about getting the academy right, I don't think letting Holroyd go would be a step forward given the scarcity of front row talent. When he's been good, he's been very good. He does of course need to get and stay fit however. As a bench prop he still has lots to offer over and above most of our other options, but I do think we need to sign a new starting prop to partner Mik.'"
Fully agreed Jim. I think the problem with Holroyd and to a degree Mik, is that we've asked them to carry the back at such a young age. We desperately need an experienced head in there to steady the ship and take the pressure off those guys. With the quota situation, we have the opportunity to bring in two front rowers. One needs to be a proved NRL starter, and maybe the second can be a NSW cup up and coming prospect.
