Quote ="Or thane"I don't get why people seem to think Oliver Holmes isn't a good player, fair enough i'd say currie has better ball handling skills but Holmes is better in attack and defense and is more aggressive, AND he has ball handling skills aswell. He's a great second rower and will be a bonus to us if we do sign him, at 13 he's be immense and at second row, i'd take him over hughes every single day of the week. I hope Hughes goes soon, he defends well and that is literally it.'"
Holmes is a good player,.made better by great coaching but he isn't a patch on Currie particularly in attack. Currie is one.of the most gifted forwards we've had at the club for decades, but maybe he doesn't look quite as effective when our "playmakers" keep putting him into brick walls.
However, I do agree re Hughes - I'd love to see Holmes instead.
