The centre position will be effected by and if Barba comes back, the more i keep reading is that if Holmes is not fullback he wont stay after next year.
What i have noticed is Holmes is developing as a fullback faster than i thought he has a passing game now and is only 22, i remember when roosters moved Minichello from wing to fullback it took a while to work but in the end worked out great.
I think we should ensure we resign Holmes by November if it falls through attempt to get Barba, i cant see us with both.
If Xerri is the man, then go recruit Ferguson to play outside of him, that should help him develop faster, but dont be offering Fergo the world
