Valentine Holmes NFL career

[Rabbit toes]

Making the name Holmes a household name again in the US

 

[VirgilTracy]

I hope he fails spectacularly and comes back to the NRL. As with Hayne, there is zero upside for the NRL from star players making it in other sports and massive downside in terms of causing other players to leave. Not to mention leaving his club in the lurch at short notice.

I'm still waiting for the nonsensical upside promised from Hayne's NFL journey (TV, extra fans, magic beans, whatever).

 

[Haffa]

Poor mans Jordan Mailata.

 

[kdalymc]

whats this mean then

"As part of the International Player Pathway Program, Holmes will join the Jets’ practice squad via an international player exemption, and won’t be eligible to play during the regular season."

 

[T-Boon]

what about watson?

That reminds me that I have to see that Will Ferrell movie. Whens that out on DVD?

 

[T-Boon]

To me Valentine Holmes was always a poor mans Karmichael Hunt. Remember that guy?

"As part of the International Player Pathway Program, Holmes will join the Jets’ practice squad via an international player exemption, and won’t be eligible to play during the regular season."

If he does not make the initial 53 man roster, that is his fate.

Not there yet, will know August/September.

They stay on a practice squad. They are NEVER called in to play. I wish all the media outlets would emphasize this point instead of carrying on as if he is going to be an actual starter.

 

[Last Week]

He is exempt from taking up a spot if he's on the practice squad. If he's called up to the 53 man squad, he will count and won't be exempt.

Poor mans Jordan Mailata.

VERY poor.

League players have been pinched from TGG by the lesser codes for ages. We always produce more.

Who the actual f**k is Valentine Holmes?

 

[Hutty1986]

Who will fall over the line for qld now, or take intercepts?

Edrick is the only viable replacement.

 

[Pedge1971]

Who will fall over the line for qld now, or take intercepts?

Dawius says hi. Ad long as his contract stipulates no contact he is ready to go.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

If Valentine Holmes makes the 53 man squad, and actually plays, I will be watching him and barracking for the NY Jets.

The main thing Val should avoid is raping any women, or even biting their beavers, while in the USA.

Advice from personal experience Albert?

Asking for my friend J....

 

[Canard]

He will bring the Hispanic fans back to the NFL with a name like "Holmes"

Imagine the impact Herman Ese'ese would have on that demographic then......

But the NFL commentators mentioned Australia and rugby a few times, causing a hundred rugby league clubs to spring up in san franshitsco overnight and thousands of Americans came to Australia to support the eels.

Yep, when the USA win the league world cup in the near future it can all be drawn back to the very moment hayne ben hunted a punt live on american television
