The Club should only grant him a release to pursue NFL during 2019.

That should be the condition.

Under no circumstances is he allowed to play for Nth Queensland in 2019.

If you don’t like that Mr. Orr you can go suck a dick.
There’s nothing in that for us, we will be without a star fullback still.

Flanno f**ked up by giving Barba no thought. He probably would have signed for peanuts too.
Nah.

Ive believed all along flanno had our arse covered here.

I reckon he told ben we want him 2020 so sign for 1 year.

If Holmes stayed worry about it then.
If Holmes signed with cowboys he would do the swap in 2019 and get a better player anyway.

Holmes is having a laff.

Seriously more chance of playing for the socceroos

I have zero inside goss on the NQ salary cap situation but after signing Mcguire officially today and applying some logic, I highly f**king doubt we can/could afford him for 2019.

Putting on my conspiracy foil hat, anyone thought that maybe this long term deal for Mcguire coming out today might have been a precursor to this unofficial Val -> NFL news? ie We’ve signed McGuire long term because Val has signalled to us he’s headed off to america?

apologies on spamming up your shark forum but the NQ sub forum in here is quieter than the Castle Hill Tav on a Tuesday night.

I caught a bit of the Americans footy this morning.
I wanted a fishing show got that Seppo shite instead.
They were showing highlights from different games...

Then one Commentator said there is no highlights from the first half of some game because nothing happened.

Sounds awesome.

True.

But we now have serious coin freed up.

I’d be giving the kid from Souths a call.

He wants to play fullback.

Well a position just became vacant and he’ll cost way less than Holmes.
Johnston is half the player Holmes is.

We are now forced to pickup whoever we can get and just “make it work”.

It’s pretty damn average of Holmes to leave the club in this position.

I watch just as much NFL as NRL these days.

There’s no chance he makes it in any position in the NFL.

Does he have any idea of the contact in the NFL?

He’lll be taken off in a body bag with his first run.

Johnston has great potential and real speed.

He’s definitely worth a crack.

Barba coming in 2020 seems to be a big IF especially if he has a blinder in 2019.
We missed out. Half of it is his fault though I guess.

But his girl wants to live there.

Once he tells them what a big deal he is they have to play him.

Shit he could almost get off the wing for SOO if there was no slater inglis boyd or ponga.

Kennedy, has to be given a chance
Munster has not put pen to paper in melbourne chase him hard now

I can imagine Holmes in the NFL, he like Hayne will want a so called glamour team, or name team, i cant imagine Holmes at Detroit or Cleveland

Anyway the Club need to snag a “name” because losing Holmes is a marketing disaster just like it was losing Barba.

I’m sure the Club don’t need to be told that.

This is just my opinion the fact that has already won himself a premiership won an origin for Qld played for Australia I feel he is in need of a new challenge...
