He’s the player that recently fractured his cheekbone, cleaning his teeth...........whilst using an electric toothbrush at the time.

Happened during the period of recovery from a compound fracture to the forearm from ripping a tissue out of the tissue box too quickly.

Just plain unlucky I guess. Poor guy.

Humbug, electric toothbrushes are nothing. I got one on ebay from my friend in China, delivered to me door for $9.45. Anyone can handle one of them things, even an outside back.

Whatever a first grade rugby league player manages to get for his services is between him and the club
Holmes ain’t anywhere near as bad as you pretend to say he is..I know what you do

He ain’t anywhere near as good as his hype either
no, it's not. A badly managed salary cap is, is something the fans are part of. How would you feel being a Dogs fan right now, knowing its probably 4 years befoe you can compete.? Simply because, marketing, coaching & accounting staff got it wrong? As a fan, I know I look at a guy who is earning minimum & playing his guts out ie Clark Souths, & then see somebody sitting on a wing at 8 times the price , dropping bombs, & it does my far king head in.

Badly managed cap?

We just bought Woods for a song and you think our cap is poorly managed. Lol.
Holmes might be on overs debatable but we make up for it in other areas, such as Fifita and Chads deals to name two. There's a good article with Flanno talking about our junior development systems vs cap management etc. In it it states that Holmes is the kids fav player (used to be Gal) All these kids and their parents invest in the club because of players like Val. So on that basis alone, he's worth more than players like Feki, Lee, Bakuya etc.

Sharks cap management is the best its ever been.

Slater, touted as the best fullback ever, also dropped a bomb last night

It is quite regular to those of us who watch other games

He might have dropped one, but does he drop them as regularly as Val does?

What other fullbacks have you noticed who drop them as regularly as Val?

So stop now, be happy with it, & don't make it even better?

In any organisation there are people over, people under and people paid just right. The sharks are no different and this will forever be the case.

You can cherry pick individual cases as much as you like, but the organisation of the sharks has done a fantastic job the last few years with cap management and is about as far away from the dogs as you can get.

No never try.

Of course try and do better. The sharks would know who to is giving good value or not and I’m sure will be aiming to learn from this. The one thing they can’t do is go back and change the past.

20% of Holmes $ is probably because he brings so much revenue through the gate...he’s easily the younger generation’s favourite player.

Sells tickets, sells merchandise, sells on social media.

Imagine our attack without him!
