Walters will be playing back row so it's not really a comparison.

Different positions this year, and even when Walters played prop last year, he and Holroyd are very different types of player.

Holroyd needs a couple more years on him. He is a big aggressive lad who needs a bit of maturity to fulfil his potential - and more robustness to injury.

I’ve been critical of Bentley but I do hope he shows us more of his promise this season. He does have some quality but we’ll see if he can cement a starting spot.

This is the point about our prop roster Jim.
We don't have that luxury with Holroyd.
He's now one of our senior props, so we need him fit and playing every week.

we seem overstocked in yhe back row and light at prop.
similar to under agar who just preferred 'middles'.
