I hope that Holmes would be in his preferred position in 2nd row. I want to see specialist props playing prop..... really big lads with plenty of 'go forward'...not fellas who are too lightweight to be playing in the front row.
I would imagine that Jason Clark will be retiring at the end of this season which leaves us a backrower down. I could see either Holmes or Hughes playing at 13 next season.
Holmes is a mobile second rower, hits the ball at pace and scores tries. No issue here at all.
I don't see what Matautia offers that we don't already have in Mamo. He is a guy who started as a full-back, didn't really work out there and is now a bit of a utility three-quarter. Difference being that Mamo is three years younger and in good form for us already. Don't get it.

I don't think Mamo cuts it in defence, maybe this has something to do with it.
