Should we go hard for homes ? He is saying on a interview with nrl.com that he is happy to go to any club if they can fit him in he would be a really good signing

I think he will make the practice squad with the Jets. However, they earn around $100k for the year. He could get $750k+ in the NRL.

The question is, will he stay for a 1 year in the practice squad, earn much much less than he can here and no guarantee and unlikely to make it to the Jets main squad?

Also, if he were to come here, it would be FB, otherwise, i wouldnt pay $750+ for a winger. We have DWZ at FB.

With DWZ, he just needs to work on his ball playing in the off season.

Valentine Holmes has vowed to turn his back on a potential $1 million NRL salary to stay in the US to pursue a career in the NFL — even if he misses out on the final playing squad for his team the New York Jets.

Holmes told News Corp Australia he will not return to the NRL in 2020 if he is selected this weekend in the Jets’ second-string 11-man practice squad, which pays about AU$190,000 a year.

And here we go again lol.

Stop fighting it and wishing, it will play out as it does and we won’t be signing him.

You forgot the 5 minutes of bum slapping followed by a 10 minute TV ad break.

What's the bet the sharks find room in their salary cap and he signs with them, the cheating C**TS, and he's a quality player so he won't be playing for us.

Practice squad players get called up to the main roster throughout the season. Plus the Jets suck so hard that by late October they will be desperate for any help.

I fell Holmes will benefit from learning the playbook in a stress free environment and improving their fitness (I noticed that him and Hayne had an extra layer of fat that other players in the NFL don’t have).
