Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3077458, member: 1899"] I'm not sure how serious the conversations are between Brisbane and Valentine Holmes, but at the very least there should be an expression of interest. There aren't a lot of players with his level of skill. Looking at the stats, what pleases me the most is that with every stint he kept getting better. The two stats that interest me the most with fullbacks is passes and receipts. It's one thing to return the ball and crack 150m+ it's another to make a genuine impact on the game. As the stats showed, he doubled his passes in his second full year and if anything his other stats flourished. He didn't bend the line as much or make as many kick returns, but he more than doubled his line-breaks, more than doubled his tries and was kicking more readily. What was also impressive is that he cracked the 300m+ game twice. In Round 10 2018 against Canberra and again in the first week of the finals against Sydney. Like Hayne, I doubt he'd be able to make the transition to fullback right away but in 2021 those are the numbers you'd come to expect. [/QUOTE]
