Re: NEW SIGNING
Why would he leave first team rugby to come back and play 4th or 5th choice for us again.
Next season we should have Trueman back in the halves (hopefully), along with Roberts, Ellis and Gale.
The best hope we have is recruiting a full-back and that's it. Battle through the injuries this season, and get everyone fit and ready for the Super 8s and come under the radar.

Re: NEW SIGNING
Fev certainly played with far more attacking flair than we have shown all season and Holmes played a huge part in that , Cas could be tempted to bring him back ( only signed for a season at Fev I believe) and I wouldn't imagine Tom as been overjoyed with being moved to full back of late to accomadate inferior duel reg Leeds players.
Will never understand why we let him go in the first place to bring in the likes of Aston and Ellis.

Re: NEW SIGNING
Well he was going to be behind gale and roberts for another year so wanted first team rugby so this was the best move for him all decided before october.fords wrote:alftupper wrote:It does make you wonder how Tom Holmes ended up at Fev and we added Cory Aston to our payrolltigerfeat wrote:Tom was showing what was to come last year then in the winter daftness he goes replaced by players he will be better than

Since then we lost zak had ideas of switching benny to full back while powell brought a player Ellis who he knew alot about.
Also we lost Calum to union and it was seen a good idea to sure this loss up with aston not sure this was needed but long and short of it all is if Zak didnt get sacked banned ect this would have been a great move for Tom and still is. I am sure there are plenty of clubs looking at how he has gone on so far this year but his chances under powell last year were limited even when he came in and had strong games he would be dropped as soon as some one was back fit.

Re: NEW SIGNING
Holmes wanted first team rugby, he was clearly ready for it, his performance against Leeds at Magic Weekend last year was evident he was ready. Sure a few SL teams showed interest but ended up going to Fev has he wanted to stay local.

Re: NEW SIGNING

Re: NEW SIGNING
I thought Tom left of his own accord because he needed part time so he could concentrate on his business activities

Re: NEW SIGNING
Estate agent I believe. Makes plenty of money and a 50 year career if all goes well. Surprised more players don't do it.

Re: NEW SIGNING
My guess would be that Tom left due to his desire to be playing first team rugby every week, and we just couldn't offer him that. I'd also guess that the reason for a 1 year contract only at Fev would have been with a view to him returning back to Cas when he'd proved himself weekly in the Championship and experienced guiding a team around the field constantly for 80 mins each week. He seems to be doing just that, and I think we'll see him back at the end of this year, but I'd be leaving him where he is for now and let him get a full seasons experience under his belt as a starting half.chesterfieldtiger wrote:I thought Tom left of his own accord because he needed part time so he could concentrate on his business activities

Re: NEW SIGNING
Problem is he isn't getting in Fev team as a hlf due to Jordan Lilley needing game time on duel reg from Leeds. Last few weeks since Lilley came back from injury Tom as found himself having to slot in to the full back role.derbystiger wrote:My guess would be that Tom left due to his desire to be playing first team rugby every week, and we just couldn't offer him that.

True.
Catalans have announced Tomkins straight after Wigan announced his leavening.
Saying that maybe all the paper work isn’t complete.
Sooner we’ve done our business and announced signings fans will be content and the club can get on with the season without speculation.
