I don't think I remember seeing a better prop coming through the academy at his age. Ward and Bailey, even L Burgess looked good but Holroyd is certainly more damaging going forward.
When Furner was in the side that finally broke our long wait for a trophy, there were 10 academy products in the 17, including some outstanding talents, and the overseas/other signings were of real high quality. It's not necessarily a guarantee of success if we get back to this kind of ratio again, but it's what we built the Golden Era on and I think this side would paste the 2019 version I have to say. Front row of Oledzski, Johnson, Holroyd would whet the appetite in a couple of years.

To get hall from wakey Wigan would have had to pay around 10k, £100 for every week in their scholarship, assume same applies for academy so Leeds pay 5k after his year at Wigan

He was wakey stand out player at scholarship, haven’t seen him since so can’t comment, I’d assume he’s been going ok for Leeds to want him considering the players you already have in his position
