Can anyone see where an improvement is going to come from

No issue with that after half a dozen games, just that he'll have a decent contract to pay-off or a transfer fee, so not sure it's realistic that he'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

He must be livid with Holmes then

Cas game, I think he got subbed and didn't come back on

Unless we're including running sideways, backwards and in circles then Matautia must be on the naughty step as well.

Doesn't have to be a transfer fee (though it would make financial sense to try and get one). He could be used in a swap deal, or sold cheaply to make space on the salary cap, or just to get rid.

If he agreed to any move then he wouldn't need paying off either.
