Sorry, won't say. A few on here know who I am and know my info is spot on. It's a half back. As I said, could cause a stir and divided opinions if this comes off.

| I always rated Holdsworth very highly and expected him to make a real impact with you. I really think he could still be a top player for you but I just don’t see the structure and platform for him as it stands. He’s not a lead the team around kind of player but he is, behind a solid pack, the kind of player who can fit a structure extremely well and add that bit of quality when its needed.
If he does go I do think he’ll be seen as the one who got away, he just needs a settled structure and be allowed to develop a partnership with someone.
Trouble I think you’ll have is if you do go for a half in the mould of a Michael Dobson, Danny Brough then you’ll find he’d fit far better with Holdsworth rather than Miller who will be looking to develop into a MD/DB type half.
Could be a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater if AP’s subtext is being interpreted correctly

| I think people underestimate the effect that Meli's reckless late challenge had on Holdsworth for the remainder of the season after he eventually got back. True he showed what he was capable of on occasion after that - notably the semi final where had he not been playing we wouldn't have won.
He seems to me to be a bit of a confidence player anyway and that serious head injury that he sustained hurt him at least as much mentally as it did physically. He played a long way in front of the line after that and seemed to me to be (subconsciously at least) protecting himself a bit. There's no doubt he has talent, in particular a top class kicking game which was the best we've seen for years, but maybe he's not (or is no longer) dynamic enough for what we want/need.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

I think not being tackled once in the last two home games confirms this. Didn't see the Huddersfield game, but I guess that game might have been the same.

| I think Holdsworths a good player and hopefully he is more consistent if he stays. One thing worries me though and that's his goalkicking. We have been spoil with Danny Tickle. Perhaps one reason for looking to change is to upgrade our goal kicking. I think DJ, Crooks and Westie are all about par. I suppose Miller's the only potential upgrade but who knows if he is any good.

| we've brought someone in to play in the halves every year since 2007
Holdsworth has the potential to be a match winner but he, like a lot of the squad, is inconsistent which is whats fustrating. I think it would be very harsh to offload him and would put a lot more pressure on the guy coming in to perform

| I rate DJ and his kicking game at times last season was outstanding. That 40/20 at millenium magic sticks long in the memory. But I think we need someone with that air of unpredictability about him who is able to stick his head through the line and try things. Rangi Chase is no longer an option so I would be happy with Sammut. He really impressed me with some of his off the cuff plays and tries last year. With Bulls financial problems not exactly looking solved I would offer cash plus DJ. Sammut at 6 and a developing Miller at 7 with Horne as back up. I would take that.

The wording is interesting. Seems to indicate that he isn't happy with things for some reason. Hasn't he settled in the area? (Does he even live in the area?) Does he want to be back in Oz? Doesn't he get on with others at the club?

I believe he lives in the Swanland area.
