He seemed to spend quite a bit of time running across the face of the defence in the game I saw, looking to find a gap. With his size I was expecting to see rather more of a 'in your face ' approach. Still, the coaches will have spent a lot of time with him when it comes to the start of the '25 season, so we will see.

Thanks for this. I'll put you on the spot. Which of our young props do you think is most likely to step up?

6’4 and 17st I’d like to hope there are some opportunities for him this season. Still very young and possible for him to be a big player for us.

That means almost nothing if they don't have drive and aggression. See Bullock, Sangare, Dudson, Karl Pryce, Kibula

Only aggression I saw from Dudson was punching a centre before he joined us. Kibula was a big girls blouse.

Comments above re drive and aggression are spot on. Holroyd is a great example of this, more so in defence than attack though. We need at least 2 of our young props to play consistently aggressively and well enough to raise the performances of Musgrove etc.

If Holroyd improves (and only by a bit) he is going to be undroppable.

He shown the club that he is 100% committed by tuning down a great opportunity i think he will be rewarded for this and he will only improve with more first team opportunities.
