VALENTINE'S DAY

Write down this name in your little black book as a player to watch –*Valentine Holmes. The *teenaged fullback is carving it up in the lower grades at Cronulla after North Queensland let him slip through their grasp.

Had the Cowboys kept him, he would probably be playing NRL for them now. In an odd twist, Valentine's girlfriend is the sister of current Cowboys custodianMichael Morgan.

"He's the closest thing I've seen to*Ben Barba," said Valentine's agent,*Gavin Orr, who also happens to manage Barba.

"He's got the speed of Ben Barba but he's also got the*Karmichael Hunt*edge to him, too, where he will take on the defensive line on with power."

Holmes was struggling with homesickness and was going to head back north until his brother moved down. Don't be surprised to see him make his NRL debut shortly.

His manager has got him a decent story about him which just drove up his price, I doubt his manager will direct him to extend now, he'll want him to play first grade & show what his got & that's when he'll start the negotiations.

And yet here he is, unable to get a run in the worst back line in the competition...
