As many international rookies as we're allowed I say.

There'll be a few nervous saints players in the locker room.

Read an article on Holmes seems very interesting. And at 203cm if he picked up the game could be a great gamble!

Praccie match in Kentucky?!

Hope I am wrong but I got a bad feeling about him at the time of his signing, seemed to me like a token gesture to be there for our NZ gams.

 

[Flandersss]

So just to clarify does Holmes take up a spot on our rookie list? or does he go on the International rookie list which is totally different?
