Holroyd has everything to be a star, his return from missing most of last year has been pretty great.

Walters always wanted and needed more game time. Getting dropped after good performances wasn't taken well and I can't blame him for looking elsewhere.

He has stuff to work on but like the other two ro but age and desire is clearly on his side

Walters is in the middle of a purple patch at the moment. He's at his best when running second rows lines on the right hand side. As a pure prop he's not nearly as effective. Oledski, who is struggling to regain the very high standards of last year, still does most of the tough stuff especially when it comes to bringing the ball off the line. That's not to say I think getting rid of Walters is a good thing, just don't think he's a true prop at present.

He seems to be a backriwer in the process of transferring to prop.
Time will tell on him, just a shame we couldn't keep him another few years. I think he did enough this year to earn it and continue to develop under RS

I wonder if Holroyd's just really tired, mentally at least. He's played about the same number of games this season as the last five years in total for Leeds.

Same for O'Connor I bet.

Gutted Walters is leaving, so much potential
