Valentine Holmes hopes to make an impression Saturday when the Jets play their third preseason game, facing the Saints at MetLife Stadium. But not everyone is rooting for the National Rugby League superstar from Australia to succeed in his quest to play in the National Football League.
It should be an inspirational, go-for-your dreams story, given the fact Holmes left a thriving career in Australia playing for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks to chase his NFL dreams. But business is business and Holmes is aware there are fans and club officials Down Under who would rather see him fail and return to the NRL.
