Rarely does a champion player have two bad games in a row - so it was fairly predictable that Val Holmes would shine against the Raiders on Saturday night. The Cowboys star had a busy week, producing a shocker against the Broncos seven days earlier before signing a three-year deal with the Dragons. With the pressure of his future off his shoulders and with a point to prove, Holmes cut loose in the 42-4 thrashing of the Raiders. Holmes scored a hat trick, made numerous line breaks and booted seven goals from seven attempts for a personal tally of 26 points. The Cowboys look destined to finish in the bottom half of the top eight - but with the strike power of Holmes out wide, could go deep into September.
