Thinking same for Tapine, could be better off going lane or even bateman. Save the cash.
Nikora going as well as he did was a bit of a surprise to everyone, but I think Capewell surprised nobody last night.
Running with Capewell and Nikora was slated to get you ~40 points apiece in the tricky centre position until Graham's return.
My thoughts were that as nice as it is to have two solid players getting 35-45 points reliably, I would instead run just one alongside a more 'boom or bust player' who goes 25-70 because he is not just a meat and potatoes tackler. Holland is definitely the guy to deliver that.
I in fact ended up running without Capewell at all, because having two players grinding out 40 points just doesnt seem like enough when I can be greedy and have one rock to stabilize the score and one to swing the odd huge score now and then. Ideally you would have all three, but my team just would not allow it.
tl;dr I think Holland will find ~45 average at centre and be right up there at seasons end; or at least edge out Capewell's "certain 40s" overall.
