🎉 200 First Grade Games – James Holman 🎉

This weekend, the club celebrates a remarkable milestone as James Holman pulls on the Penguins jersey for his 200th First Grade game for Taroona Rugby Club.

A multiple premiership winner, former Best & Fairest recipient, outstanding clubman, coach, mentor and all-round good bloke, James has been a huge part of the Taroona story for many years.

On the field, he's built a reputation as a tough, uncompromising competitor whose impact is felt every time he crosses the white line. Whether it's carrying hard, defending harder, or leading by example, Jimmy James Holman has never taken a backward step.

Off the field, his contribution has been just as significant. As a coach and role model for our junior players, he's helped shape the next generation of Penguins and embodies everything our club stands for.

And while records may never officially confirm it, there is strong evidence to suggest James is also the proud owner of the oldest and wrankest footy socks worn in Tasmanian Rugby. Despite repeated opportunities for retirement, both the socks and their owner continue to get the job done.

Congratulations, Holman, on reaching 200 First Grade games. Your commitment, loyalty and contribution to Taroona Rugby Club are greatly appreciated, and we're proud to celebrate this milestone with you.
