Cronulla Sharks skipper Paul Gallen says teammate Valentine Holmes (pictured) deserves to hold his spot on the Kangaroos wing after his outstanding International debut on Saturday night.

Penrith flyer Josh Mansour is a part of the Kangaroos Four Nations squad and played on the wing for Australia earlier this year but might struggle to get a look in after Holmes faultless display.

Gallen has played alongside Mansour for New South Wales and Australia, but says after Holmes eye catching match against the Kiwis, he deserves to keep his spot in the Kangaroos side.
