You can guarantee that when we play them at home, we get a fine for wearing our home kit

What's all this about Karl Pryce signing for us? Waste of money I think, did nothing last year, big guy and doesn't do anything special and as slow as a snail, can't see any point?

If someone could get the best out of this lad, and maybe a crowd that got him going, who knows ?

Lad needs to bend his back and show some heart, he must be nearing the last chance saloon for super league.

We have had some write offs in the past come to Cas and turn it around. I would give the lad a chance.

if we need another centre why don't we put in a homegrown one, then he'd have much more heart and enthusiasm

It sounds more and more likely that he will be in a Cas shirt next year. I say give the lad a chance before we start slating him. He is certainly a big unit who scored a fair few tries last season at London. He's another body that will put competition into the centre role with him, Griffin and Thompson pushing for the spot opposite Joe.

Let's face it, he'll be on a lot less wage than Mathers which means if a player in SL or NRL comes free early in the season we'll have the money to go for. At the moment there aren't too many centres out that are avaliable so better to get Pryce in with a full pre-season under his belt than wait to see start of the season when it will take 2 months plus to knock him into shape.

I am ambivolent to Karl P, but like every person who signs for Cas, I will ignore their reputation and history and judge them on what they do for us. As a previous poster says, if he busts his balls for the team and shows bottle, then he deserves respect and cheers from us, everyone makes mistakes, even Gasnier made a few!

Let's face it, there are a few players of dubious virtue that have become legends at Cas - I would even respectfully suggest that Rangi is the most recent with a chequered personal and loyalty history, but he performs for us and rightly is playing at the highest level, so as far as I am concerned, he deserves all our accolades and if he signed for Wigan, Leeds or Satan himself after great service to us, he goes with our best wishes..... We even don't hold it against Danny Orr that he went to the pies!

I am usually not quick to boo, or quick to hail players as a hero, but our job as supporters is to welcome new players, support them and give our team the best chance of success..... Sure as hell booing players off at half time or booing individuals or writing them off as crap before they even officially sign or pull a boot on is only going to make everything worse!

Well Millward really will be a miracle worker if he can turn Karl Pryce into a centre of international quality (or decent club quality for that matter) ,given that the likes of Noble and Mcguire have failed, not to mention his stint at Gloucester R.U was it?.

Still i like what he is doing in regards to training and the professional approach he appears to be installing into the players already

I actually liked Pryce at Wigan, he's pretty good on the Wing actually.

Not going to outpace anyone, but give him the ball 10 yards out and odds are he'll score, and teams don't want to attack down his side just because of his size.

His SL Try Scoring record is phenomenal.

True, but in every other area of the game that doesn't involve being 10 yards out and getting a pass from his centre, he's a pudding.

When we played Quins last season, he was in just the position described above, with only big bad Kevin Penny between him and the line - he literally walked over Penny, stomping all over him in the process, scored the try, then went back and peeled Kev up off the floor and gave him a pat on the back. Twas a comedy moment.

Great post mdean! I doff my cap to you good sir.

Anyhow, I recon he will be a cracking signing. Just have a feeling.

Rumour on the Hull fc board is that Nick Youngquest is on his way to us???

Another overseas signing for you. You trying to compete with KR for the highest number of non-British players in superleague?!

There's a post on the VT from someone saying there's currently about 120 overseas players in SL which is impressive given clubs aren't supposed to have more than 5. If strictly adhered that'd be 70 - so much for the 'non-fed trained' rules brought in to try and reduce the number of overseas players in SL...

Cheers, I am quite simply beside myself with glee that 2 pages of this thread seem to have been about a rumoured signing, openly discussed with view but without petty squabbling, I might print it and frame it!

Long may proper discussion continue!

Could Pryce be signed as a potential forward, lets face it he would be the tallest and heaviest player at Cas.
