Looking at the whole body of work you'd have to say Pryce over Eastmond. But judging from recent performances it's not so clear cut.

Pryce has suffered from the same malaise that is infecting the rest of the team and his attacking edge has been blunted. But Eastmond, perhaps because he sees the chance to impress and beef up his leverage in contract talks, seem just as sharp as ever.

So of the two right now; Eastmond for me.

To be fair to our halfbacks it's pretty hard to create anything when our pack comes off 2nd best most weeks.

If any team kicks deep we struggle to get out of our half.

If I'm being honest it's the worst pack saints have had since super league started and will be worse off next year when gilmour goes.

Pryce is one of the most dangerous players in the league 10 to 15 meters out, 2 or 3 passes wide of the ruck!! When saints have plenty of ball in the oposition 20 pryce can be a match winner!! If saints arnt bullying teams pryce is ineffective and goes missing big time!! pryce for mine looks lost without an experienced 7

That's why I would play longy and eastmond at halfbacks and pryce at loose or even centre.

I have my doubts over if pryce and eastmond at halfback will work next year.

I have my doubts too. I think they are too similar.

When pryce and Kyle have been our halfbacks this year we have lacked direction and a good kicking game.

That could be down to Kyle being young kid just breaking in to team, our pack not being good enough or it just don't work.

It might all change next year when Kyle has full pre-season with 1st team.

Only time will tell.
