Quote: St pete "I can't knock lomax or Gaskell but Leon is a different class, he is the organiser that we need and IMO the reason we can't best hudds, wigan and warrington. Players like pryce are the difference in the tight games.'"
The difference Pryce made last night was in his presence. The whole team clicked and calmed down when he came on. Simmons timed his entrance to perfection as we were just starting to crumble: missing tackles, letting them run too much, etc. We needed a steady hand, a thinker and one who had experience. We were a different team in those last 20 minutes. What a difference an experienced halfback makes.
Whether we would have not dropped ball with him on the pitch is another matter though, and it was our dropping ball which lost us the Warrington match. Hudds - we just had too many noobs on the pitch and Wigan pulverised us in the forwards.
Man are our forwards weak. When did James Graham last push in the tackle? He goes down immediately he is tackled. And he always runs sideways. We desperately need aggressive forwards. Bring back Ade! He might not be a forward but he sure gives us all the advantages of one when he's on the pitch!
