Good move by Catalans and it is the 3 year deal is probably what put us out of the running. Pryce is 30 this October and if they have offered him decent money on top of 3 more years we'd always struggle, especially after the last year of significant injuries and us not liking long deals.

Be surprised if the add Carney to their line up though - with Greenshields at FB could they fit them all in?

this was always going to happen saints were never going to give leon the wages he wanted

Wish really wish we'd have kept Leon, but Catalans are gonna have one hell of a team if Carney goes there too. Potentially Greenshields, Pryce, Bosc, Dureau and Carney in the same side.

Some doubted the decision to let Longy go but looking at that now, with hindsight, that was a good decision, hope this proves to be the same.
Good luck Leon but not Vs the saints

Why ever not? Give him his own wages plus Gary Wheeler's?

Was it just the wages? not also a three year contract. There is no doubt that Catalan is a success story just under 10,000 at the weekend, they seem to have ambition.

He'll hate their beaches, nothing like Blackpool...

Longy was older and we allegedly had a long term replacement, we also had in Leon an established halfback who was staying put.

That can never be said about any player.

And besides, we have got two thirds of a season out of him since Longy left. Wow.

Exactly as I said last month.

somethings you can plan for and some things you cant. We had Pryce under contract so in theory disruption would be at a minimum. The Longy situation is nothing like this debacle
