| All the talk on here regarding the lack of an organiser in the halves involved various solutions. One solution was we should not have let Pryce go. Having watched him play today has made me realise that it was the correct decision to let him go. His contribution was nil; I never expected to say it but I would have Wellens at S/O rather than Pryce.

Wello over pryce!!!!! Are you mad?
You can't base it on one game, Leon was very good last year. I'd have Leon back in a flash.

| Pryce is 100x the player Hohaia is and would walk into our team. I'd have him back next season to play 6 for us no problem
The Wello comment is just daft. Wello cant pass , cant run and cant organise.

| Leon is a dummy spitter who wouldn't even train at the end. We had three good years out of him be thankful. Wello gave us ten, even though he is a bit of a father Jack now

| Pryce just seemed the usual Leon, a day when he did not look that interested, over the years we have seen many days like that as Well as some when he uses his natural Talent! Hull clearly showed what Youth they are developing!

Agreed! It was just typical Pryce IMO.
Anyone saying they'd have Wellens over him are nuts.

| Leons legs are shot.
In his final season at Saints you could see he had lost a yard of pace and no longer could go the distance.
Now he doesn't even have the pace to go through a gap.
Still offers some threat due to his size but looks like a player in his final playing days.
For me we let him go at the right time.
What we failed to do was bring in the correct replacement.

I would suggest that is wisdom with hindsight. When Lomaskell first came on to the scene during the Eastmond/Pryce dying days they created a lot of excitement because lots of people (and no, not just me) thought they had potential and let's face it, there would have been nothing better than to see two homegrown local talents becoming our halfback partnership would there? As it is things haven't worked out for those two as a halfback pairing for whatever reason and so now we are stuck.

Without a doubt we let him go a right time due to his age and injuries catching up with him but anyone who'd play wello at 6 before Leon is mental

| Pryce had plenty of moments of magic last year and was invaluable for the Dragons, now I wouldn't even pick him in the 17.

| You are talking Pryce in his pomp in a good team. When the team started to fail he failed with it. Whilst he is a better stand off than Wello or Wilkin he really was not in it for the club. Those two have been. He could have behaved better in his last two years.

There were plenty of games when we where behind or struggling and Pryce pulled us out of the . Do you remeber the game we won at Wigan with a scratch team, when Pryce kicked a 40-20 and then scored himself from the scrum base? Leon could do things that most players could only dream of.

Indeed. He scored game-breaking tries in three separate major finals between 2005 and 2008. And people accused him of not turning up in big games.
