You heard something about Pryce that we haven't?

He hasn't played in the halves for years so i'm not sure why Royce would want to play him there next year.

Because we are short on halves.

I'm sure I just read that he played at halfback only recently, this season, and had a stormer? Fullbacks and halfbacks often play similar roles so if he comes over early enough to get a full off season with us then he should be able to adapt and offer something to us that we don't have at present.

I think Pryce will leave, Hohaia and Lomax doesnt sound too bad!

Also he's really fast, not something we're particularly used to in these parts, but by next year we could have the fastest halfbacks in the league!

It's a shame Hohaia has said he's just coming for the "financial security". Usually players say "I wanted a new challenge" or "I always wanted to play in England" but he's just said it was an offer he couldn't refuse!

Hope his heart is in it, we don't like it when players show a lack of passion

Halfbacks quicker than our wingers

Can we not send Eastmond out on loan for the season and gring Super Lance in now?

Expect to see Lance sooner. Eastmond will be gone by August as the Union pre season starts. If Lance is not being used by the Warriors then I'd expect a early move.

Waste of time signing him if we're going to play him at half back because he isn't a half back. He's a runner and should play at full back. He's not Billy Slater but we need somebody with pace for full back next year so he's an improvement offensively for us. Suspect under the high ball but I'll take that in the modern game.

It's his preferred position and he's been signed to play there. We need him there, not at fullback. Wello is doing just fine at fullback and will be just fine next year too. After that, who knows? Wello will be out of contract and 32. Maybe Hohaia will step in at that point. But in the meantime, he's going to be in our halves next season and hopefully giving the benefit of his experience to our young guns.

I think the Eclipse is in a far better position than yourself to comment on how often Hohai has played at halfback.

He's a utility player I have always liked, but preferred him as fullback.

Hohaia reminds me so much of Brett Hodgson. Anybody who's seen anything of either NZ or the Warriors will see that Lance acts as another half back. He links into the line from full back.

I have worries over him playing 7 but he'll be a terrific 6 IMO.

People knocking this signing come across as proper ding bats! We rave about the likes of Pryce, Sinfield etc... Who constantly look terrible at international level then we moan when we sign somebody who looks fantastic against the Aussies on a regular basis.

useful signing in my opinion and I rate him in the halves as well when he has chimed into that position, which he does fairly often after starting at 1.

What he will bring is bags of explosion round the rucks I would not call him fast, but he certainly has fantastic acceleration that can bust the line.

In my opinion in the halves he will offer what Kyle potentially could have in a few years time.

i do not think you will have to shuffle the deck too much to accommodate him with his playing style.

Not a bad signing never seen him play 6 so be intresting
