So you'd not play Lomax to have kept Pryce?

Pryce is looking better because he's not organising the team, his kicking game is still as average as it ever was.

Quite.

He still picks and chooses when he plays. He was all fired up on Friday because he was playing against his former team. But I've watched other Dragons games as he has hardly featured.

I don't regret letting Pryce go. In fact, for the last 18 months of his time here it was as if he was gone anyway.

No, I'd simply have kept Pryce and left Hohaia in the NRL. Lomax/Pryce wouldn't have made for the best partnership ever, but they'dve been a sight more effective than Lomax/Hohaia have been. It's not as though our kicking game would be any worse than it is now, is it?

I'd have been greedy

1.Hohaia
6.Gaskell
7.Lomax
9.Roby
13.Pryce

I'm still a bit more of a traditionalist I like a ball playing 13 , to make it fit I would have been happy to offload Wello and Wilkin (i'm sure there would have been plenty takers).

Add to the above Makinson,Shenton,Jones and Meli and that would be a potent back line

But neither would it be any better.

sorry mate that's incorrect - i've watched all the Cats home games when he's played and I can't recall a bad game - some games he has been superb and really fired up - the kicking game has been so-so but his all round contribution has been immense in the games i've watched live - fridays performance wasn't that unusual for him at the GB this season

saying that, I think it was time for him to move on personally to another challenge and all that - a masterstroke by Robinson in the same way he has kept Sir Steve going for an extra two seasons

I think it was best for both parties that he moved on to be honest, he'd become stale at saints and needed a new challenge.

Saints basically paid him to sit on his bum for the last two years of his contract at saints.

I know Leon pretty well, he was 80% going anyway as the deal Catalan offered him was massive and it was 3 years!

yeah, I think that sums it up pretty well - Leon really enjoys life in Perpignan it seems and playing well is a great filip to his team mates - there's a great atmosphere about the place even when the team loses the spirit is there and a lot of that has to go down to Robinson

anyway, St Pete - did you sort out accommodation etc in the end ? how was the trip ?

No i didn't go, it was to much messing about and some of the lads dropped out etc

Apparently there were nearly 1000 Saints fans there, which is a pretty good turnout IMO.

Wish I could have been one of them.
