don't disagree with that per se. however bosc maybe a better option for us at the moment. First he's a kicker which is a problem area for us. Second he's consistent. Pryce on his day is fantastic but its not unknown for him to go missing in matches. If the rest of the team is good enough then its something you can accomodate but I'm not convinced its a luxury we can afford at this point in time.

He didn't go missing in a single match during 2010. I think he really benefited from being in a position to organise and control the game. He has stated that he enjoys that element of his game, so maybe he has simply found his ideal playing role.

glad to hear he's improved that area of his game which was his main flaw imo. You're doing a great job of marketing him btw

No. Pryce is a great player, but Bosc has absolutely everything in attack - control, passing, kicking, speed - the lot.
I might turn into a Georgeson if we sign him.

He marketed himself last season. He was outstanding. A real joy to watch. It was a massive blow to lose him for the rest of the season just before the CC semi.

Clearly you didn't watch Pryce play very often in 2010 then.

Enough to form my own opinion, thanks.
I expect you're one of these half-wits that thinks Cunningham was better than Lowes. May I suggest that was because you didn't see Lowes play enough?

I must be an half wit then cause Cunningham was better than Lowes.
Not being disrespectful to Lowes as he was a great player but not in the same league as KC.

| All things considered I'd pick Pryce if I was given the choice. He'd shift another bucket load of membership cards in my opinion. I'd be very happy to have Bosc at the club though.

Leon is the man to take a team from third to first.
We need a man to take us to third.

Even halfwits can do that.

I don't have an opinion on that. But what I do know from your own post is that you think Bosc has 'control, passing, kicking, speed, the lot' but Pryce does not. However, Pryce had all those things in 2010. Therefore, whether you have an opinion or not is irrelevant because it is misinformed.
However, you do please continue to think that Pryce is not as good as Bosc and leave Pryce to us. Splendid. Like that idea!

| I think we have to concede that BOTH JL & KC were great players in their own right - I couldn't separate them speaking as a Saints fan !
regarding Thomas Bosc,as a regular visitor to Perpignan for the Catalan games Thomas Bosc is an excellent player WHEN FIT - he has dodgy ankles which has made him miss much of the past season (just one of the factors the team finished at the foot of the league) and when he did play (always with injections) some of the games he still wasn't able to do the kicking due to the risk of further damage to his ankles (his words,not mine).Bobby Goulding has publicly warned him of the dangers of injections/playing when not completely fit etc etc
For me it would be too much of a risk to sign such a talented player but who carries a big potential injury problem.The Bulls could be signing a probable 'sick-note' which would lead to another Matt Orford situation.aying that,I feel the new Dragons coach Trent Robinson wouldn't be to saddened if he left the club...

maybe, but we need to take gamble on someone and Pryce falls into exactly the same category of signing with his neck injury. in those terms bosc is less of a risk as he wouldnt command as large a portion of salary cap allowing us to sign cover for any injuries as well.

Thanks for that - very interesting. (By the way, I wasn't trying to bring up a JL/KC argument - we'll all have our opinions on that and they're unlikely to change. I was just trying to make a point to the Saints fan).

| The point being that if he doesn't agree with you he must be a half-wit ?
