The little matter of finally conceding defeat on trying to sign Pryce, maybe?

And about time, would you not agree? It was getting almost as tiresome reading about the second coming of Pryce as it was reading about the toerag Orford's ongoing soap opera.

I'm just happy we've signed a SO who comes highly recommended, is young and British, and we did the deal in the right way with Featherstone. As well as the fact he has some great potential.

Not so sure, as I still think we could have them both (Price & Briggs). Still reckon Price's best position is FB, but we're not exactly short there are we !

Briggs might not be the highest earner, but the live salary cap would prevent us signing a player if we don't have space to pay for him. There's also the fact Briggs was contracted for another year with Fev. It's only because Fev likely resigned themselves to losing him for nothing at the end of the year so possibly spoke to his agent and asked to try and get an SL club to come in and taking him for a fee.

salary cap wise your probably right. but not sure we could afford to pay transfer fees for both.

Knowing that Leon was like before he left about wanting to play Stand Off, I don't think he'd join any club that meant he was playing any other position.

Depending on how his head is, Pryce's future should be at 13.

It's an interesting thought, and there's no doubt he's got the skill. The only caveat I would have is Leon's habit of drifting in and out of games; you can get away with that a little at stand off but at number 13, particularly in defence, I would suggest not.

Been saying this for years.

We probably won't get Pryce this year.

I've heard that we definitely might.

Someone at the club told me you might.

also whilst we dont have an obvious standout candidate for loose forward this year, going forward into 2012 addy,donaldson and maybe bateman will all be potentially vying for the spot (just not sure any of them are quite ready this year). So do we really need to be bringing in a highly paid 30 yr old to play 13.

Same reason as why we don't need to be bringing in a highly paid 30 year old to play SO, when we have just signed an up and coming youngster with great promise to play there. Let's see what this season brings and where / if we need to recruit (depends a lot on OOC current players at end of year also !).

I know I'll be shot down about "The Prodigal Son" not returning, but hey-ho, just mjy thoughts...............

If Briggs is up to the job I hope we leave Pryce where he is. He's not going to want to play anywhere but no6.
