Don't think I can agree there. They are different players and both are quality in their own right, Bosc though would add the ability to kick goals, I've not checked the stats but I'd think he's good bit more reliable than Sykesy. Which of the two (Bosc and Pryce) would be most effective in our side would depend to some extent on who is scrum half. Ideally, I wouldn't want to choose stand off until that's sorted, though it is getting a bit late now for hanging round.

we can (and do,cos' it's part of the fun) make comparisons with the modern day players and those of yesteryear - ie we can compare Greaves to Lineker or Botham to Flintoff etc etc but what actually counts is what's happening at this moment
If fit TB would be a great acquisition to any SL team,but he's not fully fit and hasn't been all season,even when he's played - As I have already said,he DOES have constant ankle trouble which prevents him kicking in games which has been one of his great attributes.He's one of the gentlemen of the game but I fear we have seen the best of him even at his tender age of 27 - I would love to be proved wrong...

I'd take Pryce over Bosc anyday. The way Pryce played this year was phenominal at times. Although if we signed Pryce for 6 and Bosc for 7, then it would be happy days.

just a thought but could his ankle problems be being aggravated by playing in the south of france every other week?. Generally better weather and earlier than we get it over here meaning they have a harder pitch for more off the year. maybe playing on generally softer pitches we have for longer part of season would be beneficial?.

All swings and roundabouts really as last info I got was that we havent talked to catalans or bosc.

Playing on softer ground is worse than playing on hard ground.

wouldnt there be more impact damage on harder ground? that was my thinking anyway.

No you can get special insoles for that. The soft ground means that the ankle twist far easier.

But soft ground is also softer to land on. As a decrepit 30something I much prefer the mud to a baked hard ground.

Whippersnapper

Rubbish. You are never a 30something.

You're just jealous.

you lot ARE whippersnappers !!! i'm 56 1/2 and proud of it ! just think of all the great players i've had the privelege of watching since Eddie Waring made the game famous !
regarding TB on soft/hard ground - I don't know if it's too late to worry about that sort of thing cos' the damage has already been done...his ankles are in a relatively bad way so injections are the only alternative to keep him going

Pryce and Bosc will score plenty for us next season.

be careful of what you wish for..............

I'm happy with Pryce and Bosc and now that Diskin is on board, those marquee signings are coming.

Still another one or two to come
