Seen him a lot at Dewsbury, he cant even be d breaking in to a jog when he's carrying on the waters. On the few occasions he's played he's been a total waste.

I, like many others i imagine, get frustrated seeing Caro not using his size and speed to its full potential; often not going in at full impact and never backing himself down the outside... But at least he has pace and his size isnt all fat! Seriously, Pryce is in terrible shape

The thing about Pryce is, many have said just all this about him ever since he first abled onto a field. Yet, here is the number of times he has been picked and played, over many years, by a number of experienced RL coaches, not many fools and vagabonds amongst them. I have never seen it either, but these guys are all professionals, so are we missing something or what is going on here?

Decent try scoring stats. Just imagine how good he would have been if he had some heart. One of the biggest wastes of talent.

He showed loads of promise as a youngester FA, thats whats frustrating about him i think!
When he first broke in to our first team he looked more than useful, your stats show that; really good scoring record.
But he's never exactly being a physical specimin, and his work rate leaves a lot to be desired!

Its a shame as he could have been a really great winger.

Oh and he was responsible for arguably the biggest dropout ive ever seen - years back at Odsal in his first spell, he caught one and its first bounce was on their 30!

No point in having size if you don't know how to use it! He doesn't like being tackled by a winger half his size... Let alone a prop his size!!

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg

I still remember that one, though he did have a following wind from the Rooley Lane end, shame it was an Academy match as I think he should have been encouraged to do more kicking from GLD's

Karl was a typical example of someone who breezed, like a future international, through the ages but then failed in open age where his opponents (A) didn't quake in their boots when they saw the size of him and (B) were prepared to front up to him. Sad really, he has plenty of skill but, after his junior days, has just seemed to not want to get involved.

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8.jpg



Leon was typical of that too when he was with us. Whenever he had those occasional displays of petulance with the opposition he always struck me as someone who had always previously been able to do what they want but suddenly found himself up against people who not only wanted to stop him but were able to.

Karl's a nice lad who was never really that bothered if he made it or not. He's just happy going with the flow. He had the physical tools but not the desire to make them count. That makes a few people fed up because you wonder what he could've done. I don't think he's all that bothered.

With my rugby brain I would have been better than Lockyer. Unfortunately my physical tools have a tendency to default towards the fat lazy bastrd setting so it never happened icon_biggrin.gif

Actually, I think that's spot on.

I often used to wonder just how Leon got all the aggressive and competitive genes in the family and Karl...well, he just didn't.

To be right, when I think about the might have beens, I'm more disappointed for Karl than I am because because my rugby team missed out on a [potential] world beater, but again, I think you're right, Karl isn't really that bothered. I did [sort of] meet him once with a group of others, and he comes over as a decent, well balanced sort of guy, so I guess he's doing alright.

He is a cracking lad. I've known him a long time. I'd love for him to come back even for a couple of seasons and really dig in. He could have been the best back of his generation because of his size and pace and his ability to anticipate space or smash his way through. He is the epitomy of chilled out and I think that's let him down. He isn't afraid of being roughed up, he has had it all his life, through juniors, academy and open age all because of his name. When he wants to play he is unplayable for the opposition

I hope you didn't literally bump into him, he'd doubtless have been limping for the next few days
