which would you rather be at work with? somone who has ability but rarely uses it or somone with less ability but always willing to put a competent and hard working effort in? know which I prefer.

Ainscough was slated before pulling on a shirt for being too small and not being any good under the high ball, think he dropped two bombs all year (doubt there was a winger in super league who did not drop one.), he has pace, footwork, and great upper body strength something that is often underated. give him ball and he will also score same as Karl but would Karl have scored for fun outside nero (when he starved reardon) our biggest problem in attack last year was getting real quality ball out to our wingers -ainy still got 7 tries in 11. looking at stats karl only made one try assist playing most of the season at centre and 4 offloads for a big physical guy of his presence is alarming to me.

It is easy to say big wingers are better than small ones but how many of us would have taken jason robinson above jon scales? charnley,dallas, carney, donald, albert, sullivan, blacklock,foster, bai were not the biggest wingers but managed we have an obcession because we were very fortunate to have some great big wingers but why do we (some fans) keep searching for next big les or tv?

People said that when he went to Quins. He was garbage.

really dont see why some people are so keen to see pryce at . we've got lulia,purtell and walker who IMO are ahead of him in pecking order for and then possibly crookes, sammut and whitehead who could come into reckoning. Logical playce for pryce for me is competition on the wing. Offers us something a little different to ainscough depending on opposition. After kear and ainscough we're looking at potentially moving purtell from or bringing crookes in. That seems weaker area of squad to me and also a better match to karls skill set.

Slightly of at a tangent, but if people are suggesting the club are trying to find the money to bring Karl in, where does that leave Phil Joseph, who was officially on trial?

What about Karl though? Brilliant junior and a proven try scorer as a senior but has never cemented a spot in SL, largely due to his defence, it must be said. He's got such ability but has been soooo laid back it's untrue. I still harbour hopes that he'll break the shackles to become the player he promised to be all those years ago. Unless there is a big change in his approach to the game I can't see him being first choice though, but it really is down to him, [iIF[/i he puts a marker down and [ireally[/i puts in the effort and forgets all the inhibitions which have held him back he's [istill[/i young enough to carve a new life out of all the disappointment of recent years.

So. He can, but, will he? Always assuming the rumours have legs, of course!!

lol, I forgotten about that quote from Roofaldo

I bet Leeds United wish what he said had turned out to be true

Hmmmm you were adamant he had signed elsewhere.

Right, I'm going try this again.

I bought a lottery ticket, doesn't mean I'm going to win millions of pounds.

If we have signed him, then I'm reckoning on a Pryce, Walker, Lulia, Purtell 3/4 line as 1st choice. Would be my first choice too, but I'd like to see Kear push Kearney hard because he's got the potential to far exceed Kearneys current level of ability.

Hope he gives it his all then.

Lots of competition in the backs now which can only be good.

He'll be the same let down he always is. Probably start off well getting a few tries. His defence is pretty awful and usually the reason why clubs end up not playing him.

I'm shocked. That's come out of the blue. I don't imagine anyone saw that coming.

Well as it's only a 1 year deal that's only been signed in Jan then it seems to me that Potter is concerned regarding the fitness of Kear and/or Lulia for the beginning of the season and was unhappy with the back up choices he had already in the squad.

Also, given the signing has come late in the day (just over 3 weeks before the season starts) it kind of suggests that Pryce didn't have a lot of offers from SL clubs and that perhaps his new nickname should be Bargain Pryce
