Its not hard to follow...there is a clear balance between the here and now and how many years you get out of a player. Lockyer is by far and away better than Pryce but we would only get a season out of him and would be gambling with respect to his fitness.
Lyon on the other hand is far better than Shenton [uAND[/u the age gap isnt that great compared to your Lockyer example.

So your previous comment was incorrect then? Thanks.

not at all because I didnt commit to an answer. I changed the conditions. (ie Lockyer 2 years ago)

I believe you said "you wanted the better player" then decided you didn't, so moved the goalposts to attempt to give your answer a bit of credibility.

Nope.

Under different conditions I would pick Pryce.

I would not pick Pryce over Lockyer just because Pryce is British (much like my original point that I wouldnt pick Shenton over Lyon just because he too is British)

However if we were to factor in age etc I would. This isnt a problem with the Lyon comparison because he is also a decent age.

I always love a good Darren Lockyer V Leon Pryce debate......



It takes me back to when that Keith the Beef feller tried to convince us all that the BNP were a set of fine upstanding gentlemen

Darren Lockyer possesses every attribute required in the game of Rugby League..... Leon Pryce is 6ft 3 and can hold a rugby Ball and run at the same time.

and only plays well against poor teams

keith is an idiot, that's a fact! i have told him to his face on numerous occasions, he has been unable to prove otherwise, he can keep his master race if it's full of people like him...........grrrrrrr
