I haven't read anywhere on here about Pryce and his cheap shot on Chris Hicks so...

Early in the second half Hicks was on the ground already tackled just a few metres from the Saints line when Pryce came into the tackle and appeared to drop his knee into Hicks head. Nothing was given and after the play the ball Chris went after Pryce but was stopped by a Saints player and a Wire (Johnson?). It looked, from where I was stood, like a really dirty cheap shot and I figured it must have been bad as I have never seen Hicks react in such a way before.

I expected to read page after page about it on here, and wouldn't have been surprised to see some form of action from the RFL. As I have read nothing, did it happen as I remember seeing it, or was it an insignificant thing that looked worse from where I was stood?

Obviously with a cheap shot being so out of character for Pryce I am starting to doubt my own eyes!

It was a real bad cheap shot from Pryce, dropped his knee staright onto Hicks face. Hicks had to have running repairs for the remainder of the game.

I too am suprised nothing has been said about this.

you will have saints fans coming on here in there droves,
with there leave leon alone outbursts.......

I dont think pryce is a cheap shot merchant really,
hes not man enough,cos he knows whoever he puts an illegal hit on,
will spend most of the game hunting him down,

i just dont think he plays within the rules of the game sometimes,
and grabbing another players knackers in the past will back this up...

I can think of at least one..Will probably call us bitter then drag up something that happened to a Saints player by a Wire player about a zillion seasons ago..

They'll bring up Carvell, I remember after the game them saying he was dirty, or something along those lines.

I didn't see it. I'd forgotton what a limited view of the game you get from behind the sticks! I'm definately a side stand watcher convert!

I agree with that, the terracing is very shallow at Saints and for someone who is only 5ft

it is difficult to see what is happening.

It's nothing new for Pryce is it. In the 2003 Grand Final when playing for Bradford he did exactly the same thing to Brian Carney. Carney had to leave the field (no penalty given) and from being 6 all Bradford took control of the game.

It looks as though Fridays incident was also missed.

Funny how you missed the Warrington player using a Saints head as a prayer mat.

Can't argue with the detail in that.

You should bring a milk crate with you like the ten year olds used to do at Wilderspool. Bless.

I mentioned this on the Matt King thread (nothing to do with Matt King but hey). The annoying thing about Price knee'ing Hicks in the head was the linesman was stood less than a metre from the incident and did nothing.

Was it deliberate or did he just fall badly? I didn't see it at the match and didn't notice it when I watched it back on Sky. If it was deliberate then he should have been bolloxed; if not - well, hey ho. It's not nice but things like that happen in rugby league.

How did you not see it on Sky ? Watch it again..... pretty hard to miss.

As for whether it was deliberate, I'd say it was. Possibly an attemted flop to slow the play down, but he still connected with the side of Hick's head.

The problem with Pryce is he seems to do stupid things in games that lets him down ie, feeling up other players. Its either that and he's a bit bent and just fancied copping a feel of Burgess's nads ? Who can say ?

Oh, quite easy to miss really. I was watching it with someone else and a glass of wine.




Can't argue with that!

Early on in the game, one of your players, might of been Hicks, did the same to Armstrong ... Maybe Pryce was looking after him, seemed to do the same last year, looking after a youngster that is.

Was he attacked by Burgess' balls?

This is correct. It was Hicks. Hicks just got a bit wound up by being owned by a fresh faced teenager on debut.

thats a shocker

Its a mans game, these Aussie's need putting in thier place, coming over here taking our jobs...
