Good post - I can't see any impartial supporters disagreeing.

I would say Greg inglis is twice as good as Greg eden, I would say Cameron Smith is twice as good as Paul Mcshane, I would say Curtis Naughton is on a very little salary, & are you assuming our HBs won't be creative whilst ears is in charge or do you know this for sure???

1. Do we really have adequate cover? As I see it we have one other fullback in the squad (Rankin) who will more than likely also be required to play in the halves and at 9. You want him to play 6 anyway. Naughton is a young player who won't be costing much money and could turn out to be a star. Until we get to see him play you can't possibly say that it's a mistake. If we let him go now and in 3 years he's playing for England you would be on here criticising the club and you know it.

2. I have no idea how good he is. Like yourself I have never seen him play before.

3. "Good" isn't a quantifiable unit of measurement. It's totally subjective. I could tell you that he is 5,000,000 times better and you couldn't prove me wrong, because there's nothing to measure it by. Or have I missed something and Shaul is 46 on the goodness scale and Naughton only 39?

4. By creative roles I am talking about pivots. 1, 6, 7 and in our case 13. We have no real experience in any of those areas if you take Pryce out of the equation.

5. What is your definition of creative? Pryce might not be your old fashioned 5' 6 cheeky half back and he might run the ball better than he kicks it. But ever since he was moved to the halves he has more than held his own in all the stats you would typically gauge creativity by.

But no you're right. I'm the one who doesn't know anything about rugby.

He was in the top three for try assists in Super League until Laurent Frayssinous decided to not select players who weren't staying. In 2013 he made the top ten in the league for try assists (and was top for Catalans, twice as many as their next highest, Bosc).

Try assists does not automatically equal being creative..Richard horne was top of our try assists and yet none on here would say he was creative so stop talking b0llocks.

Eloquent as ever.

And it was Rankin. Horne was third, behind Houghton. I actually check facts before posting.

Again. Define creative.

A creative player creates tries and chances. That is what Pryce has done all his career. As long as he makes things happen it doesn't matter how he does it.

Rankin has attitude and enthusiasm. 2 things you cannot coach.

He gets stuck in and can play 2 or 3 positions. I'd like to see him given another 3 years.
