Agree on Pryce. Radford hinted that Carlos will be back for the Cup game. I think he'll go straight to stand off.

He is really a winger playing centre, so learning different defensive roles. I reckon as a Niger his defensive style is likely to be show them the outside and then put them in row z. At centre he is getting moved around.

You see tries against catalans? I watched them. Not even by stretching my imagination can I lay blame for any on him. At a stretch I can blame 1 on noggers. Pryce defo the 1st. But generally the whole right is slightly off. Which Fonua covers pretty well in today's paper

Yes I have seen the catalans try's. Fonua does make a poor read for Andersons first. This isn't a Fonua bashing and I agree that the right side needs to work a little better together.

But the point here is that Logan got dropped for less and I think he deserves an opportunity again

You are making assumptions here.

Check out the Catalan away game on You Tube. Notice their tries (both Pat Richards) were scored in almost identical plays to the ones Richards scored at the KC on Friday. Fonua was not playing in France. Its a weakness on that side for us with Catalans have exploited. To point the finger at Fonua is hash to say the least.

I like Fonua, he runs the ball in with real purpose.

Personally I think Pryce has been a little ineffective and this has a knock on effect to our attack (Sneyd doing all the creating) and our defence, as has been pointed out on this thread.

I like Fonua too, he offers a lot going forward and changed the Rovers game late on

I was at the catalans home game and appreciate what you're saying about the right side in general, Pryce is another conversation all together

I just think Fonua would be more valuable as a winger, with his go forward, similar to Talanoa. Centre is a difficult position to defend in, why I think Yeaman has been so valuable this season and I personally don't think Fonua has been defensively smart enough this year with his goal line defence. I thought Logan was making better choices up until a bad game against Wakey and I think he could make a positive impact on the right.

On the plus side how tight is the left hand side? virtually nothing gets through there

Atm fonua offers more than Logan. IMO think Pryce is the weak link and time to give tuimvare a run at stand off

No he doesn't. Pryce comes out n ball watches and does nothing by which time it's too late for Fonua to cover for him. Fonua blasted him as well for it on the way to stand under the posts. Pryce who ain't short on mouth just pretty much accepted it

This was said when he first signed, he'had a few good games but is inconsistent.

This is exactly why his defensive failings (at Centre) get overlooked by some. Same for Talanoa.

I'm guessing that isn't what you meant to type????

SL teams seem to pass/attack from right to left, it's players natural way of passing, making most teams right side defence more exposed, making more tackles & having most of the plays finishing that way.

It's clear the word is meant ro be winger
