How come no Pryce?

Wow, and you slate Radford as a coach.

No Pryce in there and you pick Steve Michaels at full back who never started in that position in 120 NRL games.

For me I think Jordan has way way more potential AND importantly I think he's shown that when thrown in at the deep end he can cut the mustard even with a side that has struggled. I don't think that Pryce offers anything over & above him and in fact I'd say aside from experience he is the better player of the two and the way forward for the club. I don't want JA being put into the back row/loose, we have plenty of solid players for that and more so to keep him out of the side when development of him is essential on the field at the top end of the game and not being being shipped off to Doncaster, that would be detrimental to him and to the club as a whole IMO.


Whatever, Radford is a micturate poor coach yes, but this isn't what the thread is about is it?

Pryce, he's a wasted signing, JA is the future at 6, as for put SM at No.1, it was mainly to provoke thought and given he's more than capable of the role I would have no qualms with him there. He can outjump most, he's safe as houses under the bumb and have you seen him tackle?? That said I'd be more than happy with Rankin as a backup fullback tbh. Shaul whilst pacy seems to be average in defence, certainly at the line where he gives up far too easily and gets run over just as easily, his pace might be better seved on the wing with Sa on his inside. I don't want to lose the binman as he's proven his worth and alongside Lineham I think it could be a very potent combination and certainly no weakness defensively.

But narrow minded people like you can't think outside of what isn't the obvious but crack on with your waffle...

.... charming.

What's it to do with you nosey, the poster quoting me made a snide remark and I responded in kind, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS or make a comment about the selections..

I sympathise as I always find it difficult to have reasonable conversations with bigots.

Pryce still has a lot to offer not only on the field but off it.If Radford started with Abdull he would be slated.In such a important season we need experience in the halves and Pryce will bring some calmness in attack and not panic when near the line which was norm last season. Abdull will get his chance and will become a star that I have no doubt.

Radford talking about our right side of Pryce, Minichiello and Sa in today's HDM and that this combination is coming together and will tighten things up defensively also. I'd forgotten Pryce and Sa played together at Catalans. On paper it looks a trade-up vs last year if we can keep them all fit, and as discussed before if Lineham can recover his 2013 form, it looks a handy right side.

Indeed. We absolutely must play players in their proper specialist positions, not move people around in order to accommodate others.
