Agree with most you say, but he was always going to be hit and miss at Hudds as he was 18 to 20, not mant players that age are consistant or goid enough. NRL is a different level too, just some of SL best players who have failed to make an impact in the NRL.


He doesn't have to be the best either, as long as he improves us, which I'm confident he will, then it's a good short and long term signing 

I don't think we are far off in the front row, if Ashworth stays, we have 


Ese Ese
Aydin
Ashworth
Hill
Fash
Salabio


Plus maybe Wainhouse (if he stays).


One more would be nice, maybe Eseh if he shows up well the next few games.


As for a centre, without a quota spot, I don't see much better available that Cross, think he would be a good replacement for Briscoe, but if he or someone of equal or better quality isn't available I would keep Briscoe for one more year.


Maybe only King, but would he come and he wouldn't be cheap, depends on how much cap space we have.


Hopefully Litten has a good run at centre this year and he can nail down that position and have Briscoe, Westerman and Dawson as back ups.

Who has said they're underwhelmed?

Pretty much all fans are in agreement that its a very good signing . Not seen anything negative about it .

People like to make things up

I know we all like to have a moan from time to time but I can't say I've seen any comments saying they are underwhelmed?


Think it's fair to say most if not all have said what a good signing Pryce is, that he is young and has lots of potential, has pace etc. Again many have said he was a raw talent at Huddersfield but after 18 months in Aus and the NRL environment he'll be coming back a better player.


Think most are genuinely excited about the signing of Pryce, what he'll bring to the team already and the potential he has to be a genuine top class half, but just tempered by being realistic in expectations from when he first pulls on the shirt. 


Whilst some 'sour' fans from our close neighbours have said he's not all that, can't get a game in the NRL, lazy, poor attitude, not worth the money he'll be on blah blah blah, the more sensible ones admit he's a very good signing. Our recent history with a younger half that couldn't get a game in the NRL in Clifford didn't pan out too badly did it, even across the river it was a similar situation with Schneider.


All in all Pryce has the ability and thankfully we now have the Coach and environment for a player to really develop with the likes of Sezer, Asiata and Cust to learn from.
