Puletua Has Been Offered New 2 Year Deal : Wed Apr 20, 2011 10:05 am  

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,12206_6885665,00.html Hopefully he can get things sorted out at home and he can stay for the 2 years as IMO he is a big player for us!

TP is also the 4th choice for the exiles squad.

I really hope he stays. We're going to have to do some brilliant recruiting if he goes with Graham looking more and more certain.

Obv if Graham goes (which he will) will be a big blow BUT if on the same day big T signs a new deal then it will definatly soften the blow , but on the other hand we need to recruit a top class prop to replace Graham

I think we'll see Graham, Flannery and Pryce all leave. Flannery I'm confident will be replaced by a better player and that Lomax will take Pryce's boots. You're right though, we need a real workhorse to replace Graham and it will help massively if Perry stays fit next year.

TP would be a huge loss if he goes back down under but it frees up more space on the cap and also a place on our quota. So theres a little speck of light but i would much rather him stay

I dont understand the Pryce to NRL rumours though, strange one that.

It's okay, somebody cleared that one up on the rumours thread, they meant Northern Rail Line to Bradford.

In all honesty though, I don't think he'll be going to Oz.

IMO Graham going is a done deal behind the scenes and i dont mind Flannery leaving as he can be replaced by an academy lad but i think Pryce will go but im just wondering if there is a bit left in him, i mean he is one of our best players on the attack when fully fit but could we use him for 2 more years while Lomax gets expierence and just to say Lomax has done a fantastic job but still wonder if we should keep Leon

I think a lot of the Pryce / Lomax situation will depend on
a.) If Pryce ever gets fit again this season
b.) How Lomax continues to play whilst he has his opportunity

If Pryce continues to struggle for fitness and Lomax carries on playing well, I don't think the board will take the risk on an injury probe Pryce.

Pryce will be on an awful lot of money, the kids are looking good and don't forget about Hohaia coming. IMO Pryce is likely going.

Jammer may be leaving, but I reckon Cloughy can step into that workhorse role quite well. Chris hill has also been mentioned.
**EDIT** Just noticed Mace the Ace is off contract next year - does he still have his bedsit in Parr?
I'd like to see an Athletic running 2nd row come in for Flanders.
