A thought I've been mulling over for a couple of days:
IF there was a top quality Aussie stand off available - one who can really boss a game tactically and who has a very good kicking game (I know they don't grow on trees, but there's a few of them down there), would anyone be tempted to sign him up and let Pryce go to Bradford for some cash?
What has been really noticeable to me in each of the four finals (maybe not so much 2009) is that we've completely lost the plot under the pressure of the big occasion and failed miserably to do the simple things right. I think we'd benefit profoundly from a player in the halves who could provide a cool-headed brand of leadership (Wellens and Jammer are both leaders in a motivational sense, but they both tend to go mental when things are getting difficult, which doesn't always help IMO).
Obviously, the downside would be losing a fantastic attacking player in Pryce, and exchanging a British star for an Aussie one, which is never ideal.
Just a thought.

I'd go for that, Leon probably will be probably be off after next season anyway, so if we can get cash and a star too, that'd be ok
