I think the reason they kept him on was because they're fearful they'll let him go and then the penny will drop with the lad whilst at a club like Leigh(or somebody similar) and he'll start to pull his finger out. If he did that a big club would go in for him and maybe they could get the best from him. If a team could only get his attitude to imporve they'd be onto a monster of a player.

We have to hope we're the team that can get something from him. It's going to take something abit different to get that from him and it might be that a change of coach(if it happens) or a loan move to the National leagues will help him.

Like you say how a 6ft 5, nearly stone beast of a bloke can run around like he's scared of his own shadow is beyond me.

Imagine him with Sam Tomkins faerless attitude

The one thing the club cannot teach is heart.
Something has definitely been added to the 'Bradford' water these last 24 months or so.

Thats the worry.

The only hope for Pryce is that something will kick him into gear. The worry in hoping for that though is that nealry 2 years out through injury if anything made him looks less interested.

A proper waste of a talent.

Trying to compare him to someone from the past and the only player that comes to mind is Simon Haughton. Even then SH had some absolute belting games early in his career after which he just seem to give up.

Kris Rads said in his book that Haughton was such a fantastic natural talent but just didn't care much for playing rugby league.

Your right in that Pryce looks to be cut from the same cloth.

After watching 22-year-old Simon Haughton run through the entire Australian pack to score in a test match at Elland Road (in addition to all the other teams he routinely ran through, including the likes of Saints, Leeds, Canterbury etc), I remember thinking that we possibly had one of the hottest properites and greatest second rowers on Earth.

Less than two years later, he'd viritually disappeared as a professional RL player. Truly one of the game's great mysteries.

He terrorised the Aussies that day at Elland Road(shame the rest of the team didn't).

He wasted his talent and we have one or 2 in this squad that look like they could do the same.

Kris Rads should get into them and tell them all about his mate Simon Haughton.
