Really? On one less outing Pryce has more tries, more try assists, more offloads, more tackle busts, 1 less clean break, half as many missed tackles and errors.

The only area McGuire seems to be on top is the (albeit important) kicking game.

Pryce was poor in the World Cup, no doubt about it, and probably deserves to sit this one out more than most. But I really do struggle to be convinced that we have a better option - he is clearly one of GB's most talented players.Good luck to McGuire though - whoever pulls on the shirt has my full support.

in sl he is for sure. i would love to see pryce in the nrl it would make him even better(its a shame we never will) i also think when putting international teams together pryce may struggle with some coaches due to the type of person he is. more and more in the modern game its far more than just how well you can run, kick, pass, and tackle. how you are as bloke counts just as much to coaches at club and international level.

Yeah great idea. Send our best players to the NRL and make their competition even better.

Nobody needs to test themselves in the NRL. Ellis was world class when he played for Leeds and he is World class now! Nothing as changed in his game.

The problem with our England team is lack of depth. Which shows when the likes of 'bog eyes' gets picked each time.

he's doing great for a rookie. but he's been in and out a six hasnt he? its not like he owns the shirt yet. and in time im sure he will. it will be good to have more than just 2 players fighting for the national 6 shirt

myler got a place for playing the likes of leigh and gateshead last year in national league, obviously that has payed off with performances for club and country. sam has really made an impression on super league and he deserves his chance to travel with the squad. to be honest i can see eastmond/clough/ainscough involved very soon.

Pryce goes missing in Massive games.

McGuire performs in massive games hence the two trys he scored in 08 against you and the 2 winning trys in the CC Semi final off the bench at Huddersfield which you can find on bbc sport.

And his winner against Bradford in 04 where he came up against Pryce again.

Pryce was MISSING for the World cup again and was ragged off the pitch at half time by Smith.
