The rumour is that Pryce could be one of four signings made by the BUlls in coming weeks.

Meli, Pryce, Gardner and Flannery would do nicely!

Not totally out of the question!

Bulls have lost our two biggest earners in Orford and Menzies, as well as hopefully securing some compo for releasing Orford, and offering reduced terms to some of the out of contarct players from last season. that leaves us able to compete for at least two big earning signings or one big signing and a few less high earning ones. Walker / Sibbit / Raynor are all on alost pay and play deals, so we can bring in the numbers if we have to!
Our weakness in the last few years has been our ability to score tries through our outisde backs. With Ainscough, raynor, Gardner , Meli, Platt, Kearney, AhVan and walker competing for places, as well as HAlley, and Vinny Finegan, crookes etc we would have a decent level of competition and quality in the backs.

Pryce at 6 would help young Southernwood to develop and having Sykes as utility cover would be ok.

this is really just a pipedream though isnt it!?!

None of them are i suppose. I reckon a half back pairing of Pryce and Hanbury would be pretty nifty.

One thread was one too many. Leon has aways said he loves playing for the Saints. Given that Bradford are trying to sell 10k season tickets it make sense that they are linking themselves with big name but the chance of them pulling this off is low. If they had some money then it would be possiblity but Bradford don't have a penny.

I agree that players like Gaskell, Lomax and Wheeler will need to be given time in the halves but I can't see this being anymore that wishful thinking by the Bulls.

Re: Pryce back to Bulls 2011?......... : Thu Sep 30, 2010 12:04 pm  

I can see him going at the end of his contract - it's his home-town club and he chose to stay in Bradford so the journey must be a pain - but I can't see him going next year.

If by some stretch of the imagination he did want a release, we shouldn't grant a freebie but instead ask for a hefty fee to compensate.

Re: Pryce back to Bulls 2011?......... : Thu Sep 30, 2010 12:05 pm  

would be a ridiculous decision to let him go now, unless:

- his injury is worse than anticipated, and he is going to miss the first few months of 2011
- he is desperate to leave
- the transfer fee is at least £250k

if 2 of those 3 are met, I would let him go - if not, keep him.
