Battle of the sixes: Tea Ropati vs Leon Pryce : Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:31 pm  

Ropati was the only player I've seen with a permanent limp. Leon breaks games for fun.

I think tea ropati in that season may well have been the best 6 to play for saints.

In that year he broke tackles for fun and his upper body strength was unreal.

Maybe pryce has done it longer but that year ropati was in another class.

tea ropati was only any good in the last year of his contract i.m.o and comparing him to pryce as a player is laughable....

Ropati used to be one of my fave players, but Tommy God and Pryce are way better. No contest.

La la la la Leon Pryce is yer man for this gig.

Tea had the chin, the muscles, the stuble and was a tough gem, but Leon is a killer, he can ruin a team with those long eleastic legs and rubber arms.

Yes I'd agree that pryce overall prob just shades it but that good season ropati had was just unreal.

All of these stupid threads (Why so many btw?) should be won by the more recent player. Our old teams were all pants, amateur pants at that. Like comparing Thatto Heath players to Jamie Lyon.

Pryce, a lot harder to break the line these days but he does it with ease on regular occasions in a game.
