Good move by Catalans and it is the 3 year deal is probably what put us out of the running. Pryce is 30 this October and if they have offered him decent money on top of 3 more years we'd always struggle, especially after the last year of significant injuries and us not liking long deals.

Be surprised if the add Carney to their line up though - with Greenshields at FB could they fit them all in?

Todd Carney will never leave the NRL

I would imagine there is something in his past that would threaten him getting a visa, knowing what he's like.

in what way is my head buried in the sand?

I would think that unfortunatlly, he is to good for the super league at this time. Maybe when he is older and his best years are behind him he may consider it but if the Roosters were thinking of letting him go, a lot of NRL clubs would be chasing his signature.

Thats why Catalan are interested isn't it, Greg Bird style?
