I'm assuming he's carrying an injury that's restricting his game and buggering up his timing. He certainly doesn't look himself at the moment.

Agreed. I'd give him a rest and let Ashe have a run at full back.

I hope that is the reason because it's pretty sad watching him St the moment, he's a pale shadow of the player he was.

It's strange that he's lost his ability to take the high ball that has been a main feature of his game and imo has been the safest player I've seen for part 10 years unde the high ball.

Now would I do that?




You've made a valid point. Wow!

Just joking, honest. About the wow, I mean, not the valid point! Without experienced halves we can only go so far. But the only way halves gain experience is by playing. Bit of a catch 22 really! Should Pryce actually make it on to the pitch for more than three minutes, he will undoubtedly play from then on in, I would imagine with Lomax as his halfback partner unless Eastmond is considered to be on form/engaged enough to go back to his 7 spot. Whatever the club decides, for this season or next, I hope that the experience the young guys have gained this season is not put to waste and that any replacements in the halves are not played to the detriment of their chances to develop.


I know. I've said it elsewhere. He seems to be right off form or carrying an injury. He was a little better under the bombs on Friday - he caught them all. But for the first time since I've been watching him, I was nervous when they came at him!

A little off topic.

I've been away for few weeks but watched the Wigan and wolves game while away but couldn't hear the commentary.

Where was perry against Wigan?

Injured. Apparently he had trouble with the top of his hamstring.

Thats all three games against Wigan he's now missed. I was big big fan of perry for a good few years now but I must admit I'm a little worried about how his first year has gone. He doesn't look the same player that was one of the top props in the NRL. It might be down to lack of games but that also worries me.

That's the risk we take by employing Aussies I suppose. I think it's possible he's finding it difficult to adjust. For example, he was interviewed after he received his ban saying that the NRL deals differently with fights. He might now not know how to be on the pitch, what with the game being different here anyway plus him having to tone down his aggression. But hopefully he will come good in time.

At least we got no injuries at all from the game against Warrington. That must be a first this season! So unless Moore has to do some rehab, we should have the same team playing against Hull as we had against Warrington. That must be a first as well this season!

But more importantly saintsfan, have you missed me?

Of course. Don't I always?

aw thanks, it's cheered me knowing you've missed me

I think, when he's played, he's been very good. A few to many injuries and a harsh suspension have been infuriating.

I'm glad you're back it takes the pressure off me.

I dread to think what sort of heated debates to place between you and the love of my life after the saints v Wigan game

I barely mentioned the Saints game, that would have been far too easy.

Kyle Eastmond is the best "gane breaker" in the league. Unfortunately this year he is a complete write-off due the way his contract renewal was handled.

I really believe Saints cut their nose off to spite their face with Eastmond.

While watching the last few games it's passed my mind that maybe Kyle should be given another shot at halfback now.

Posting with an iPhone,or have we a new player?

iPhone

I'm trying to work out how an iPhone, or indeed anything with something remotely approaching a typing facility, could confuse 'Kyle' and 'Lyme'.

It can be done

Predictive text you melon.

American predictive text at that !

Lyme and Kyle are similar in predictive text? (First thing I do when buying a new phone is switch of the bloody predictive text .. it's a pain in the rear end)

You mean [ia rain go tie foe[/i surely?
