There has been a rumour going around this side of the Pennines for a week or so now that Leon is sick of the travelling (since Gilmour left) and is seeking a release. I had heard that he was look to sign for a West Yorkshire club although not necessarily Bradford.

Perhaps the fact that no similar rumours over your way would suggest it is a load of bull. But if he fancies rejoining his hometown club then we could certainly do with his services!

I doubt it. I can't see anyone wanting to go to Bradford the way they are playing recently.

I guess it's possible but I'd imagine it would be at the end of his contract, to release im Saints wouldeither need to have a top class replacement lined up ready to go or I imagine would want a decent fee for him.

Well, only about a couple of months ago in RL World he said that he preferred to live in Bradford but play in St Helens as it means he gets away from the pressure. So either he's changed his mind, was lying to RL World or what you've heard is desperation because the Bulls are not snorting much this season.

Would make sense to play for your home town club, if they were any good!

Bulls have been shocking, pretty much since Leon left them.

He is at the peak of his career now and I for one think Saints should get him signed up for at least 3 more years.

Would we start booing him again then?

I think we've had his best years and he`ll be on a good wage.

Now that mcnamara`s gone and if hes not a potter hater it wouldnt surprise me.

He has shown much better form this year but I`d much rather try and keep kyle than give pryce another 3 years.

It's not an either or. Leon Pryce is our best player. Simple as that. Let him go and we might as well all go to the NRL with Jammer for a few years and we won't be doing anything otherwise.

We need to keep them both. Pryce has been excellent this year and we definitely don't want to let him go.

This man - for once - he speaketh the sense! (Beside Jammer...)

Pryce is a great player who has regained some form after going missing for a good while.

He has another season after this which presumably he wiill see out.

If he does decided to move on then I can think of £100K+ reasons why Saints will
solve the problem of his departure.

I agree, i think by the end of 2011 it is prob time to replace leon unless he's still playing to a high level, but the money he's on i think we can find a good 6 to replace him.

Will both our halfbacks be off contract at the end of 2011 ?

We can't afford to let Leon go. When he hits top form, Saints hit top form, simple as. He's an integral part of our team and will be in the future I hope.

The chances of him still playing at the highest level in 2012 are pretty slim, he must be 30ish now.

For me me he is our main attacking player and very very important to how we go this year.

He's 28, 29 in October. Don't think he's ready for retiring for a few more years yet.

Maybe not but alot can happen btween now and the start of 2012, IMO i don't expect him to be at saints for the start of 2012.

Why, because of his age? He will be 30 for the 2012 season!
You just stated in your last post that you thought he was 30,now. Then by your own admission went on to say you thought he was our main threat....
Therefore when he is actually 30 in 2012there is no reason why you should think he won't be good enough for Saints.

I don't see any reason why not, unless he especially wants to spend his final years somewhere else. If he continues to enjoy his pivotal position in the team and perform as he has been doing this season then there is no reason why he can't remain here until and after he is 30.

I never said he won't be there because of his age, however i don't think he will want to sign another deal at saints, i think he will go back to bulls.

If we do offer him a deal i think it will be a year which he might sign with a chance to play a the new stadium.

Chill out pal, is he a close mate of yours or something ? very defensive towards him

Not really, thought you were saying a few posts previous that he shouldn't be here in 2012 because you thought he was 30 now and so would be too old when the time comes.
I must have mis-read it or something.


Chill pills all round.

The point i was making, he's getting to a age where he will won't his last big contract, i don't think sir mac will give him a big deal.

I can see the bulls giving him a big deal to finish his playing days at his home town club.

He is our beat attacking player and whwn he hits form i don't think any number 6 in super league come close to him, as i said before IMO whaT we do this year will depend on how leon plays.

dont quote me but i heard his sponsor who makes up his salary has gone bust, can saints afford to make up his salary under the cap

Well if perfomances are anything to go by Leon must be happy as a pig in sh** . He was absolutely magnificent today in every facet of the game. Doesn't have the look of a player wanting away.

Well, he wanted to play at 6 and I guess this season he has finally got his wish!
