Slightly of at a tangent, but if people are suggesting the club are trying to find the money to bring Karl in, where does that leave Phil Joseph, who was officially on trial?

What about Karl though? Brilliant junior and a proven try scorer as a senior but has never cemented a spot in SL, largely due to his defence, it must be said. He's got such ability but has been soooo laid back it's untrue. I still harbour hopes that he'll break the shackles to become the player he promised to be all those years ago. Unless there is a big change in his approach to the game I can't see him being first choice though, but it really is down to him, [iIF[/i he puts a marker down and [ireally[/i puts in the effort and forgets all the inhibitions which have held him back he's [istill[/i young enough to carve a new life out of all the disappointment of recent years.

So. He can, but, will he? Always assuming the rumours have legs, of course!!

lol, I forgotten about that quote from Roofaldo

I bet Leeds United wish what he said had turned out to be true

Hmmmm you were adamant he had signed elsewhere.

Right, I'm going try this again.

I bought a lottery ticket, doesn't mean I'm going to win millions of pounds.

If we have signed him, then I'm reckoning on a Pryce, Walker, Lulia, Purtell 3/4 line as 1st choice. Would be my first choice too, but I'd like to see Kear push Kearney hard because he's got the potential to far exceed Kearneys current level of ability.

Hope he gives it his all then.

Lots of competition in the backs now which can only be good.

He'll be the same let down he always is. Probably start off well getting a few tries. His defence is pretty awful and usually the reason why clubs end up not playing him.

I'm shocked. That's come out of the blue. I don't imagine anyone saw that coming.

Well as it's only a 1 year deal that's only been signed in Jan then it seems to me that Potter is concerned regarding the fitness of Kear and/or Lulia for the beginning of the season and was unhappy with the back up choices he had already in the squad.

Also, given the signing has come late in the day (just over 3 weeks before the season starts) it kind of suggests that Pryce didn't have a lot of offers from SL clubs and that perhaps his new nickname should be Bargain Pryce

Thats a terrible signing, you know your in trouble when you sign a player nobody else in SL wants.
Usually a player like KP would be signed up by either Cas, Salford whoever the newboy in SL a team coached by B Noble or us, and nobody went near!!!!

You're right. Players that no one else in SL want usually go to Wakefield.

Pryce's heart may be a questionable, but his strike rate isn't. 79 games 57 tries. If he's got a quality centre beside him, then his short comings are a little easier to hide.

As always, I am reserving judgement. Let's give it time and see if he can kick on.

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

33 of those tries were scored 6 years ago or more for you when you were in your pomp.
TBF to him his try scoring record isnt bad at all, its his heart and his defence thats more a worry.
I'm still glad we haven't signed him!!

TBH, So am I. Just so I can remind you of the garbage you're currently spouting when he runs over youre piddly wingers next season.

Calm down sugar lips, nobody is doubting his ability to go over little wingers, its the big wingers you need to worry about when he's attacking that is his problem, the little wingers and anyone else for that matter, are only a problem when he's defending.
I've seen bigger hearts in pygmy shrews.

Shouldn't have no problem against your lot then.

I would imagine the days for "bulls" fans, when they think they will have no problems against anyone, are long since gone.
I'd change your profile name if i were you!!!

Nah I dont think I will.

I think the T&A article sums it up well.. he has a lot to prove. I'm not convinced he has all the ingredients needed to be a top SL player but I wish him well.

I think he needs to make a good start alongside a strong centre and if his confidence is high he could be a handful. He will get a clean slate from me and I hope supporters give the lad a chance. I would hope this signing means we haves managed to move on some of the dead wood from last year. I await further announcments with interest.

How about Bulls4Championship?

With a back-line from: Lulia, Purtell, Walker, Ainscough, Kear and now Pryce that looks pretty potent to me, who's in your back-line maybe we can compare?

Cockayne, Mathers, Fox, Collis, Mellars, Morton and Walshaw, both mid to bottom half of the table material!!

I like the sound of Pryce being Lulia's winger

Everything we hear about Lulia says that he is a very good defender and excellent at releasing his winger into space - very much in the Shontayne Hape mould. If that is anything like true, then Pryce could have a field day in attack, whilst hopefully Lulia will help him out in defence.

I'm not saying the Lulia and Pryce are going to be the new Les / Shontayne, but I could see them being a decent combo at the very least

And Purtell and Kear for other wing doesn't sounds too bad either....
