Iam not too sure about Daniel Holdsworth, i dont think he is out of contract is he ?

It's in the star too, so it's a lie [urlhttp://www.dailystar.co.uk/rugby/view/197357/Ray-Cashmere-in-a-dash-back-to-Oz/[/url

They used to have the same owner, so I assume a syndicated story.

Edit - they still do, it's Dirty Desmond.

Holdsworth isnt a bad player, certainley better stand off than BK or Herbert.

I'd be pretty happy if we managed to get Holdsworth. Would be surprised if Salford were willing to let him leave though! Although we did let them have Wagga so it would only be fair of them to return the favour!

Holdsworth signed a 3 year deal to stay at Salford half way through last season. We need to get a loan and get Rangi Chase signed, they can have some of our players in exchange too.

TBF the article does say he's likely to stay at Salford.

Karl Pryce will be in a Bulls shirt next season.

I wouldn't be unhappy about that

He'd be ok outside a good centre, certainly has ability and size. Need to produce it more consistently.

He can play in the too. He did well at Odsal recently (a hat trick) and would be home grown too.

whether it would be a good signing depends entirely on which karl pryce turns up. The one who who wants to play would be a decent acquisition. The lazy lump who limps off after a soft tackle wouldnt.

Can't say the return of KP would have me jumping joy. Worth it perhaps if it convinces his better brother to sign too thouugh.

The one who wants to play would make a World XIII - the other one is a waste of space.

Exactly my thoughts. got to wonder if its part of a deal involving leon too. this next contract period would be there last chance to play on same team and cant see catalans picking karl up.

It'd be nice to see some real size and pace in the three quarters. Lulia and Pryce would be an imposing force for any team to deal with. Just look at the number of tries Karl scored playing outside Hape, if we do get him outside Lulia, hopefully we could see something similar.

I wouldn't be despondent at seeing Karl back at the Bulls, though I wouldn't like to think we were depending on him. Major thoughts would be about defence, though the current threequarters haven't totally covered themselves in glory there either, along with my impression that the only team Karl seems to [ireally[/i shine against is us. He certainly knew the way to the line when he was here before though, so I guess he can still do a job, but well behind such as Royston in the pecking order imo.

Leon has signed for Catalan - that is fact.

So we spent the whole of the last off season kite flying about signing a player who was contracted elsewhere and now he is off contract we're not signing him?

Perhaps he just doesn't want to come anymore

Or maybe we don't want to pay his undoubtably large salary?

Or both...

Or maybe we thought we'd signed Seymour so told Leon where to go, only for Seymour to knock us back and leave us with no options for next season...

Sounds about right TBH !!

I'll be disappointed if we've missed out on our halfback targets for next year once again. Hood indicated that a top four finish is our target. Surely he cannot expect players like KP and AV to be of the calibre to achieve this? We'll be scrapping for 8th again next year if those rumours are true.

Wouldn't go near Karl Pryce. Has all the potential to be a world beater. But don't think he'll ever get there. He's lazy, doesn't work hard enough and certainly can't tackle.
