Karl Pryce was not just a big lump, he had talent and a good hand off. He was badly advised to go into Union and as a result wasted his time. I remember watching him and thinking we had unearthed a real talent.....don't let what happened in the meantime obscure the fact he was a good talent.

Standing around in the cold, chasing the odd kick was going to toughen him up?

Never mind never came to pass, more like never got a pass.

The major problem with SL is that unlike the NRL it cannot call upon the athletic talent of the entire nation. We're always scrabbling around in the dregs, failures and offshoots that are left in the barrel after football's taken its pick.

Guys like Hayne and Inglis are physical freaks, for sure. But English football is littered with such right down to Div 2 (and beyond). If we could take just a sixth of that athletic pool we'd be unstoppable.

Probably the most accurate reason why we consistently lag the Aussies in producing top quality players.
