Everyone seems to make that point when losing the battle in there efforts to persuade people that Saints players are average.
The same post is made about James Graham on the Saints board. The same post gets said about Long, KC, Wellens etc.....
It's amazing we have won 3 succesive challenge cups and won 4 hub caps in 4 seasons with such average and shi*e in our team! It must be something in the water.

I think people point to the fact he's an average stand off at the highest level. He should be at full back or centre internationally, preferably the latter.

Tried and failed. Playing players out of their positions on the international scene doesn't work.

Leon Pryce playing stand off at international level doesnt work.
I've never seen him play centre, because he shouldnt get a look in at 6.

He played centre internationally in 06 after Noble's immense brainfart. He crashed and burned.

I stand corrected, thought he was at 5, didnt remember him at centre.
Sorry Leon you're out then, because at that level defences dont fall for that show and go.
Need two creative players at 6/7, with a battering ram loose, not a ball player

You can add Wilkin to that as well, Pryce's game is all about the last ten minutes when teams are fatigued but it didn't work against Warrington because their fitness has improved 100% since Smith arrived.

| There were several occasions when Pryce had the ball and our defence didn't know whether to tackle him (he would then offload) or wait for the pass (he'd then step and go). He's a great Super League player and anybody who denies that is stupid.

Woah there Warrior lets not be going down the route of peronal insults.
Im sure that the OP has his views and opinions, which he/she is fully entitled to without being subjected to that kind of abuse.

Why not just say that you disagree with the view and state your reasons.
No need to call it stupid

| It is stupid though.
He has defences always second guessing what he is going to do (usually using Wellens). He creates speace on the back of this. Top player.

| He [idoes[/i float in and out of games, which means that his half back partner needs to be the one to control the game. However, anyone who doesn't think he should be playing standoff needs to sit down and take a good look at things.
If you watch a Saints season reveiw DVD, it becomes quite clear as [iso[/i many of our tries come from Pryces plays/half breaks/offloads. Before anyone says he doesn't do it in the big games, I would also disagree. For instance his try broke the game in the CC semi against Leeds (realistically the biggest game we played other than the GF).
I've also seen him pull us out the sh*t when we've been behind and everyone else has been playing like s.
I know people don't like him, you may not think he's the best 5/8 around, but he's pretty much Saints number 1 strike player (along with Gidley, perhaps).

I have no time for Pryce as a bloke, but this is unbelievable. He's a fantastic player as his medal cabinet testifies.
