Um did you not see Price in SOO this year?

To be honest, I missed him. I remember quite a bit, including the forward games from the better players on both sides. But nothing of substance from the prop come centre. Don't get me wrong. Makes great metres... but so do most fullbacks.

I challenge you to watch him. It's interesting how little things become very obvious once they are pointed out. He rarely runs any where near the middle. It's a good tactic when on top, but when the pressure was on, the Warriors pack buckled because they lacked starch in the middle.

And your opinions get stranger. Tell me a prop that doesnt run on the fringes.

Most Props only have the occasional run on the fringes, that's the stuff of Backrowers. Price rarely gets 20 metres from the sideline. Effective, yes. The work of a Prop, hardly.

I believe if you look to the clubs who finished the season better than the warriors you'll find many props who do not. It's all well and good to do it when you're up by 20... The warriors were shown up in the semis when the going got tough.

I support the Warriors, I watch him every week.

The Warriors pack buckled against a weak Cowboys pack but they certainly didn't buckle against the Eels. It's a strange theory to suggest that the Warriors pack never really got done by anyone all season, and then suddenly got shown up by a 2nd string Cowboys pack because of Price :?

Peacock's back at prop this week hopefully he'll play better in this position as although he had a reasonable game last week he was definatly outshone by others. Getting a game under his belt might do him some good after the grand final celebrations anyway. Must say i was impressed with asotasi who i have not seen regularly can see why people rate him so highly especially running back to stop the donkey wellens scoring what was a certain try.

Peacock hit a bit of form this morning. Very impressive. Up the middle too.
