F**k, I feel like I played the 80 with 'em. I'm rooted.

For a neutral, that would have to be game of the year imo. We don't play like that with Cogger.
Pryce provided more than I hoped he would. I didn't know that he had some distance on his boot too. I've seen a lot of very handy short kicking from him in highlights so I really do think he's the complete package and just needs time. He's got the running game and some clever hands too.

He's keen, a hard worker and has a lot of skill and pace. I do think he'll make it in time. It'll be interesting to see where he's at when Gamble is ready to come back. I think he has the highest ceiling of all our halves.

Useless dud of a nsw selector and even worse at commentating. He f**king sucks at everything
He's not even decent at hiding his bias. So unprofessional. I actually wonder where his hatred of Newcastle stems from. I've heard some theories but come on you old fool, it's time to let it go.

I hope O'Sullivan can find us a top tier 9. Has Sharpe ever played in the halves? Cos Pryce has potential to become a halfback IMO.

Ponga
Sharpe
Pryce
? 9

The speed of our game would be something else.

Yes, his boot surprised me most. He really hoofs it and we haven't had that for a long time aside from Gamble who can send them into row 27 at times.

Pryce only got trampled once that I saw. He looked committed in defence in an extremely high quality match. I'm with you, he's the one the persist with. Still need a good halfback and hooker though.

Games like that make me so jealous of the people that get to go. Never been to Newcastle so absolutely need a visit. Ofc chances are I’d go to a game with cogger spudding it up
Couldn't be worse luck than me. I've been to some bad ones. The Joey broken jaw when we were 20-0 up and losing on the bell and the Clint Newton elbow of death on Ashton Sims come to mind.

That said, I did have good seats at Origin Game 2, 2005.

Really liked Pryce's kicking game and didn't over play his hand. I think the best aspect of his game tonight was his ability to keep Cogger out of the side.

Just putting it out there but I prefer Gamble over Hastings. I'd be happy to have Gamble play on the left as our seven and Pryce stay at 6 on the right.

I wish we could somehow make Gamble into a ball playing lock. I don't think it's possible though. I love the guy.

Will be interesting when Gamble is back. All will be depending on Pryce’s and the teams form and fitness.

Didn’t get to watch the game (will do that tomorrow).

Will Pryce went ok then? Could legit be a 7?
