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.

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.
