Pricey is Back!

[Fast Eddie]

Just heard on the radio that Pricey is playing tomorrow. Wiki is out with a 'rib cartilidge' injury....

 

[Fast Eddie]

Also I think he just said Witt wasn't playing.

 

[Jesbass]

Yeah Witt's out, but Price is back. Hadn't heard about Wiki.

 

[Dr Crane]

Can Price play 5/8 or half?

 

[Fast Eddie]

I think the gain that is having Pricey back will be hurt by not having Witt as we saw how Rovelli went when he was a stand alone half last week.

EDIT- I was thinking that as well. Pricey could probably slot nicely into halfback.

 

[Jesbass]

Can Price play 5/8 or half?

Get him to kick goals, too. Either him or Lauaki...

 

[WarriorsRock]

Thats great news
Big shame about Witt though, Rovelli and Ropati need to step up if ropati plays 5/8.

 

[lockyno1]

Pricey for halfback

 

[Martli]

Great News about Price. Not so great news about Witt.

I'm guessing either Solomona will slot into the wing with Kirk going to centre, or we'll bring in Shortland with Ropati going to 5/8th? Sounds like we're going to get trounced.

That's the rumour.

[ozbash]

[LeagueNut]

It's worth noting that the last time Jerome Ropati played 5/8th against the Roosters, he scored four tries. :sarcasm:

FFS, can we have one of our first choice players back without another one out?! What a utter **** of a year.
Personally if Price was not 100%, IMO they should leave him another week. If we win but lose Price for the year it's not much of a victory.

 

[Micistm]

lol... no doubt this news put a smile on faces across NZ and all the way through QLD..

Lol, does that mean the Warriors get the chance to play Price, and if he's selected for Qld stress hes not ready then play him the next week ala Benji/Tigers?:lol:

 

[Scottey]

Huge to get Price back, not only in the context of the season, but he will be a huge lift for our toughest home game of the season.

The fact that Pricey can play close to 80 minutes (not tomorrow, but down the track, touch wood) means our propping rotation will be great - we will have Tuimavave and Packer fresh coming off the bench where they can be great impact players.
