Prior

[Minh]

Imagine with a fully fit Weyman back and touch wood no further injuries to our pack how dominant a pack we have. Think about it last year even with Smith, Costigan and Saffy in the team we lost most games without Weyman. This year we are 4 from 4 without Weyman so that says a lot about the strength of our forwards, I believe to be stronger than last year due to player maturity after winning the GF, as well as the return of Dan Hunt and smart buys such as Cuthbertson. Creagh and Scott are terrorising the opposition on the edges also.

Prior always reminds me of One G.Grant

i wonder how many on here would remember georgie, what a great year he had in'79 over 200pts.

- makes a lot of tackles but is often second man in, or jumper grabbing. players always remain on their feet when he tackles them, often causing a quick play the ball.
- makes a lot of runs, but very ineffective, never breaks the line, never runs with any purpose or intensity.

Can't be watching the same player...the reason our defense is so good is that our backrowers have great line speed and Prior is no exception...hes the first one to hit as much as anyone and as far as play the balls go i'd say hes as close as you come to a specialist at slowing it down without giving away a penalty.
With the ball in hand is another story. He does drop it alot but holds it out in front of him like he did at the start of career (as a centre) so needs to work on this. He also makes plenty of offloads though so im not ready to call him a complete offensive liability
