THE PRYCE IS RIGHT? OR IS HE???????

[thomo]

As Pryce was brought in to cover the backs how do we cover for him been injured.
Are there any young centres that could cover or do we have to look to recruit short term.
Maybe Noble's plan is to have Bailey covering as third centre - but then do we need a forward to cover the second row - there is one to debate (Thackery?)
League Weekly last week indiciate quotes from both coach and chairman that there is a little room left in the salary cap for one more possible signing?

Depends what happens long-term with Pryce - if we have to write off this season (or even cancel the deal altogether) for him, that would free up more cap space.

I'd say initially, yes, Bailey covers centre if there's an injury to Goulding or Carmont, with, say, Tomkins or Mossop covering for Hock/Hansen in the pack. Or, I believe, Mathers has played centre in the past - Richards to fb, Stanton/Colbon on the wing?

Another centre signing would be good, but only if a reasonable quality one became available (and affordable).
