Karl Pryce v Mark Flannagan

Post by dave t »

Well I said it last week and I will say it again, why didn't we give Flannagan a chance at stand off against Catalans instead of Karl Pryce?
I am convinced he could be a future star in that position and yet again he has been ignored?

No bloody contest - he should stick to basketball ( Shaq)

Pryce was woefull, he looked clueless, majority of the time he was wandering about keeping out of the way. What a waste of a substitute. Must seriously have to give Flanagan a look in now

I wasn't at the game but when I saw the substitution Pryce for Riddell actually thought that maybe Pryce was going to move to centre, Goulding to the wing, Richards to full back and Phelpsy at 6, and Tommy to 9. Pryce had a half decent game against Quins but I don't think he has the heart, the size of the man he should be playing in the second row.

I daresay if Gleeson is fit the question will not arise as Goulding and Gleeson will probably be in the 17 before either. However, Flannagan is the better reserve of the 2 mentioned given his ability to play hooker, back row and stand off.

Pryce should actually play prop in the reserves to make him work hard for the 80 minutes. Do not substitute him.

Why don't we just get rid of the big lazy lump of lard.

I keep expecting him to wake up and wonder where he is!

I don't care what position he plays as long as it's at another club.

I rather like cp's idea of putting him in a position where he'll have to do some work. We need to get him fit somehow, since we've got him for another year now.

Why does it have to be Pryce v Flaganan?,Pryce is a centre or Winger,Flanagan a hooker or loose forward? so the comparison is totally irrelevant.
