Only a tiny bit.

Royston is 28, so not exactly young in RL terms. I would agree he has done fairly well for us so far but I wouldn't consider him anything other than a fairly average SL player in all honesty. That isn't a criticism of Royston just the cold hard truth IMO. He has stepped up from the division below and not looked out of place so he deserves credit for that.





Fair enough, who would you like to see Bradford recruit instead?

At the end of the day, Leon is a class player and a player who would give us much needed experience in the stand off position. To turn someone down of that calibre would be an option in other teams cases but with our team and the rebuilding process we are in, surely it would be in the teams interest to sign a higher standard of player to improve the squad as a whole?

someone other than Leon. I think he is or has been a brilliant player, but I have just seen Bradford sign too many players in the last few years who have spent much of the previous season injured. It's ok if the player is on the younger side (Kearney) but when it comes to someone like Leon at 30 you are taking a bigger risk.



I'm just worried we may jump onto signing Leon Pryce too early then miss out come the end of the season if another, better player comes available.



I can see why people would want him here....I just peronsally think it would be a poor decision by the club.

He asked you who you would sign instead? I rather think most people would have expected a name...?

todd carney

wasn't he refused a visa? or am I thinking off someone else.

I might have to come along to the race night.



I'll spread the word during my commentaries

Yep the very first one to be refused in the modern clamp down followed by Crocker, Bird and Eastwood.

Great player, but having just got his NRL career back on track... would he be looking to move to Bradford? Doubtful I would say at his stage of career. I personally feel we'd be far stronger signing someone like Pryce (non quota) and use any available quota spots to bolster our threequarters.

Which is, of course, true. Wardle left before the Royston signing was announced.

I'm not saying that wouldn't be a good option, I just think there may be better ones.



I just have major reservations about signing Leon. At the same time if it happens and he is a major success and does massively change our fortunes and successes I won't be complaining. I'm not saying in this thread that I don't think he wouldn't be a quality player to add to the squad. I just want to look forward not backwards.
