As been said, it's a squad game. If Pryce's performances are dipping then I would hope Radders and Lasty get another player there who deserves a shot.
Gone are the times when a players name guaranteed them a jersey. Yeaman was like that for years. As soon as he was dropped, he took a chance and is now hard to get out of the team. Thats the ethic I want at this club. If Pritchard is playing poorly, then I want Hadley and Thommo to step up (as they did yesterday).
Carlos NOT a runner, he is absolutely what we have craved for years a true BALL player. Somebody who takes the ball to the line, gets defenders guessing & puts people into holes - also a great kicker. BUT he was a little quiet yesterday & physically he is a little lightweight so I suspect a years development before we see the best of him. Don't really see him as a centre, his skills won't be utilised plus lack of real pace & size will be an issue.
How about Pryce at 6, Carlos at right centre and Fonua on the right wing. We then have the game management of Pryce, the attacking flair of CT and Fonua back in his natural position. This should help tighten up our right side defence. Naught on has done well but gets overpowered at times.
Ive been critical sometimes of Pryce as he doesn't seem to impose himself enough. In saying that, when he does make a contribution it's usually a telling one. Still got a part to play. Still think we'll end the season with him at stand off and Carlos at centre.

I think attack wise, fonua at centre has been a great call. He's a beast!
I'd like to see Pryce back for the Wire trip, think we've missed him esp. first half v Widnes. Whether that means Tuimavave to centre or coming off the bench I'm not sure but hopefully Radford will make the right call. Would prefer four forwards on the bench but Tuimavave in the centre would probably mean Michaels dropping out which would be a shame as I thought he was great v Widnes.

Real tough call for Radford this one. He was correct to drop Pryce but this could be the game to bring him back and prove his worth to the team Michaels should on merit retain his place so its the Tuimavave to bench or not question. Like you i would rather have four forwards Bowden,Pritchard,Green,Thompson/Hadley on the bench

Did Pryce deserved to be dropped, ok he had a poor half vs Rovers, but was really good in the previous two games against Saints and Wigan away, which were our best two performances of late?
I'd look to have him in the 17 for the Warrington game, not sure how and were though.
