Trueman on his day looks very good. He does also seem quite injury prone though and to be honest he sounds terrible on his social media - although quite a few players fall into that category.

Pryce will be very expensive and he’s still very young. Looks dynamite going forward already but can he defend?

Both would be in the conversation you would imagine when the time comes. We really could do with a settled HB combination.

That's why I'd be inclined to try and keep Austin if he does a good job. Agree that Trueman does sound like a bit of a melon on social media. If I ran a club I'd forbid anybody from posting. Then again if I ran a club we'd probably in the conference.

Do you think he would be cheap Chapy? Lad looks a star to me. Hudds wouldnt let him go cheaply.

Wouldn`t have thought he would be cheap mate.
But depends if Huddersfield want the cash or the players that we might be able to trade with.
He will probably end up in the NRL or Warrington!

I think the sort of stuff Trueman is coming out with on social media would make me very wary of signing him. You really don't want someone who will become one of your most senior players to be an absolute moron. If they are that thick in their public comments then one might conclude they won't have the brains in the critical moments on the field, or the clear-headed discipline to be the sort of leader we want off it. If there are viable alternatives I'd steer clear.
That would certainly be the Sinfield approach although if I had to guess I'd say Hetherington might be a bit more lenient.

What`s he been saying Ghost?

If Pryce really does fulfill his potential how long will he satisfied with the mediocrity of the Giants playing in front of one man and his cow bell.

Pryce looks a talented kid but hes still young and establishing himself in Hudds 1st team. As Seth says, IF, Pryce reaches his potential then he will have suitors everywhere.

Given Huddersfields large investment on training facilities he will have every opportunity to reach his potential once its all completed.

Been saying that testing healthy players constantly is a joke and ruining the comp. Think he’s just voicing what a lot of people within the game are thinking……
Not said anything that would make me not want to sign him.

I know what you are saying here but he has to be better than that in his job. He should be more professional with his social media. He's also wrong with what he is saying btw.

RL players' social media is embarrassing a lot of the time, I wouldn't be surprised if it puts a lot of sponsors and potential investors off investing in the game.
