We're desperate for pace in the side, no matter where it comes from. We have no one at the moment capable of going the length of the field, or finishing a break from 75 metres even.

Haven't we? My bet is Wheeler possibly could and couldn't Pryce? What about Eastmond? (Assuming he will ever be fit again!)

Wheeler doesn't look like he will cement a place in the team over Pryce is he? Eastmond is a possibility, but there is obviously something wrong with his game or he'd be trusted more by the coaches. Anderson could have used his pace last season, but very rarely involved him.

if fit eastmond has shown the pace to play on the wing, so could be a stopgap until a replacement (my choice is fox) is found for roger

Fox would be a good acquistion.

I wanted us to go for him but then an aussie became available.

He's a centre, playing on the wing as a stopgap.

he is doing ok, but as said before he is a natural centre not winger

Halley better than Fox

Fox is in the top 3 for pace in SL, a natural finisher and makes great yards from deep. We'd be crazy to let him go, at the moment he is irreplacable imo.

For what you'd have to pay for Fox i don't think you'd get alot back. He has some pace and strength but can be caught out in defence and often over runs the ball. In my opinion they're are alot better winger out there for alot less!

We haven't missed him at Wakey. Personally i don't see him improving you as a side.
