His words:
After playing rugby since A young boy I'm finally done . I wished to have 1 more year at Bradford but I just couldn't do it, playing with injections in my knee every game was not doing me any favours. I've tried my best but when your own fans start booing you it's time to call it a day.

Very sad way for him to go out.

One of the best we've had. Hope he's being looked after, retirement for sportspeople can hit hard.

Up there with the best in terms of his achievements in the sport.
Hope he still comes over to Blackpool, its meant to be warmer than Bondi this weekend;)

No longer Bradford

Re: Leon Pryce : Thu May 25, 2017 2:47 pm  
Correct decision from him. Better to bow out now than be remembered for going too long when you physically couldn't do it.

Re: Leon Pryce : Thu May 25, 2017 2:55 pm  
One of the best young lads to come out of the Bradford system. Has achieved so much in the sport at the top level and even beat the Aussies in their own back yard. From the 'knock on' in the 1999 Grand Final to the juggle, regather, try in the 2005 Grand Final you have given us many good memories!!

Would have been a fantastic signing this season playing with the team Rohan Smith assembled. With his desire to win at all costs and leadership.

It is down to the work he put in through the off season which kept a group of lads together to play for the Bulls and for keeping our club alive he has my utmost respect however with the decimation of the club and squad unfortunately Leon's body language (stood on his own) and attitude have been more hindrance than help in recent weeks and I am saddened that a great of the game has retired but I am also glad he has chosen the right time. Cheers for the memories. And good luck in whatever you chose to do next. Hope to see you as a coach one day!

Leon! Leon! Leon!

Agreed. He started out brilliantly IMO exactly what we had been missing. But as the team was getting steam rolled, his body just wasnt up to it. As you said, the team would have been literally nothing if it wasn't for Leon IMO. Hope we can keep him on the coaching staff.

Think its right time for him to go. Heart was willing but body clearly was struggling. Also explains why Chisholm didn't mention him when he was talking about leaders in today's t&a article.Hopefully this frees up some funds for some extra bodies too.

Amazing career, was proving his worth when our forwards were getting on top in games at start of the season. Shame it has come to the end like this but it takes nothing away from a superb trophy laden career. All the best on the next chapter Leon, hopefully you will stay in the game
