Pryce has got a long way to go before he is anything like the finished article. He needs to understand that he doesn't have to beat 5 men and score everytime he gets the ball, there were a couple of times last night when he had beaten a couple and if he had then got rid of the ball we could have been in a great position, but he just kept stepping and inevitably got tackled. As you say his defence is very ordinary atm, not too sure why the NRL are so interested to be honest, as inability to defend means you will never get a game over there.

He is still a teenager, his defence will improve with experience, and coaching.

Every top team will have the odd blip throughout the year. Cas were running red hot tonight and seemed to want it more.

Interesting to see the stats feel like Will Pryce missed more tackles than he made

The stats tell a very interesting story. Couldn’t make this one as had tickets to a gig- but listened to the first half on the way and we sounded awful bad the first 5 minutes.
Pryce missed 9 tackles. We missed 30 altogether which is poor for us. Our most telling stats were in our pack- Our forwards were shocking. Wilson 3 metres per carry, looks like he only played 16 minutes. greenwood 5, Seb 6, only Yates (just) and Lawrence made over 100 metres. In fact it just goes to show how clueless people are as on the Facebook group someone was moaning about Lawrence who on paper was by far and away our best forward last night making 126 metres, 9 metres a carry, 2nd highest tackler with 31, no misses no errors or penalties- but apparently he’s crap
When your halves are making more metres and than most of your forwards there’s something not right. If that was the actual game plan on that small pitch with our pack it was a s**t one! And clearly it didn’t work.
