McNamara/Pryce : Sat Mar 19, 2022 5:30 pm  

Have been highly critical of Ben McNamara as a half back but i thought he had his best game for the club at Leeds and offered a bit more of a running game which has been missing from his general play previously.
Its a pity that it seems Will Pryce will play full back tomorrow as it would have been interesting to see the contrast in style of these two young players at half back especially the running game and blistering pace of Pryce

Lolohea will play full back probably.

Russell and Pryce will be the halves

Pryce is arguably the hottest prospect in Super League, so yeah, let's set up a comparison designed to undermine a young Hull player. Nice one.

Just what I thought.

It's not as if he hasn't been telling us for a year or more that Macca won't make the grade.

FWIW I think McNamara is progressing pretty well.

Some people want him to be like Pryce, Dodd or even Lewis catching the headlines.

Hes only 20. I think most NRL halfbacks aren't usually deemed ready until 23/24

He’s highly critical of the club in general and most who pull on the jersey. At least we knew Bumpy was a fan.

What spoils this forum is the cliques and petty arguments that arise. People are entitled to express an opinion, even it is negative and contrary to yours, the patterns of replies and arguments on here would not be tolerated in the workspace, some of it is almost a default reaction. Pathetic , absolutely infantile. Get over yourselves and we may be able to enjoy this forum again without trawling through arguments, equally childish counter arguments and reposting.

This hype over pryce is a bit silly tbh. Most people have just seen a few choice clips where he’s used some excellent footwork, and then the media have hyped him up and all of a sudden he’s England material. It’s really unfair on him to put this pressure on him they have. I think you are going to be a bit disappointed if you are expecting to see a master class. The last few games he’s played he’s been solid, with the odd flash of what he may be capable off as his experience grows. Nowhere near the finished article.

I know not many agree with Bonaire and there’s many times I’ve not agreed the posts but I don’t feel the need to constantly pick or try to ridicule anyone. We are all I assume adults but the forum is becoming more like a kids squabble.
I don’t see the issue with the post myself as think it’s a valid point as they are two very different types of HB and I agree that against Leeds McNamara had probably his best game for us and seems to be improving under the guidance of Gale.
We will never all agree but it gets tedious reading the forum full of back biting instead of general chat and opinions on the club we all love.

Fingers crossed he has a quiet game.

I remember when he stepped through us away at Hudds last year, it was the start of our decline for 2021. But couldn't help notice his running style is so similar to Leon's.
