Exactly, it's frightening isn't it?

Maybe a new coach would change his attitude - maybe it wouldn't who knows? It annoys me that he has huge potential but for one reason or another doesn't show it much.

I seriously seriously hope I am proved wrong with Pryce.

The one thing the club cannot teach is heart.
Something has definitely been added to the 'Bradford' water these last 24 months or so.

Nail. Head.

Thats the worry.

The only hope for Pryce is that something will kick him into gear. The worry in hoping for that though is that nealry 2 years out through injury if anything made him looks less interested.

A proper waste of a talent.

Trying to compare him to someone from the past and the only player that comes to mind is Simon Haughton. Even then SH had some absolute belting games early in his career after which he just seem to give up.

Kris Rads said in his book that Haughton was such a fantastic natural talent but just didn't care much for playing rugby league.

Your right in that Pryce looks to be cut from the same cloth.

After watching 22-year-old Simon Haughton run through the entire Australian pack to score in a test match at Elland Road (in addition to all the other teams he routinely ran through, including the likes of Saints, Leeds, Canterbury etc), I remember thinking that we possibly had one of the hottest properites and greatest second rowers on Earth.

Less than two years later, he'd viritually disappeared as a professional RL player. Truly one of the game's great mysteries.

He terrorised the Aussies that day at Elland Road(shame the rest of the team didn't).

He wasted his talent and we have one or 2 in this squad that look like they could do the same.

Kris Rads should get into them and tell them all about his mate Simon Haughton.

Or Leneghan hasnt decided how to announce he is staying for 2010.

I think one of one should decide pretty soon

Surely not Wigan's worry?
As long as we have made alternative arrangements.

I agree. If he is in such a position of power at the negotiating table over IFL we really are in trouble.

I do not think this is the case though, i am optimistic BN has known his future lies elsewhere for some time.

It may just be that they don't want to publicly tell the guy he isn't wanted before this campaign has finished. It's no skin of Wigan's nose if they've already got something sorted, and it would spare Noble a bit of embarrassment.

Of course, they won't be able to wait forever for him to announce that he's going somewhere else.

On the other hand, if Noble was staying for another year, I see nothing to be gained whatosever by withholding it.

I think this just about sum's it all up...

Griffin has agreed a new 3 year contract with Huddersfield

Quite surprised at this from what i was told it he was all but signed a couple of months ago for Wigan, his inclusion in the semi team though perhaps was an indication relationships had been improved upon.

Would have liked him with us in 2010 think he could have given us so much needed consistent go forward.

I am now really concerned that we have missed out on another target and starting to think we really will not be making any additions to the frontrow, really hope i am wrong on this.

The way he was celebrating at FT in the semi had me hopeful he'd signed a new deal. He started poorly this season, had a fall out with Browny and got dropped for 'disciplinary reasons' for two weeks but since then has improved consistently. I'm glad we've kept him as it looks like Jacko is off to Cas and we don't want wholesale changes to our pack. We could use one more top prop to replace Jacko though. Seems Korky will be off to Wakey and I don't think Scully is the answer.

The way its going we may be in a bidding war for Scully with you as the options in the frontrow market seem to be very limited now to say the least.

Griffin came across to be our last resort of actually signing anybody for 2010, it is a tad worrying that we have appeared to have missed out on him.

However, I trust IL has other targets or may have already got somebody (or somebodies) lined up.

lets hope IFL has somebody lined up or the season ticket sales for next season will fall massively!

To be honest, I doubt that.

They may take a hit if we fail to do anything in the play-offs and if Noble is still in charge next year, but I doubt that masses of fans are waiting to see if we sign a star before they commit. And I'd say it was highly unlikely that anyone at all was waiting on Griffin before they decided (much as I think he'd have done a good job for us).

This is clearly part of a painful re-education we're having to go through about cutting down on signing big names and instead trying to grow our own (which will be essential when the overseas quota finally bites). I'm still hopeful that we'll occasionally pull in a big star, but the emphasis has clearly now shifted away from signing a new bag of players every close season. We fans are just going to have to get used to that.

Another epic fail for Tricky Dicky!
