English Super League star Will Pryce on Canberra Raiders’ radar



Canberra has become the first NRL club to reveal an interest in rising English star Will Pryce. Pryce, just 19, plays five-eighth or fullback for Huddersfield Giants. His father Leon is a former Great Britain international. Pryce has two more years remaining on his Huddersfield contract but Canberra would be prepared to pay a transfer fee to secure the young England Knights international. Canberra is planning to take a group of officials and coaches to England on a fact-finding journey during the World Cup to monitor the playing talent.

Apologies, unable to add story but just read online that the Raiders are showing interest in a young Englishman named Will Pryce. Anyone know much about him?

Sam Ayoub has just become his player manager and he Will Pryce himself out of the market.

[Raiders666]

Mr Posh you got any intel?

No, it didn't.

Skillful lad, not a lot of tough NRL defence on display but the guy is 19, only going to get better... not a bad dart to throw. Looks like he's potentially a very good modern day fullback

Looks big and strong with good speed. Mentions he can play 6 in his bio, definitely looks a quality 1 in that video.

[RTW]

He is the son of Leon Pryce, so from very good stock.

I'm all for the signing if the salary is right.

[Raiders666]

How many fullbacks do we need though

I believe TR is referring to BJ's dad joke.

Yeah and my andi-dad joke was that the Pryce needs to be right.

Too subtle

[nachopants]

He looks like he'll be big enough to play lock in a couple of years for mine

[zim]

Maybe a long term 6 dart. Start him off with 3 years in fullback and utility roles then shift into the halves.

[Hong Kong Raider]

Apparently we are interested in Will Pryce from the UK, a fullback and five eighth. Will let Mr Posh and others comment on him.

Right now we have 2 guys vying for the spot... IMO, one hamstrings our team too much with his limited abilities and the other is a young kid who's dynamic and has flashed but is far from a sure thing as a long term option

If we signed Pryce, I don't have to squint very hard to see a future where he's the fullback with Savage and Cotric playing on the wings and CNK at centre

[Love4Noa]

We are an easy target for recruitment talk surrounding English players.

Although, Rapana is likely in his final season. Doubts must be starting about HSS and his ability to avoid injury.

There may be some concern about Timoko or Savage being poached by the Dolphins.

Can never have too many quality outside backs.

I don't think there's anything in this, but we shouldn't hold out hope that Timoko, X, or HSS will be here for another 5 years...

He’s a star apparently, not a superstar but a star..

Reports are that Will Pryce is already homesick for England.

Yawn….

Played about 20 seasons in Super Played every position in the backline, started his career as an outside back. But moved into 5/8 after a few seasons.

I saw Leon in a few Tests (on tv). Was a winger from what I remember.

Not too fussed whether we get this guy over or not. A lot depends on Wighton's season this year though. If Jack goes badly and we need to start rethinking his best position, then bringing over a #6 starts to make sense.

Also allows us to clear out Williams and Frawley and run a better upcoming stock of halves.

If Wighton goes well and Savage does what it seems he can- or if CNK is so good he holds Savage out of #1 then I'm not sure we need this guy- unless he's willing to serve a couple of years behind Jack.

Couple of real gun 2nd gen players in the ESL, Hanley, Pryce, Gannon

If what you’re doing isn’t working then you need to do something different. I don’t know if this kid is any good or not but I also didn’t know how John Bateman would go. Give him a try, if it doesn’t work send him back, if it works great.

Not seen anything in Hanley that would encourage me - although his stock comes from arguably the greatest player to ever play the game - but the other two look like stone-cold superstars.

I've mentioned Pryce on here before - the one thing that really impressed me was him taking control of a game when he was left as the only play maker, and bringing his team home.

Looks to have all the tools and a great attitude.

Leon Pryce was all class, but seemingly lacked a bit of something, mentally. His brother Karl was was even more stark - a physique and skill-set to rival anybody, but shied away from contact - biggest waste of a player I've ever seen.

Anyway, Pryce has the number 1 jersey at Huddersfield this year, which might indicate they see him as a full back, but he's looked very promising in the halves.

Gannon is a beast. It'll be interesting to see how he copes with the step up to playing alongside men, but I can't see anything that suggests he'll struggle.

There are a whole load more second generation players breaking through. Makes me feel old.

[gerg]

Hanley wasn't even the best player at the Tigers. He may have been a superstar in England but he isn't fit to polish big Mal's shoes, or any of the other immortals.

You've got to allow our much loved and cherished english correspondant to take home town liberties, Gerg!

That’s hilariously harsh and quite accurate Gergs. One of your best

If Will Pryce turns out to be better than Jordan Turner I’m all for it.

Add the All Star to the team list of Raiders players I had forgotten about
