Quote inside_man="inside_man"To be fair though Eastmond and Pryce have been practically non existant this year. Pryce now being fit obviously improves them but Gaskell + Lomax haven't exactly been poor. They've already signed a halfback for next year (despite him being an average fullback) so you would assume it'd be Hohaia + Lomax in the halves with Gaskell as backup. Should leave them with a bit of cap space.'"
Pryce surprised me in the semi with how effective he was, though it could be argued that was after Wigan had taken their foot off the gas.
He's 30 of course, which may indicate that his best days are behind him, though Hohaia will be 33 when his deal with Saints expires, so whether or not age is a problem depends on what kind of spin you seek to put on the story.
In retrospect though, I think you're right - Graham will be the main loss.
I think most people have now forgotten about Eastmond, even though - laughably - some newspapers tried to make a big deal out of his absence from the semi.
