Pryce position swap option hasn't been ruled out

JOHN Cartwright has branded new Hull FC recruit Will Pryce a “class talent” and hasn't ruled out the 22-year-old playing in the full-back position at Warrington Wolves this Saturday evening.

Arriving from Australia last Wednesday, Pryce debuted alongside Aidan Sezer in the halves against Hull KR last Saturday, but given injuries and team manoeuvring elsewhere, he could line up at the back when Hull take on the Wire at the Halliwell Jones Stadium - a role he has played before while at Huddersfield Giants.

Still to finalise his side on Friday, Cartwright sees Pryce as a six or one, and while there is a desire to get continuity into selections and build combinations, the head coach's final call is set to be based on what is best for the team.

Impressing Cartwright last week, Pryce had just the captain's run under his belt before debuting in front of 20,229 people, but now with a couple of training sessions to go with, the player, signed on a three-and-a-half-year deal, is backed to hit the ground running after giving, in the head coach's view, a positive account in his first Airlie.
