Massive loss but it may also force a rethink of our team and bench rotation. Need to cover his minutes and output somehow. That may mean more impactful minutes from some of our bench players. Maybe?
Yes that's about all we can do. With Fish arriving and young blokes developing I see no reason to panic and every reason to plant our feet and get ready for another shot next year.
 
Price or AFB as the best prop to ever play for the Warriors?

So hard to separate

Price was a leader, made HUGE metres at a time that you had to create the roll on (it seems a lot easier these days with the speed of the game), surprisingly quick on his feet, and his pressure on the kickers was awesome.

AFB very dynamic footwork, strong, durable, huge motor, great defence, ultra-consistent, best prop in the modern game.

Price by a whisker for me due to the tougher environment (he played in cauldrons that don't exist anymore) and leadership, though I could easily be convinced to flip due to AFB's motor and fitness.

Both the starting props in the All time XIII though.
