Will Pryce uses memories to make sure he is equipped ahead of Australia move
WILL Pryce has gone back in time to help lay out his future in Australia.
For the Huddersfield star has sought out advice from England star Elliott Whitehead about moving Down Under, after his family helped him in the south of France.
While staying focused on the job in hand – helping the Giants into the play-offs – the 20-year-old has been getting tips on moving away at the end of the season.
Pryce, along with Wigan’s Kai Pearce-Paul, will head to NRL side Newcastle Knights and Whitehead, who lived with the Pryces when he joined Catalans 10 years ago, has passed on his wisdom.
He said: “Elliott lived with my family and I when he moved to Catalans.
“He needed the same thing when he was younger. Getting advice off people like him is massive and I appreciate it a lot.
“If I didn’t take the opportunity now, it’s something I’d have probably regretted. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“I’m just getting the ball rolling with regards to moving over. I’ve never left home and lived by myself before but I’m speaking to people at Newcastle to get things moving.

“I’ve spoken to Dom Young, who plays at Newcastle, and I’ll be moving over with Kai, which makes things a little easier.”
Pryce still has work to do as Huddersfield attempt to make up a four-point gap on the top six in four matches, starting at Leigh tonight.
And even though he will be elsewhere, he is determined to help lay foundations for when he has left, adding: “I’ve still got a job to do here but we’ve spoken about the season not going how we wanted it to go.
“We’re playing for each other, that’s the main thing and against Leeds, we set the standard we need for our last four games. We need four wins to make the top six, so it’s about sticking together and building on it as a squad.
“I won’t be here but we need to build. I’ll be watching from afar but I really want them to kick on.”
