Leon Pryce has been there and done that in rugby league, so when he talks you listen.
The former St Helens and Hull FC halfbacke won it all; from the Challenge Cup to the Grand Final, the former Bradford, St Helens, Hull FC and Catalans Dragons star scooped up both individual and team accolades galore.
The 40-year-old won a grand total of six Challenge Cups, six League Leaders’ Shields, three World Club Challenges and four Super League titles in a 19-year spell in the game.
Let’s face it, Pryce certainly knows his stuff.
So, when the halfback-turned-pundit revealed his dark horse on Premier Sports last night, there may have been a few eyebrows raised.
When asked if the York City Knights were dark horses by new host Emma Jones, Pryce replied: “They are ark horses, the players they’ve signed, the coaches they’ve got they should definitely be up there..
“They are investing heavily in trying to get to Super League – you can’t look past the likes of Jamie Ellis and Masi Matongo.”
York and Featherstone started their Championship seasons last Monday night with Rovers eventually overcoming the Knights 30-12.
