NRL import Will Pryce considered quitting amid fears he was not good enough but is now targeting England glory.
The 21-year-old faces Canberra this weekend after his long-awaited Newcastle Knights debut in a thrilling win over Parramatta.
Dazzling stand-off Pryce joined from Huddersfield in the off-season but had to wait seven months for his chance.
And he made the most of it, with a try-scoring bow against the Eels on Saturday. Pryce admitted: "It was one of the best nights of my life.
I've only just come down to earth from Cloud Nine about how good of a week and night it was.
"To have my family there and get the win, it was massive, everything I dreamt off."
