They did and he couldn't catch it.

I agree he does go down too easily though.

He went ok for me too.
Two of the "chances" he missed the passes were behind him. One hit him on the back of the head.
He's a real handful and had three men tackling him all night.
A good player to have in the squad and worth his place IMO.
Noble said he looked good in the 1st half but tired in the 2nd. BN put it down to not playing at that pace on a regualr basis and will get better the more game time he has.

The balls he dropped were shocking passes intended as face balls to the wing when the play was not needed.

I haven't watched it on sky so, so I was caught in the emotion of the game to notice everything but the guy is a monster and like you said father ted... he attracts three players each time therefore gaps are bound to come...

Two weeks is a long time in Rugby... just as well really, or Id be getting out the prozac......

He's another young back player just like Phelps, Tomkins and Ainscough who have a hell of a lot of potential and a hell of a lot more to come from each of them.

I really hope with a new coach the four players I’ve mentioned above can come on leaps and bounds and really set up a good young spine to our team with Tommy L in there also.

Career with Wigan over then. We have been shocking at getting the bigger players to the right level of fitness and weight recently.

Dave

It's been a big problem hasn't it.

We need somebody to give a couple of the players a kick up the ar*e on the fitness front. They're good players the likes of Feka and Riddell imo but they need to work on their fitness.

It's another issue that comes down to attitudes.

I though he did ok, perhaps a little more energy wouldn't go a miss but when he did have the ball he was a handful, he dropped a few balls but that's probably down to not being familiar with the players around him on the field, I think the key word here is work in progress.

For such a big man he doesnt half play like a girl!

He should be swotting players off!

get him in the pack, look at the difference at david kidwell after he moved into the backrow.

My problem with him is he just doesn't look ar$ed. Doesn't come looking for the ball, doesn't look happy when he scores or when we win, quite probably doesn't care what happens as long as his wages get paid. I don't want a player in the team like that, 100% effort should be taken for granted from any super league player, because of the amount of reserves players busting a gut to take their shirts off them.

He isn't going to change thats his style. Ok Gleeson was injured but he has still been playing well for the Reserves so he deserved his place in the team.

I think Pryce will find it hard to win some of the Wigan fans over. Only last week at Hull KR one man was shouting and making a fuss when he was warming up at the start of the game, because he didn't look interested.

Exactly. His face doesnt fit, he will never win some over.

What the hell?

I must of been watching another game because Pryce played much better than i imagined. He looked rusty at times but he did well IMO.

Wow, thats a pretty big opinion to form based on what you think and frankly it makes you look like an idiot.

Pryce is gash and I really cant believe people are trying to defend him. He shows no effort, gets tackled far too easily, cant pass and is slow. He also has no acceleration and the turning circle of a tank. He is that bad that we didnt even want him on loan, and seemingley no one else in SL did either, when he was being touted about. I cant believe you have given him a new contract

Thanks, now run along child.

Pryce is really frustrating.
I was impressed iwth the way he started, but shocked by his lack of fitness.

I wonder whether he might improve, if he was given more to do. Pwersonally I think giving him a spell in the back 3 MIGHT help him, as I feel if he was involved more, it might help him.

I may of course be clutching at straws, but I think if hes out of the game too long, his mind drifts - hence the 2 dropped balls inthe last 20. If he was spelled, and given the ball in every set of 6 when he was on the field. That could be the way forward.

Why for posting valid points?

It is fans like you that give Wigan fans a bad name. You rate him but many others more, and seemingly even a majority of Wigan fans, dont. You are probably one of those that slag off the home grown youngsters in favour of highly paid signings that are quite frankly rubbish. Grow up.

Always the comeback of someone that cant argue with facts. Well done

Here are "the facts"
Karl Pryce has scored 19 tries this season
15 tries from 10 appearances in the reserves
4 tries from 6 appearances in the first team.


Not a bad strike rate, would you agree?

I cant believe you are counting reserve tries and appearences, pathetic







In that Wigan reserve team, against the standard of teams that you play against, any half decent player who is playing at centre should score that amount. You are talking about a player that has made god knows how many Super League appearances and is built like the proverbial brick outhouse playing against mainly teenagers. Often these teenagers arent even any good and many are just making up the numbers and as such the standard in reserve grade is shocking. You really are clutching at straws there mate
