Not having a great "rugby brain", I must defer to most of the comments made here. I would, however, like to make some observations as a former winger.
BN came to Wigan to save us from relegation, not to play "exciting" rugby. To do this he implemented a policy of tight play using, primarily, the pack. In attack, the ball was passed slowly along the line and across the field. This was demonstrated by investing is Stu. Fielden, one of the world's best forwards. The price we paid was that the outside men had no space in which to move. The system worked, we were saved from the drop. Howver, our whole plan was "forward" dominated. I said at the time that even Offiah would struggle to score in this team. Poor Calderwood has been slated here, but I remember some of the match-saving defending he did. Not what he was brought in for, but all he was able to give in the circumstances he was in.
Now we have a coach who wasn't a front row forward, the relegation threat is no longer and he can see the opportunity to use our backs. The team can play more adventurously, and Amos is no longer squeezed into a foot of space between him and the touchline. He has options to attack either side and is,
making best use of them.
One thing has been explained to me too, if he was carrying an injury last year, I understand why I thought then he wasn't fast enough to be a good winger.

I think the logical call for next week would be to play Pryce on that right side with Roberts at fullback. He's a big lad that can hopefully deal with the ariel threat of Matt King and the guy needs a chance to show what he can do before it's too late. Hopefully if he does play we can all just have a good few weeks look at him and then people can make 'proper' judgments on his abilities either way.

The exciting call would be to bring Ainscough back in but that would have to be on the left wing imo with Richards playing at fullback. Like I say the exciting call but I want a win and aren't overly fussed on it being exciting.

Good call imo, I also think it would do him good being outside an inform Gleeson who's not only been great defensively but hopefully will be wanting a big game against his former club.

Gleeson will have a big role to play and will need to act as a leader and mentor for Pryce over the coming weeks(if thats the call). Pryce probably couldn't find himself outside a better centre really at the minute because Gleeson looks sharp and hungry in attack to add to his fantastic defence from last year.

I'd love to see Pryce come out on Saturday night and really throw himself into it. Get himself in at dummy half and take some runs out of his own half. Abit of hard work will soon change peoples opinions(including mine tbh) on him.

I hope the coaching staff and players are working Pryce up this week and really getting accross to him that this is his big chance.

I agree mate, it's a good chance for him if that's what the coaches feel best. Whilst I think he can make it as a centre in the long term, I think he needs a solid run in a position that's not quite as key and being on the wing outside a good centre would be ideal.

Said in pre season that Pryce imo has to settle in on the wing before he moves to centre. I'd never throw himself straight in at centre because he just looks very rusty which is totally understandable.

Even if he has a nightmare against King on Saturday he still should be selected for the Catalans game and the ones after that. The time has finally come for us to make the judgement on him.
