It says a great deal about him, as does the fact that a lot of the lads really like him, even though he's portrayed by a group of fans as 'lazy' etc........

Funny that the only official word Pryce has signed a new deal is buried in the squad number announcement.......



Whereas other players signing new deals get their own club statement, lets take for example the other player who signed a new deal last week...........



You'd almost think the club were embarrassed by it.

That's how it reads to me.

Goulding extends contract by a year:


Carmont extends contract by a year:


Deacon extends contract by a year:


Pryce extends contract by a year:

Perhaps they did it this way to avoid Muppets slamming the decision and kicking up a fuss........just a thought.

here here!

Not a very good one by you or them then.

Everyone knows he's signed, not putting a proper statement out isn't going to stop the arguments either way. Neither does it send out a particularly good message to Pryce either.

atleast the bbc did one, they actually got his picture right aswell, unlike when they released the story about worrincy, which when i tweeted him he didnt seem to happy about lol!

But the rest are all first team players. Pryce is a squad player.

Pryce is a member of the first team squad, just like the others I mentioned, and played in the team this year.

Can't believe we've re-signed him. I'd prefer we gave one of the many academy youngsters a chance ahead of Pryce. I expect another year of underwhelming performances and heated debate.

He was lucky to being playing outside experienced centres in Carmont and Gleeson otherwise I fear he would have been exposed defensively many times - and he certainly wouldn't have scored as many tries.

In three years he hasn't broken tackles, scored long distance efforts, run the ball back aggressively or made breaks to put other players through. If not that; then what are wingers supposed to do? He's not very quick for a winger and he doesn't use his physicality. His contribution to the team is to score tries that any of the academy prospects would have scored.

He's had three years, been plagued with injuries and has hardly been a game breaker when he has played. Considering how other players have not been retained; it is puzzling that Pryce has - and given IL's comments about Pryce being "the most talented rugby players I've ever seen" it's easy to see why people think that this signing is more about the chairman and less about the coach - especially considering the coach's work ethic and how disinterested Pryce looks when he plays. The idea of keeping so injury prone a player as "cover" is also highly dubious.

He's here for another year now - so I will support him as I do all the Wigan team; however I will still be filled with dread whenever he has to make a one-on-one tackle and filled with resignation when he is faced with a one-on-one in attack.
