Riddell's not going anywhere because of his contract, so thats a non-starter of an argument.

As for Pryce, you don't think his size is an asset? It's almost unique to find a player of his physique, strength and pace who can play in the outside backs and if he can get match sharpness in the first team then he is a weapon that most teams cannot match up against out wide. His performance on Friday was encouraging, there is room for improvement, but his initial lazy attitude demonstrated on earlier appearances wasn't as apparent and I believe he has the potential to be a very good player for Wigan if given time.

They are both young with potential. Keep them both. Gleeson and Carmont will not last forever and clock up plenty of injuries between them, Pryce and Goulding should eventually take over. Then Thornley can pressure them for the first team spot.

spot on, that's what i've been saying.

i personally didn't think he looked uninterested, i thought he was one of the first in for celebrations [for example] as well as whenever he took a drive in sucked in 2 or 3 defenders to take him down, as well as knocking a couple off in the process. For me he did more in that game than Goulding, whom i really just do not rate.

Well done on beating Saints on Friday Darryl.

Seriously I wonder what Wigan fans dislike about Pryce to have such an issue with him, I can only assume its because he is a player Noble brought from Bradford who he dares deem to be better than a "wiganer". god forbid.

still only 22 once he toughens up he's gonna be a monster

I too think Karl Pryce will come good, he certainly has the ability. With regards to Goulding, I would have him back at Wigan. He must have been given the number 3 shirt for a reason.

and when you stop trolling you are going to have to finish your homework.

Don't forget it was Noble who gave him that shirt

Goulding and Pryce as Wigans long term centres; sounds good to me.

I've never said that at all - my opinion is if he's better than a Wiganer then he should play, I'm not bothered where he's from. I just don't think he's got what it takes to play for Wigan, and I think the money spent on him could and should be better spent elsewhere. That's just my opinion.

I like being proved wrong on player's so I hope he does pick up but from what I've seen from him so far he doesn't warrant a shirt, reserves or first team.

The way i see it Goulding has shown enough application to be a top player, but lacks the ability.

I have seen more from Pryce to think he may well be a very good player for our team, than i ever have with Goulding.


Goulding will in my opinion never be a player in a team that is consistently challenging for honours, Pryce just might be, and for that reason we go with Pryce and allow Goulding to make a career at another club rather than hold him back to play a bit part when there is no chance he has a future at a club with our ambitions.

Is Pryce as bad as mathers? ..no really
Ship him our way, we'll turn him into a decent player
We've even made Matt King look good this year

Pryce showed in the WCC he has what it takes.
