| Pryce has certainly moved ahead of Goulding in recent weeks. 8 tries in his last four games speaks for itself and as others have pointed out he's only let one try in!
Both Goulding and Pryce should be offered new deals IMO although I'd hesitate to offer them more than 2 years at a time.
The strength in depth they give us has been a massive plus point and both are still talented youngsters with the majority of thier careers in front of them.

| Pryce is at the moment, our form back.
I think his arrival in the first team, will sadly, see Phelps gone at the end of the year.

| When needed Pryce has played to his size.
At Hudds they had an overlap on his wing and zipped the pass out to Cudjoe, Pryce turned round and sort of bearhugged him in the tackle and steered the Hudds man into touch. Not sure too many would have forced Cudjoe into touch as easily as Pryce did, their Leroy is not a small man either.
Yesterday Gareth Thomas thought he had Pryce too far inside and went to take him on the outside, next thing it's not Thomas taking Pryce on the outside but Pryce & Carmont who were taking the Welshman towards touch. OK he squirmed free and hit the ground for a completed tackle. Thing was GT ended up going where he didn't want to due in no small measure to Pryce's strength.
It was mentioned previously that he could well play wing with Pat on the other side when Amos returns. Can you imagine the size, speed and overall power those two wingmen will bring to the team?

Yeah i think the writing is on the wall now unless he can really pick up his form
He should get another contract elsewhere no problem, maybe hudds will make a move?

It has the potential to be the best back 3 by a country mile, still Pryce is a big IF for me, having 3 decent games does not make you a worldbeater

| Karl Pryce could well turn into our signing of the season - he has come on to the scene under Madge, scoring tries and generally looks alot fitter and interested.

| The next improvement out of him I'd like to see would be the ability to breaks a few tackles, for such a big guy running on to good ball he should begin to dominate his opposition winger. He really is progressing each and every week, against Celtic he was involved a lot more, coming in and taking the ball up much more than in previous games.
Gradual improvement is all we and the coaching staff can ask.

| He's looking more like the player he was at Bradford before he went to yawnion. He was nigh on unplayable back then. He does need to carry the ball with more aggression though. He's built like a prop forward so he should really run like one and make yards like one

| The expectations of Pryce are greater than any other back because of his size. People expect so much from him. After having his confidence shattered by Brian Noble it's pleasing to see him get four tries against his side - walk ins or no walk ins. It's a gradual process, but Pryce is looking much better. He deserves to keep his spot. How can you deny him a place?
The one little thing that has brought a smile to my face is Karl celebrating his tries now. Before he just had a blank expression on his face and didn't look like he was enjoying his rugby. Now he looks far more enthusiastic and seems to be enjoying his rugby. Always good to see.
Keep it up Karl.

| He's improving with his extra game time.
He's played 4 full 80 mins games in four weeks and with very little signs of injury. That's one of the most pleasing aspects IMO as we've seen his injury record in the past.

| One of the great things about when we have Pryce playing is its like having a barricade down one side of the pitch Nobody is stupid enough to take him on!

| Give Goulding a machine gun, and most teams would still prefer to head that way.

| Pryce was always going to be a "long term project". That injury, and poor diagnosis /treatment of it set him back. His confidence was dented although it now looks as though he is starting to enjoy his rugby again.
IF he carries on progressing as he is doing, then he is well worth at least another two year contract, as he is still only 23 years of age. He has more ability than most Superleage centre/ wingers.

| He's done well - let's see how he gets on against a top side next week, you can be sure Leeds will target him.

He's only played three games! Is this similar to Phelps tremendous start to the season which lasted about three games against some poor opposition?
I think people need to calm down a bit and lets see how he goes over quite a few more games before proclaiming he is potentially the best winger in the league or whatever.
He is certainly playing better than he was and as I said previously the fact some tries were walk-ins is no reason to have a pop but as Jonh mentioned certain other wingers at this club would kill for this kind of publicity having scored the walk-ins. I am not quite sure why Pryce deserves the special treatment given his previous first team appearances and the fact those who watch the junior sides have often said he has not stood out playing at that level.

He's played four, scoring eight tries, but just as important only conceded one.
