Mark signed with Gloucester in July 10th 2008. [urlhttp://www.glasgowwarriors.com/articles/news/005158.php[/url
Karl Pryce signed with us 18th December 2007. [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/News_full.asp?newsid=3486[/url
So you are right and we can put that one to bed. |

he was not the conditioner at glouscester he was overseeing sports science. The guy that had direct contact with the team was a very arrogant annoying little kiwi who hated all things rugby league.
Had a few chats with him regards Pryce and all he did was slate him even prior to taking a session with him. He was the bloke responsible for mistreating Pryce not our new man.

| Quote ="thepriestman85"Seems like the guy has all the experience we’ve been asking for. He’s certainly worked with some top RU teams and gained valuable knowledge in football and the NFL. I wonder if he was at Bolton when big Sam was there as Sam was known for experimenting with new fitness regimes and thinking outside of the box.
The only SLIGHT reservation I have on the guy is his time at Gloucester who imo are major underachievers (prob not his fault btw) and a club I’ve always associated with the miss handling of Pryce’s foot injury. I know Pryce IL & Noble have all gone on record questioning the professional advice that was given to Pryce after his injury and blamed a lot of the setbacks on that poor advice as well.'"
Remember that, but wasn't it the medical advice that was questioned by Wigan? It wasn't necessarily anything to do with the strength and fitness guys. |

On a side note if this is anything to go by (dismiss the toff comments btw) it’s a mixed bag of opinions from the Gloucester fans;
[urlhttp://www.gloucesterrugby.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1&submit=Go[/url'"
Gloucester are in the sh/t anyway so I'm not surprised by there reaction if I were in there position I'd be looking for a scape goat to.
Either way he's with us now and I'm confident that McGuire and the rest of the team will have done there homework and got the right man, everything is lead by the man at the top which in are case is McGuire and with his background I don't think we'll have picked a dud. |

Your right and the new guy wasn't there at the time either.
I got my dates wrong and i've taken my only reservation out of my original post 2. |

I'd like him to tone up but lose some of that excess weight he's got on him as well.
His mobility is being hampered by the excess weight imo and if he could start to look like he did when he first came over here I really think we’d have one of the top four props in the league. |

That's a physical impossibility, but it looks good for the newspaper, or excited fans thinking it will be what happens to Feka  .
He seems like a good acquisition. |

The proof will be in the pudding/s or Pryce, Feka and Riddell as they're known.
If he gets them in tip top shape for the start of 2010 season he'll be hailed as a genius and rightfully so.

All we'd need after that would be a couple of extra players - maybe one marquee signing and a good, solid Mr Reliable. Unlikely, I know, given what IL has said about our position at present, but if we were able to do that I'd really fancy us for a tilt at next season's title. |

Cheers for the well wishes, touch wood they dont think it is his liver but he has to stay in for obs and more tests tomorrow, so i have done the decent thing and let the wife stay over in the hospital....i really am all heart.
I have to say that i think it is a great appointment has a great rep and has a fantastic level of knowledge clearly.
He also has a rep for researching and cutting edge techniques so hopefully we will be on a front foot on all levels.
I genuinely think this appointment completes a fantastic turn around for our backroom staff which i feel will transfer us from nearly men to real silverware contenders.
The prospect of Forshaw remaining does not thrill me but i have to say i think he was brought to the club not just as a conditioner but as a technical coach as well so perhaps this appointment will see him learn new conditioning techniques that will help him in the future and be an extra body to help coaching as he was a very good technical player.
