About the samer percentage as Ainscough's were handed on a plate to him!!!!!

Or Darryl Gouldings

He is a work in progress i think most sensible posters accept that, to say he is a failure or a success at this stage would be very niave and a bit stupid in truth.

Its funny how other clubs can get away with signing projects but Wigan get slammed for it.

That sums it up well. I certainly would like to see him have an extended run in the side at some stage but if there are no injuries its difficult to forsee when that might happen - even if you look to 2010.

You are spot on! If I was to guess, possibly Carmont's replacement in the very near future.

If he does not step up to the plate next year and prove he is worthy of replacing Carmont, then he should and i think will be released. I am sure he is aware of this fact as well.

Despite the trolls, his Wigan career is still well within his hands and righfully so.

And he then Bombed them!!!!!

I think a lot of people are frustrated with the fact his strike rate could (maybe even should) be a lot higher.

If he had a bit of fire in his belly he would be one hell of a player, bouncing players all over the place, making breaks for fun, a nightmare to handle in the opposition's 20 and scoring at will.

Unfortunately he doesn't have that in him but thats what people expect of him

Pryce lacks one vital ingredient to make it at the top level - heart, backbone, bollox, whatever you want to call it.

He didn't have it at Bradford and nothing I've seen so far at Wigan suggests he's moved on from there.

It's great scoring a million tries in the reserves, but the step-up to first team is huge, the players aren't 20 and under, the hits are bigger and he needs to use his physical attributes more.

Exactly pal.

With the injuries we now have Pryce may well get the run in the first team we feel he needs.
No Smith and Gleeson back may well have Sam at 7 and Gleeson 6 with Tommy going to 9 with Piggy off the bench.
That would leave the centre for Pryce.
Noble said after the match that Pryce started off very well and had a good first half. He felt he tired quickly in the 2nd.
Maybe Noble was going to bring him off at the last 20 but with injuries he couldn't.
I thought he played well and deserves another run out. He could figure regularly if the injuries continue to mount.

Me and thousands of other fans. I'm not one to blindly jump on bandwagons but you've got to admit he hardly looks interested at all. How can anyone improve at anything without putting in hard work? God knows what he's like in training when he doesn't have everyone on his back to do some work. I'm not saying he doesn't have the talent or that he's fighting fit, but he just doesn't look bothered. I wish I could put Ainscough's heart in that body.

As for the name calling, don't lump me in with the clowns in the stands who look for someone to blame every week, because they irritate me on match day too.

The answer to that is very simple. The person who judges him on his appearances in the first team, where it counts, not playing against junior players in the reserves which I am sure your "How many times have you seen Karl Pryce play this season ." is based on.

In other words you claiming some profound incite into the ultimate value of players based on how well they go in the reserves is nonsense.

I have no axe to grind v KP on Friday but I do think your "I know best because I watch the reserves" opinion is worthless.

Pryce might come good yet? as for name calling from AJ I would just ignore as both AJ and his side kick RHJ are well known for it.
