Amos in the squad, great news, let Leeds worry about us.

We were offered him, as were other clubs, and we turned him down so no we dont wish that. If we wanted him we'd have took him.

Nice spin there when in fact he turned you down.

Right decision for the guy as well. He's now playing for the top team in the country & is getting ready for a massive game the likes of which Salford players dream of moving to big clubs so they can play in.

Yeah right believe that if it makes you feel better. Do you really think that he would rather play in the u20s against a bunch of teenagers than play in SL. I suppose you believe he turned Cas down too

What a very simple, and completely wrong, use of statistics. Do you realise that just because a try is scored on one side of the pitch it doesnt neccessarily make it that wingers fault? Likewise if few tries are scored on the other side it doesnt necessarily mean it is because of great wing defence. It also completely ignores things like which side is attacked more, the players inside the winger, the opposition players on the particular side etc. In short it proves very little and coaches certainly dont look at it in this way.

I agree there is much more to life than scoring tries but so far in the case of Pryce it doesnt seem that way as his work rate is poor and he doesnt make many yards in attack. His defence hasnt really been tested yet but he was at fault for a try against Huddersfield so he is hardly mistake free in that depatment either.

I am talking about on loan. He was offered to all clubs in SL and not a single club wanted him. I dont really see how getting SL experience is worse than playing against teenagers in a u20s competition. It has hardly done any of your other players any harm that you have sent on loan.

That's actually one of the most sensible posts on here! Goulding has been criticised because tries occur on his side of the field regardless of where, how, or why they are actually scored. Pryce hasn't really been tested defensively.
I'd also guarantee that had Pryce been playing on the right hand side the tries conceded would probably be blamed on him too. Maybe it's just too easy to think that if a try is scored by a winger then it's automatically the opposite wingers fault.

Why has Bluey showed all his cards?

The problem is though Goulding has been badly caught out of position on several occasions of late and that is why he is to be blamed for allowing in tries. It has nothing to do with statistics but much to do with what has/is happening on the pitch.

Its interesting to note that you pick up on the fact teams may not attack down Pryce's side as much as they have Gouldings, I wonder why that is? Surely just a simple coincidence........a coach would never ask his players to attack the weaker side now would he? Thats just crazy!

Great post. I agree totally.

Didnt you know though, when it all comes down for it Goulding will always be better than Pryce because he is from Wigan and Pryce isnt.

In that case Jimmy Hornby must have been better than Stuart Wright and Kevin O'Loughlin better than Billy Boston if you get my drift.

Ainscough better than Roberts ... Oh wait some people actually thought that last year
