If Pryce doesn't cure AIDS within the next 10 minutes he should be sacked.

Dave, i'm making it about as personal as dissecting what somebody has posted line by line and questioning a poster's knowledge level (which comes across rightly or wrongly as a really sly dig) rather than just having your say. Being called out is when you make statements about something or somebody, and say things like 'I can't actually believe you think he is that good given you profess to be (I believe) a student of the game', that somebody may call your statements and opinion into question. And then you feel that you're being attacked?????

A player's worth and performance can only really be assessed by our coaching staff, though i am prepared to entertain that MM maybe wrong across the board in his selection policy (rather than some odd premise that he's just blind over Karl Pryce) - that however is a totally separate debate.

Maybe Pryce and Goulding are not being selected on who is better than whom.
Perhaps they are being picked because MM wants to have a good look at Pryce over quite a few number of games.
MM may have decided that if Pat goes to fb then Pryce comes in on the left.
Should Amos go to 1 then Goulding will come in on the right.
It could perhaps be that either are being selected on where Pat and Amos play and that the coaching staff prefer Pryce left wing and Goulding right.
I just think the way the team have been selected we won't see Goulding play left wing nor Pryce on the right side.
Whether we like it or not I do feel that the selction of either Goulding or Pryce depends on where MM picks Pat and Amos rather than the merits of the two lads.

Just watched the game on the TV for the first time and still have absolutely no idea why Pryce gets criticised in this game.

The cretins in the east stand sat near me must be on crack.. I was doubting my sobriety after their constant moaning, but they've got to be higher than the bloody moon!

So darrell Goulding averages an extra 0.5 metres per carry than Karl Pryce? People still think Pryce makes good metres? So Karl Pryce cant even match Gouldings meters and he is a LOT bigger, that just sums up what lets him down imo.

Now that seems to me to be a lot more of a valid arguement than many on here..sad that most will ignore it in favour of their own like/dislike and stuff the facts.

Pryce has done ok - not a lot more than that as yet - he certainly hasn't really stood out compared to others (and that surely is a better comparison) like Goulding. But given how long he has spent out with injury at least he deserves the chance. The coaching staff will manage things - and if they think he isn't performing well enough then he will be dropped - and that for me is about as fair as it needs to be.

In the week after a game Madge has one on one talk with every player in the team to discuss their performance.

The conclusion of that is Madge must be happy with Pryces performance in the role he has been given. We all know that if a player does not perform to Maguires requirements they are dropped.

It's as simple as that. Just because we as spectators like/dislike a player means and should mean nothing, it's the coaches responsibility too pick the team HE thinks is best.

As I've said so many times about the likes of Fielden, Roberts and Riddell, the Wigan fans for some reason have to have a scapegoat, and I really can't understand it.

It's nothing new though, it's happened in all the time I have watched Wigan.

I would love to sit in on the one between him and Feka.

I don't think that one lasts very long.

To join his brother at Saints ?
