None existant other than his try.

Just get rid, he is a waste of cap space. Play a young gun who will actually look bothered. He shows no commitment IMO. Not judging him, he might make it (elsewhere), I would just much rather have an enthusiastic young player playing instead, when we have injuries.

Isnt his contract up end of the year?

They will just let it expire..

I dont think the argument about him taking other peole places is valid though as we have used 30 out of our 32 man aquad so far this year including quite a few debuts, you cant just rip up a contract it will still count on the cap

I actually thought he made decent yards and defended well, collected all that was kicked at him and other than his knock on he did nothing wrong, and scored a good try.

What more does he have to do?

Give over..What is it with us buying duds that previously played for Bradford, i know Hanley and Skerrett are exceptions but the current crop are woeful.

Is there anything untrue about what I said?

I agree. He's never going to wow people by going the length of the field, but if Darrell Goulding can be "outstanding" by being nothing other than solid, why can't Pryce? He did nothing wrong all night apart from one knock on.

He did alright IMO, he didn't lose any yards when he got the ball, didn't let anyone past him, got back to sweep up a couple of kicks and even got over for a try. He still looks a bit slow for a winger and though, and his ball control isn't the best. He was very lucky not to let a try in early on when he dropped the ball. You can tell that he really isn't confident, perhaps he listens to the fans a bit too much. There's a good player in there somewhere, but it would take a lot of work, and I'm not sure this is where he'll do it.

Apart from the lazy play the ball knock on and a general lack of enthuiasm, nothing.

It wasn't a 'lazy play the ball' it was a mistake.

If you want an example of his entusiasm then look at him trying to get out of our own in goal, other plays could have just picked up the ball and wandered over the dead ball line. Pryce at least tried to get out. Everyone else in the entire team has been given another chance under Maguire, except Pryce. Why not?

He did NOTHING WRONG tonight.

Deserves a place on the wing against Widnes at least. Let's see how he does!

The sad thing is that with some people it doesn't matter what he does they will still not give him any credit. He scored 4 tries for the reserves and all some people could say was things like "he only had to fall over the line", "my nan could have scored those tries" and other such rubbish.

It beggars belief that some people would rather have a player be a complete failure just as long as they aren't shown to have been wrong but that sadly appears to be the case. He is in a Wigan shirt and that is enough for me to give him my support.

All some people like myself are asking is that he is given the opportunity to show what he can do without the sort of treatment he has been given. If he doesn't cut it then so be it but some would still rather criticise him as soon as he steps onto the pitch rather than watch his performance with an open mind and will subsequently ignore anything positive that he does while heartily criticising any errors however slight or inconsequential.

Sorry mate, he isnt and will never be a great RL player, i hope his injuries clear up and that he can make a living for himself from RL but i doubt it will be at Wigan.

Not too sure he deserves to stay in the team, depends on injuries I guess. What were people's views on Marsh (there's probably a thread on him but I can't see it) I thought he did pretty well, could do with putting a bit of muscle on though as he was hanging off players sometimes when tackling, he seemed to grow in confidence as the match went on.

Start one then before i do

I thought Marsh looked very good and will certainly be one for the future.

At which point did I say he was a great RL player?

He must have some compromising photos of Michael Maguire.

Ainscough at Widnes and he gets a game?

PS. Ainscough is still joint top scorer at Cas.

You didnt but i would have hoped that he could have made his mark now.

I thought he was solid if unspectacular today.

He got put into space once and scored from it. He also looked enthusiastic to take the ball up when we were under our sticks and made decent yards in the process to.

Obviously he made the TWO mistakes off their kicks but he also did some good things in that dept as well.

The people who think he was rubbish need to get a grip. He was far from rubbish or unenthusiastic like someone else pointed out as well.

He defiantly however did enough to keep his place against Widnes and I hope he can build on today and get better each week.

How people can defend him is beyond me, he doesn't look bothered at all.

he didnt look happy when he scored a try, does this guy ever crack a smile?

I doubt he could crack an egg.

Give him a fúcking break some comments on here are embarrassing. Your acting like he's made massive errors that have lost us the game. He didnt have a bad game. He had a better game than Ainscough did last week but of course Ainscough is from Wigan and Pryce is not so therefore Ainscough is better than Pryce.

I'm basing my argument on the fact that he is playing for the first time under a new coach, so I'm giving him a clean slate, the same as every other player. Then I'm looking at his performance today, he made one knock on, and nearly made one mistake from a kick early on. Other than that he did nothing wrong.

Your basing your criticism on how he looks, by that logic, Ryan Atkins is the worst signing ever, I mean, look at his hair!

*Edit*

Just read the Marsh thread. You posted;



So, you loved how Marsh bombed a certain try (at a crutial point in the game) by not simply drawing his man and giving it, instead he got white line fever and went himeself, getting pushed easily into touch yet you hated Pryce because he knocked on.

Marsh made a couple of errors in defense, Pryce made none, Marsh you loved, Pryce you hated.

Marsh had a good debut, but it'd be nice if you compared players by the same standards.

What does it matter what he looks like?

I'd rather look at the things he did today.

He was always there to take first drives up on our line (something he’s never done before), he defended well, ran the ball hard and took his chance to score when it was given to him.

He certainly wasn’t my MOM nor was he rubbish either.

His so called ‘mistakes’ weren’t that bad either;

The first fumble he managed to regain the ball and not get shoved back behind his line even tho he’d lost all momentum there. Actually thinking about it, it was quite a good recovery there by him

His 2nd dodgy moment for his knock on could have been given the other way for interference imo. Again the fact he made the mistake was down to him wanting to get us a quick PTB which is strange for someone who isn’t bothered about the team isn’t it? Also this mistake came off the back of a strong run which is again something he doesn’t do.

His third moment was his only real mistake of the game for me. He defiantly made a hash when he went down for the ball but luckily nothing came of it and certainly not a massive mistake.

So what exactly did he do wrong apart from failing to smile at the camera?

Shaun is twice the player lazy bones will ever be.
