wow, i dont give a flying if there from wigan or not i just want the best for my team, and if that involves getting rid of him then get rid, i want him to show some bottle and take the ball up like he wants to brake the line, well done if he scored 20 in 15, but thats the reserves not first team, it showed with goulding that he could score all day long in the reserves but first team is a little bit different, the sooner we get rid the better, he brings nothing to the team and i hope this so called new regime can change him, very doubt that to be honest

And he got 3 in 5 starts and 2 subs for the first team, including in his debut at Cas when we were trailing 16-6 at half time. Like a few other players, he's become a target where the stuff he does right gets overlooked, and every mistake he makes gets vilified, it's bloody embarrassing.

whats he done right, scored 3 in 5 so what, they where walk ins. seem you missed the poin of him having no bottle and not finnishing a game coz ge got a little knock

when he played, where I thought he looked a threat everytime with ball in hand and was one of our more dangerous players.

must of missed that game, only missed 2 all season like but just must of been to blinkerd to see him, il have to agree because all the other wigan fans on here think hes a star, so why dont we call mathers back and say here have ago under our new regime, thats really what your sayin isnt it, saying that mathers is and was a good player

What Pryce has over most other players is potential, his ability at Academy level was freakish and so it was for Bradford at first grade level.

A GB call up and a big money union move proves the lad can play as does over a try a start as a 19 year old.

In the present there are issues and problems, but his future is in his hands.

In my opinion Goulding will never be able to command a starting place in a SL winning team, Pryce could do and for that reason should be given a chance.

He is also in my opinion our first reserve centre, and any news of injury is a bad one.

Hope he comes back and makes a few people eat there words although this setback if true is a big one at this stage of the pre season, but we should now be entering the time of year when the emphasis shifts from Stamina (one of his weakness') to strenght and power (his undoubted strength), he should be able to maintain significant levels of fitness with an upper body injury, so while it is bad news it could be much worse.

Personally i still back him to come good, and very much hope he does take a starting shirt in 2011.

hes ing , hes go no bottle and hes the biggest waste of time we ever had a topic on here says worst team of the decade he should defoo be in it

There is no doubting his potential ability and if we ever get him firing on all cylinders he will be a star player for us, but from what Ive seen he doesn't have the drive and passion to play for us. I hope the new coaching set up can get the best out of him.

well IL thinks he has the makings so we will see

Getting rid of Pryce now, if such a thing was even possible, would serve no purpose whatsoever. It would weaken the squad at a time when the competition for places is supposedly paying big dividends.

A kneejerk reaction like this - to something as innocent as a freak injury - is the one thing Wigan don't need.

The problem is Cruncher, it's been decided that Pryce is not only a poor player but a worthless peace of crap or words to that effect, all from 5 starts and 2 subs in the first team, during which he played 2 positions on our weakest attacking side, still scored 3 tries that must have been walk ins (unlike anybody elses, e.g. our young messiah winger) none of which are actually remembered. Yes it can clearly be decided he's no heart and is crap and should be in the worst team of the decade, and the 20 trys in 15 games in the reserves doesn't count as it's the reserves, but it's a sufficient competition to judge giving other players a crack at the first team.

Agreed.

In the same way that people are backing Pryce, I'm going to back Goulding to succeed. He was made a scapegoat many a time last season, and most of the time it was unfair. IMO he has the ability to be a good SL centre for us, much in the way Pryce has.

When MM and SW took over they said about 'clean slate for everyone' it seems some people on here have forgotten that and are content in keeping on bringing up past seasons. They no longer matter, 2010 under the new regime matters. Let's see how both Pryce and Goulding and every other player who has come in for harsh criticism fairs this season. Until then I don't think it's fair to A. Hope someone fails, B. Not back any player, C. Use an injury as an excuse to get rid.

For once, back the team and it's players. I for one hope several people have to eat their words at the end of this season.

dont know about pryce but MM hand injury was certainly NOT done on the training pitch

If that's true, and I haven't heard anything, then I expect he'll be on a final warning.

Pryce has dislocated his shoulder again ive been told. Waste of space its going to be 1 thing after another with him. Send him to Celtic when hes fit, reserve grade is going to do him no good at all.

That may be Karl's last chance at Wigan down the drain.

Mickey's injury is more disappointing but hopefully he shouldn't miss too many games.

Neither IMO would have been in Mcguire's 17 for the 1st game.

Couldn't agree more. It's been said a million times but everyone deserves a fair crack of the whip under this new regime.

Then after a few games into the season and a few dropped balls and mistakes we can resume are badgering of players we don't like.

View Pryces injury as his first one at the club, fresh slate and all that, I for one will be egging him on all season and have faith in MM and SW to get him firing on all cylinders.

I can't see him taking a shirt off Gleeson or Carmont. 2012 is possible though as Carmont will be off contract

Carmont is off contract at the end of 2010, and has to meet certain criteria to activate the second year of his deal.

I like Carmont but if Pryce is not proven by the end of this year to take Carmonts place for 2011, i hope he does not manage to activate the second year option, there are some classy outside backs available next year who will give us stability long term.

Matt Cooper would do nicely

iv been told theres nothing up with pryce, someone very close to the player himself

I think I'm correct in saying there hasn't been an official announcement yet. The 'story broke' on the other message board.

PM please if it cant be posted
