The comments i've heard about him is that when he appears in the game he stands out, but still seems to look his lazy self. I think that's probably just the aura he gives off though, i personally think when he has been in the first team he hasn't done too badly.

There was the one game, can't remember who against at the start of this year, where he had ainscough outside of him, got the ball a reasonable amount but then threw passes into touch because Ainscough had overrun/pass was too far behind, but he looked as if given match practice he could be a v good sl centre.


Definately worth another year, even if to just give him a run in the first team after he's had a lot of reserve matches under his belt. I can also see him getting a run in the team further towards the end of this season if we aren't any closer to getting in the playoffs.

Karl Pryce is to Rugby League as what Audley Harrison is to Boxing.

Looks the fooking business, but as Wigan/Leeds Andy says 'Heart the size of a pea', and that's something you cannot coach.



I would love to be proved wrong next season.

Absolutely, we might as well stick with him, we've no doubt put a lot of time and effort into him, and hopefully it'll come to fruition, and will have a good player on are hands.

I have been to all of the reserve games at Orrell and Pryce has been playing regularly for them and performing quite well although doesn't seem to exploit his size as he should (confidence issue?). He also has scored a fair few tries even before the last match. He has been used quite a few times at stand off in these games so maybe he is being given a run in the reserves either to help his fitness (looked a problem when in the first team) or to let him be tried in and to adapt to a possible new position. Could also be a combination of both but having seen how he is being used I think these are two likely explanations. From what I have seen he is worthy of the extension as he has been improving through the season despite what some people who spend all game shouting abuse at him seem to think. If he can keep improving and start to use his size more he could be very effective for us.

Hes playing on Sunday.

It was stated that Karl Pryce was a long-term investment and hopefully he can cement a first team place in the next year.

IMO the bartender has already called time and the lights are switched on...........

Just like Noble then........

But Karl has fallen asleep in the toilets...

Way to go Lenegan...kick us all when we are down!

Pryce is a donkey...no speed, no power, no enthusiasm, nada.

Is anyone else getting slightly annoyed at the penny pinching antics of our Chairman and all the "bargains" he likes to sign?

Performance reflects leadership.

A good coach would sort Pryce out.

Say what you want about his attitude but are you really questioning his physical attributes?

Pryce has all the attributes to be a great player

Like the one who brought the best of him out at Bradford?

Nonsense.....

Wigan only took him on because he was offered to them for next to nothing. The reason being that Gloucester wanted shut when he got banned for drinking & driving just after joining them.

No doubt Pryce feels the shine's been knocked off Noble and he can no longer believe in him. Potter would soon whip him into shape.

Carmont still out then?

Send him to Warrington.

Just out of interest, how many first team games has he played for you?

Think so

Well the main problems against Celtic were a lack of commitment, effort and passion so i can see the logic in bringing Pryce back into the side

You can't coach heart.

He must be such an annoying player to coach really.

You look at him is some of the reserve games and you wonder what he is doing at that level, last Saturday against Wakefield being an example.

But then when he is in the first team or in some other reserve games you wonder why the club went and bought him.

He has all the attributes to make it, but for whatever reason it just does not seem to happen for him.

The guy has all the tools to be massive for us in the centres, free up quota space by replacing Carmont etc, but he just doesnt ever look interested for me.

More like just a massive tool in the centre!
