Maybe you should let Maguire know that because he seems to think different.

It's not about what he looks like.

He is not enthusiastic. He makes hardly any yards.

I have also given every player a clean slate, but look at the OP and it is clear I would rather have a young player in.

But your basing how enthusiastic he is by how he looks. So it is how he looks, and he ran hard today, he won most of the collisions he was in, and he put his hand up, what more do you want? Him to sprint around Mathers style? He isn't that sort of player

No he isn't.

Yes he is!!

You are missing the point.

Would you not rather use this situation as an oppertunity to play a young player on the wing? Who would be much more enthusiastic than Pryce and would probably actualy have a future.

Pryce didn't even deserve to play today, he has done nothing in the reserves. It's not just about his game today.

Well he can continue being twice the player Pryce is at Widnes while Pryce takes his spot in the Wigan first team can't he?

Maybe its true maybe its not. Problem is if Pryce had a mom performance it would never be enough for some. Was the criticism people post on here done regardless of his performance. I think that is very much the case. Ainscough in my opinion as well as Pryce on their performances not just this year but last have weakensses in their game and unless its sorted it wont be just Pryce not good enough. You can score loads of tries but if you have a weakness that both have its obvious neither is going to be of the standard needed. Remember Ainscough will be looking to fill the boots of either Richards or Roberts next season if we dont get a new Full Back and hes nowhere near as good as either of them. Just as Pryce is not as good as Carmont or Gleeson.

But as pointed out Ainscough is local and gets away with it his face fits Pryce does not. I have not seen the game so i cant judge his performance but by what some are saying it was as bad as most of the team last week.

It's ALL about his game today. Deary me.

Why did he get picked then?

Is Madge now picking players for the fun of it?

I honestly have no idea why Madge picked him.

I am sure that had Charnley not been on loan he would have played on the back of good performances. Pryce played because they did not want to have to recall Charnley.

Bull

Pryce will never be a first team regular at Wigan.

This is what annoys me to be honest, I'm not having a go at Pryce but Ainscough should have kept his spot, he would have had a much better chance of doing well with Carmont as his centre than he did with Bailey there. He got thrown in at the deep end then sent packing.

How many more young players do you want to get a chance? Tons of youngsters are getting chances as well they should, Pryce is a fringe player and also has every right to get a chance. I'm not bothered about how enthusiastic he LOOKS! He took his chance well, and in his first full 80 mins of first team since Catalan's away (off the top of my head) he made one mistake.

Get off his back, give him a chance.

Now your making things up!!

What is that based on at all?!

They recalled Ainscough when it was his turn, then took the trouble to loan him out elsewhere agian!!

He picked him because he deserved it simple as.

Thats how Madge has picked his teams so far and thats the way he called this one imo.

All that matters is that Pryce was given a chance today and he's played well enough to keep his place next week.

I still want to know what he did wrong today btw?

If Ainscough had played the way Pryce did today, made the yards in the drives, scored the good try, put up such a good defensive display people on here would be creaming themselves.

Pathetic.

Give over..KP touched the ball about 5 times and two of those times resulted in lost possesion.

Give over yourself, he took the ball as many times as the opportunity presented itself with both ours and Hudd's pattern of play. He made knock on, big fecking deal - he also did a one handed pickup of a ball bouncing in goal and started running it out, and he palmed the ball away when hudds were making a break down his side late 2nd half and had a 4 on 2 overlap that looked a cast iron try scoring opportunity.

I'm not, anyone who watches the reserves knows that Charnley has been better than Pryce.

Pryce didn't even look for the ball today.

I have given him a chance. His has been poor this season, even at a lower level.

After reading this thread im convinced people judge players off how they run, where theyre from and before theyve even played the game.

Personally I think Pryce did a solid job. We looked far more solid defensively with him on the field and Hudds never had a sniff of scoring on his wing which will do me. This year with our team scoring far more tries I'm more bothered about solid defence than 17 tries in 12 games like Ainscough got last year. He struggled last week against Quins in my view so I think Maguire got it right.

Bloody hell mate, he 'didn't look for the ball'??? Is that seriously what you're gonna give him grief for? He played on the 'wing' in his first SL game for ages and stuck to the position he'd been told to play in. We hardly took the ball left all game, on one of the few times we did, Karl was in position and scored (not in the middle 'looking for the ball')

Give over..KP may be good at tennis but he is no RL player..get over it.
