| The issues being brought up here are the same ones Bradford fans used to bring up when he played for them, even with his try scoring record there.
I fully expect him to be one of the most frustrating players to play for the club in a long time given his demeanor - which some will see as him being lazy. The biggest issue I have with him is that he doesn't run his size, and didn't at Bradford either. He should be scattering players all over the pitch, but he goes down far too easily for me and I have to question whether he has the heart to play to his potential?

Agreed. He was playing well at Bradford during the Bull Mania period. And yet the fans continued to call him lazy.

All I'm saying is that I think it's wrong to write him off after 9 games of Rugby League this season.
If he hasn't improved by the end of the season then make the judgement.
How long did we give Aspinwall etc?

Too long.
His is going to similar to Mathers, has never fully recovered with his confidence after 2 bad injuries?

I am all for giving people a chance Mr Rogues when they put as much effort in as possible but when i see him play he looks like he is along for the ride.

It's not a case of that at all.
We bought Pryce knowing he was injured as we could see the potential in the guy.
Four first team games isn’t a good enough test of if he’s going to make it or not imo.
Some times there is nothing wrong with looking at long term prospects.
As I’ve said I think he’ll turn into a very good SL player and we shouldn’t get rid of him straight away.
What’s the point of signing him when injured then getting rid of him when he gets fit?

He was lazy at Bratfot, but at least he was match fit and a threat. I don't think he'll ever be a blood and thunder type of player, not in his nature.
Having been out so long his body is still getting used to playing again. I'd agree with those who say he still needs time.

| Like what I said with Mathers last year you have to give him a chance to recover or it could be to another clubs benefit.
Mather's unfortunatly for all his effort did not work out it may not work out for Pryce but we would be foolish to let him go at this early stage.

| Picture the scene - Huddersfield Pre season - Half time!
We come down the steps to comments of
"Get rid of that Mathers"
"Riddell's not as good as Higham"
"That Pryce is a Lazy Git!"
My mate turns to me and says "Wigan fans always want a scapegoat! Mathers may as sod off now coz he will never get a fair crack as thev'e made their minds up! And I'll tell you what, Pryce will be the next one to get it!"
How right he was!

the fact that you can sum all this up after only 3 first team games tells me that you should be our new head scout!!!!.
3 games are all he has had!!!!!
3 games in a team you could hardly say are hitting the heights of their form!!!!
the lad does not stand a chance with some of you lot

In fairness though Pryce has had a lot of chances.
To my mind he simply does not apply himself.
Whether that is laziness or lack of ability to concentrate, I am unable to ascertain.

I have no doubt that if we continue to slowly let him develop and build up his fitness and confidence he will be a much better player than goulding could be.

| Lets give him until the end of 2010 until we judge him.
I think we should loan him out to a NL 1 side asap until the end of the season so he can get up to speed and grow in confidence and then a good off season he will be great come next season.
