I wouldn't argue with either to his face... I'd just cross my fingers behind my back agreeing with the latter

Well I would, as I wouldnt like to take a slap off the big fella himself.

Thought he went well. Looked strong if a little knackered.

You bein serious?

He look severly out of fitness to me. He did ok but god theres no way he would have played tonight had we had so many injuries.

Yeah im serious.

Course hes gonna look out of fitness he has been out of the game for years!!!! He was a positive from the match and took on the defenders and did well considering.

Doesn't punch his weight, or he certainly didn't when he was at Bradford. Too laidback, which is a shame, as he is potentially a great player. Remember seeing a Boots n All report on the Pryce brothers, and Leon hinted that Karl needs a boot up his jacksy just to make it down the stairs. Just the way he is.

He did alright tonight for a player below match fitness. I thought he looked pretty good all things considered. His ball handling was very good, he took the ball in and even showed a bit of pace. I was expecting far worse given the reports in here from the friendlies.

Both him and Ainscough had good débuts tonight but I doubt Pryce would have played has Richards been fit.

Imo he looked like he wanted to be at home!

Never rated him and never will another of nobles bum boys

My opinion is based on a Bradford game at Wakey, when on a number of occasions he was facing a winger much smaller than him (Wayne Price, if my memory serves me correctly), when it seemed like he all he had to do was run hard and the other winger had no chance. Instead, he shimmied, tried to think his way past him, by which time the cavalry had arrived. If someone would just remind him that he is a massive bloke before he takes the field, then he will do okay, but I think he forgets that.

Fair enough but as I said I think he did OK given he clearly isn't fit. We will find out come October. Mind you why he isn't fit is another question which doesn't just apply to him.

thought he looked ok to. he did look like he was trying to run off a knock as did ainscough . but once again only a few positives from what could only be described as a p!ss poor performance

Unless he's changed. . . he'll always look like that. Or be off the park with a knock. He's physically a big lad with heaps of natural ability . . . . . but limited bottle, IMHO.

Hope you guy's pick it up soon . . . but not for the next two matches or at least the match after next

Rubbish.

IMO he really really didn't want to be on the pitch in the second half - Limped his balls off, until he got the ball, ran it in quite good and then limped some more afterwards.

He punched his weight last night, knocking defenders off every time he took it in, bit unfit but that is expected, he absolutly creamed one of the Cas wingers into touch aswell. He played well I thought, one of the positives from the game. If he gets a bit of match fitness there is no reason he wont be in the England squad come end of the season if he carries on like last night, I was impressed.

Tbh he did a lot of this last night too. He seemed to want to step round people rather than going through them and ended up virtually tackling himself on more than one occasion. He did look promising though.

Promising but what's the deal with his injury? Was the fact that he was limping after every tackle he took the result of his old injury, a knock he picked up during the game or just because he's a big drama queen?

He took a knock in the first half.

Thought he played quite well the other night, although once fully match fit IMO he'll be much more effective in the centre.

Easy to say, and I doubt if Nobby will do this, but I believe he could be a real threat to opposition when fully fit, and he aint gonna get that playing a game then two off, if we are serious about this guy as we seem to be, we need to keep giving him game time if he's fit, that's the only way we will know if he can deliver what I hope he can, the guy's a fekin monster, coached correctly and fit, he can do some serious damage for us.

6 attacking runs and approximately 3 tackles made.

Each of the 9 times, he got up and limped away.

An involvement of 9 times in 80 minutes.

He didn't make a single tackle in first 19 minutes and didn't actually touch the ball during this same period.

If this is the sort of "quality" we laud on here, god help us.

I agree with all the above. Reading some of the of the other posts on here I though I was watching a different game??

I thought Pryce looked p/ss poor to be honest. Didn't get involved enough, flapped at the high ball in the first half and looked like he wanted to be subbed half way through the 2nd half as was constantly looking over to the bench. Also he limped or winced after every tackle he made a carry he took.

Ok he scored a try and made a couple of tackles and OK he hasn't played a competitive match for 18 months. But in my opinion he is going to struggle, looked way out of his depth and I think we've signed duffer. All I can hope is that he proves me wrong over the season.

Thought he looked strong but slow, with a low workrate. Wouldn't play him on the wing again but I think he could turn out to be an effective centre on the inside of Richards. That way if the ball comes out wide Pryce can just try to run over the top of the defender, because Richards tends to get most of his trys from kicks to the corner plus the odd poached mistake.

i know i'm not a pie-er but sorry he looked absolutely shocking friday - a big lad like that - he looked so un-mobile totally dis-interested and i think you'd be best playing ainscough instead of him any day of the week.
