According to the other board, KP has dislocated his shoulder wrestling in training and will be out for at least 3 months.

Also micky mac has broken his hand and will be out for 6 weeks.

Sounds like training is going to plan then!

Didn't SW state that they were going 'all out' in training and there would be a few busted noses along the way and that it would very tough but enjoyable?

Beltin'.

If it's true about KP it's further evidence that his body ain't up to the demands of RL and that we should fire him off at the first opportunity.

It's certainly the last thing he wanted. He had a big opportunity here to reinvent himself, and the key to that would have been to hit the ground running. Now he'll be months behind everyone else.

again

I disagree, it sounds like just an unlucky injury - Joe Mellor just received an unlucky injury to.

If true thats a blow to the squad especially as we're yet to play a game and thats where we're most likely to pick up more injuries.

I suppose the only blessing is that it's not a first choice player in Pryce and if McILorum is out for 6 weeks he won't miss many games anyway(he also may not have been first choice).

Here's hoping it's no longer than 3 months. Just when you feel the lad may get a fair crack of the whip, a cruel blow such as this comes along.

Shame for Mick as well, hopefully it won't be two serious or lengthy either.

The only bright side is at least it's in areas that we have depth in.

People only seem to like Pryce because he is big and they live in hope. I'm afraid I would have got rid a while ago.

Just looking on the other forum and the guy who said McIlorum had broke his hand has now said he needs an operation on it. He doesn't say if that means anymore time out but it wouldn't suprise me.

We could do with staying clear of many more injuries before the start of the season.

Hope both recover quickly!

Agreed we need all the players available throughout next year

They can also remember what he was capable of delivering at Bradford and that he's still young and cheap. To be honest would you rather have got rid and had him come back to haunt us for the next 5 years? Or while it's not taking much cap and there's still some chance, keep persevering with him?

seconded, hes never been good enought to play "the wigan way"get rid and at least get abit of money back for him

id much rather have goulding or thornley comiing through the ranks than having pryce sitting ther for another season wasting our money and time, get rid, a bad signing but people keep wanting to give the lad time, out now

And what exactly would it achieve? who exactly is he stopping from doing anything? As long as the club feel he's right to keep, then i'll support him just like the rest of the squad. Goulding has as much to prove as anybody if he wants to stay to, and as far as I know Karl wasn't keeping Ian from doing anything last season and won't be this.

hes not good enough, hes done 2 years at this club and done what, give me one memorable thing he has done, i dont think he has ever started or finnished a game, im not botherd if hes big and strong but hes got a heart the size of a pea, much rather spend our money on someone who would rather play for the club

He's just scored 20 tries in 15 games in the reserves (a better strike rate than Ainscough in the same competition), and got 3 tries in 5 starts and 2 subs in the first team (which you seemingly don't remember him starting, or coming on, or scoring), and he was still injured for the whole of 2008 back from his time at Gloucester and didn't play a game, what exactly do you expect him to have done in 7 appearances (2 as sub). I bet if he played with a smile, kissed the odd badge and was from Wigan he'd be being bigged up by loads of people now.

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
