For?

Why?

What?

When?

Depends on Roberts fitness...

I dont think he will be dropped nxt week but i dont think he will play against Warrington

Who?

Always going to struggle to get much ball outside Gleeson.

Whatcha talking bout willis????

It's a bit of a hot topic but if madge is consistent I expect Pryce to get the chance next week.

Anyone know how Pryce went in the under 20's?

He scored at least one.

It probably depends how Pryce went on in the under 20's. If he didn't play well he doesn't get his place back. Goulding was a bit nervy in the first half although the second half he was better. He started to read the game very well and intercept the ball (or close enough) on a couple of occasions.

Bringing Pryce back probably wouldn't be a bad thing though, he's done well and can always trouble opponents. If Roberts is back to fitness I expect he'll play right wing anyway and so the decision would be already made with Pryce coming in on the left.

Thanks Bilko

Goulding will keep his place if amos plays full back as sam will be back at 6.

If paat plays full back, pryce may come back on to the wing.

Daz did nothing wrong tonight

He won't be dropped next week! Fair enough he made what, one mistake? and he deserves to be dropped? when there are certain players that make mistakes week in week out and never get dropped, so i think that would be a completely unfair decision. He got some points on the board which is what needs to be done, which is what he always does!

He came close a few times, just because he didn't score then doesn't mean that he is lacking in cofidence or was nervous. I think he played some good rugby tonight and doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Can I ask? Family member or serious crush?

made a couple of errors for me, knock on was a poor one and also missed a couple of tackles.

Pryce was dropped for less after the Wakefield. It will be an interesting selection next week.

For what its worth I do not think he had a bad game at all, i just think at the moment both are so close to each other in getting the shirt the smallest error costs them.

I cant believe threads like this that appear on here. I cant say I am surprised though that Jonh has decided to single out his favourite scapegoat again. It is funny how when Goulding plays well Jonh never comments on him or compliments him. The moment he has an average game he starts threads like this. It is pathetic. The biggest laugh at all though is that he complains if anyone singles out and criticises Pryce



No Goulding wont be dropped at all next week. He was certainly no worse than many of the other players and did nothing wrong. Our back 3 certainly looks much better with him in the team. If Pryce had played like that then Jonh certainly wouldnt have started a thread like this and some posters would be all excited about his work rate and the metres and tackle busts that he made.

Maguire will pick whoever he considers to be his best team. However no matter what I cant see Pryce getting picked next week. Pryce had his chance and was given a good run of games but unfortunately for him he blew it. He showed absolutely no reason why he should get another shot and I suspect that is why Pryce has been left out of the 19 man squad the last 2 weeks with Marsh and Charnley included instead.

If Amos is fit and Maguire continues with Tomkins at fullback, neither Goulding or Pryce will play.

I wouldn't continue with Tomkins at fullback personally but I have the feeling Maguire might and it has to be said Deacon had a decent game today.

no im not a family member, i can see that hes a great player for us to have

Alot will depend on the fitness of McIlorum and Roberts.

If both are fit then Goulding could well miss out because Deacon played pretty well tonight.

That'll depend on McIlorum's injury. We might need TL at hooker, with Deacs & Sam in the halves.

Good as Sam played, I still prefer him at #6, simply because he sees more of the ball there.

Calm down I actually stated I think Goulding had a good game and am happy to have him here next year in several other threads.

I think your reaction speaks pretty clearly about your views and who is actually a scapegoat.

Pryce was dropped for being caught out of position vs Wakefield on 2 occasions in defence, other than that he has a good game. Goulding had a good game but made 2 or 3 errors also, so with both of them being clearly so close in selection policy of the coach, the question I posed is will he be dropped next week.

If the coach is consistent for me yes, but time will tell, and if he is not I think it will be a real sign of who is at the forefront in the race to be a long term Wigan player between Pryce and Goulding, as I doubt both will be.

My son is out there, has been speaking to him and says Goulding has hurt his ankle. Don't know how serious it is though.
