No straw damn us wrote:So what's changes their minds? Bottom line is Pryce has a skill set that very few at Wigan have, Maguire acknowledges it and wants to use it. A new contract offer is being discussed.
This has to be one of the funniest posts I have read on here. Pryce certainly does have a unique skill set and thank God he does. He is lazy, is slow, cannot bust a tackle and makes few metres. He is also all at sea in defence and is poor when dealing with kicks. I hope these unique skills dont rub off on our other players
Maguire has tried just about every combination before resorting to Pryce. If Ainscough had taken his chance then Pryce wouldnt have even got a sniff. That is how highly Maguire rates Pryce. For whatever reason Pryce has got a run of games. I personally think it is simply a case of wanting Roberts to build up his match fitness on the right before going to full back and the fact that Goulding has never played on the left. He may want to give Goulding a rest as he played a lot of games in succession and there was talk of him having an injury for the Leeds game when he was left out. I also think that CPW may be on to something with regards to Lenegan and his influence.
If you look at the 2 players stats then there is no comparison, Goulding wins hands down. If people take off the blinkers and watch their performances without bias then again Goulding wins hands down. That may not please the anti Goulding brigade on RLFans who have criticised Goulding since he was a teenager, but for some strange reason all rave about Pryce, but it is the case. It is also funny how these posters, people like Rogues and Jonh, have regularly tried to make Goulding the scapegoat for years but now demand special treatment for Pryce. Talk about hypocracy
