There used to be a rule that dual registered players couldn't play for both clubs in the same round of fixtures, and he played for Widnes on Thursady.

As I've since been informed by the club, that rule has recently changed to a more vague "duty of care" rule, henceforth to be known as "Nobby's Law".

Amazing what facts show init?

Why is KP taking so much stick on here?
He's big, fast, has a good reading of the game and most importantly, has the confidence of arguably the best coach in super league.

I for one am glad he's playing for us, he has huge potential.

The stats don't show how fast or hard he ran the bwll back. They don't show the kick he let fly past him almost letting Donald in. They don't show how many kicks were sent his way rather than Roberts' and they don't show wigan's pattern of play going left, which has happened more since pat has been at full back, hence all pryce's tries.
in the world of mules, there are no rules

Hes on terra firma (spelling) Straw. All is now well.

Pryce is not fast. Anybody who watched today can see that. He needs to shed another 2-3 stones.

Or, to put it another way, he's not a winger.

I know, his shirt was in the dressing room. :wink: Pryce did well again today, maybe he should have backed himself down the wing but the kick was six inches away from being perfect and above all he ran his weight today. Work in progress, but Maguire likes him and will find a place for him IF he carries on working hard.

If Roberts had have been fit then Pryce was out of the 17 today.

Pryce is never a winger as he is far too slow and hasnt got the neccessary acceleration or agility. He even looks too slow for centre to me and lacks the heart, fitness or strength to play in the forwards. I just cant see a position for him on a RL field unless he shapes up in a big way.

I thing wing is his beast spot Geoff but as a very tall, light player. He's not a tough man and never will be but he could be much faster if he shed weight and there is plenty to shed.
