Really? I completely missed that. My one chance of being part of a clique and I didn't notice!

But, I agree, there is nothing like healthy debate.
Absolutely and players like Pryce will get many different opinions posted.

Slightly off topic but last night I edited all the BBC SL shows I have saved on my freeview PVR down to just the Wigan highlights to save space.

As I did going back to watch each match highlights as I did was very interesting re the wingers and team in general. The wingers look better than you think on the day.

Trouble is Roberts looks ten times the player Pryce is so unless its Roberts to FB I can't see Pryce keeping his place.

I watched the game on the SL and Boots and all and even though Pryces tries were all walkovers, he did what a winger should and finished well. It's difficult to critisise him for finishing moves well, when that's a big part of what a winger does.

Off current performance I'd still rank him 3rd choice winger, and that' assuming Paddy or Amos fills the fullback role.

My summary. Jury out but considering a community sentence. :roll:

Usually when this happens they'll focus on one stat like 'yes he made less metres but he tripped over his shoelace on his own line and would have gone the full length of the field otherwise probably making 12 tackle busts on the way.' and you just know that they've been on the same coach following a game and reached a consensus that no amount of logic or reason will change. Oh yes and he didn't even realise he had his T-shirt on inside out for all that time. :lol:
This is so true :lol:

cpwigan wrote:Dave O keep at em on RLfans. The fans arguing Pryce has somehow pushed himself ahead of Goulding in the pecking order should be ashames and embarassed of themselves. Goulding has done it over a full season thus far and against the best teams. KP has played a few games and mainly against poor opposition. Whatsmore Pryce is a lefty. Part of the problem with Noble was he kept playing him on the right. Had something not happened, Pryce would have been dropped. He wasn't and he is doing OK but Jeez some on there need a little perspective.

Rogues champions certain players and denegrates those players who play in a similar position. Macollorum - Piggy and now Goulding - Pryce.
And this is so true too :lol:

I have noticed this too about Rogues, as I have too with others on that site such as Jonh and AJ. Posters like this often dress up their opinions as facts and create myths about players to back up what they say. If they post something often enough it seems to become fact on there and their gullible followers believe it.

had a pretty good game imo, apart from that first high kick he missed i thought he performed quite well, caught everything that was kicked to him and saved a try, he just needs to run the ball in with a bit of aggression and toughness i m o
