Thought he went well. Looked strong if a little knackered.

I kept the faith and I kept voting Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man Theirs is a land of hope and glory Mine is the green field and the factory floor Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers And mine is the peace we knew Between the wars

He look severly out of fitness to me. He did ok but god theres no way he would have played tonight had we had so many injuries.

Doesn't punch his weight, or he certainly didn't when he was at Bradford. Too laidback, which is a shame, as he is potentially a great player. Remember seeing a Boots n All report on the Pryce brothers, and Leon hinted that Karl needs a boot up his jacksy just to make it down the stairs. Just the way he is.

He did alright tonight for a player below match fitness. I thought he looked pretty good all things considered. His ball handling was very good, he took the ball in and even showed a bit of pace. I was expecting far worse given the reports in here from the friendlies.
Both him and Ainscough had good débuts tonight but I doubt Pryce would have played has Richards been fit.

Never rated him and never will another of nobles bum boys
[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

My opinion is based on a Bradford game at Wakey, when on a number of occasions he was facing a winger much smaller than him (Wayne Price, if my memory serves me correctly), when it seemed like he all he had to do was run hard and the other winger had no chance. Instead, he shimmied, tried to think his way past him, by which time the cavalry had arrived. If someone would just remind him that he is a massive bloke before he takes the field, then he will do okay, but I think he forgets that.

Fair enough but as I said I think he did OK given he clearly isn't fit. We will find out come October. Mind you why he isn't fit is another question which doesn't just apply to him.

thought he looked ok to. he did look like he was trying to run off a knock as did ainscough . but once again only a few positives from what could only be described as a p!ss poor performance
