I've frequently seen ex-Wiganers - even the poor ones - impress when they've come back to the JJB. Goulding didn't. Not sure what that means, but it suggests that his spirit isn't all it should be.


I thought he tired hard and probably ran with more vigour then normal but even with that he didn't make an impression.

He's a decent player and pretty solid but you need more then that to challenge for honours and i think we have that in Pryce. Even on a bad day Pryce is still going to be a handful and can bag you a much needed try just with his pure size.

You just hope the penny will drop with Pryce at some point.

I'm not sure how long he's got left. With the best will in the world, the club must now be feeling pretty disappointed in him.

I can't imagine he's on peanuts and feel sure his alarming lack of progress will be reflected when it comes to contract renewal time.

The thing is with Pryce you could see him accepting any sort of contract offer here and he'd just be happy to sit about in the reserves and train everyday fort he money without really being bothered about cracking the first team.

He doesn't look to have a passion for the game but he's so talented.

A realy shame.

I don't think we're far off the point where people will say: "If he was going to break back into the first team, he'd have done it by now."

The current first-team have been less than glowing in some of their performances, so you'd think it would less difficult for him than normal. In addition, Pryce is supposed to be a big Wigan fan from way back, in which case you'd think he'd be doubly motivated.

Another disappointing signing thus far, but I don't blame the club for this - Pryce showed enormous promise when he was young, and I was depressed when he went off to Union. I thought it was a great capture when he supposedly came back.

Yes you do get employed on 'track record'.

But there is more to it than that, more things to consider, and rarely do you get a top job simply because of track record, it is a great indicator but clearly not the be all and end all.

I was in the get rid of at the end of season camp.

However last week I was with someone who trains and plays alongside Pryce.
He was of the opinion that Pryce should be give another year, but really punished in pre-season prior to the 2010 season. Pre season training is apparently quite a bit different to in season training.

I'm sure Jonh can enlighten us.

I was at the reserve game this week and I was really disheartened by the way Pryce played, in particular how he failed to take on the line, its like he doesn't realise how big he is.

At his size, in the reserves he should be a total nightmare for the opposition hitting the line hard and causing problems every time he has the ball.

I don't know if playing him at 6 is such a good idea, in this position he has the option to pass the ball along the line rather than being forced to run at the line.
This for me is were Pryce needs to improve, he needs to learn his size and understand if he hits the line at pace giving it his all he will be a handful every single time he takes the ball up.
See the opposition struggle will build his confidence and allow him to develop playing to his strengths which is his size and speed.

I'd like to see Pryce in the centres or even second row in the reserves forcing him to work on his running game.
I often think Pryce at 6 was a lame attempt of turning him into his brother. When they are very different players.
