The flip side of the coin
2 weeks ago against us he was appalling. Caught out of position continuously during the first 20 mins ( at which point he was substituted ) where Bridge scored a hat trick, each try scored in Pryce's centre position.
For a man that size ( he was stood at one point next to Carvell and Morley and he was the biggeest of the 3 ) his lack of heart in running with the ball was dreadful

He's had 3 years and still bottles it every try i've seen him score (barr the foster one v saints) have been walk ins
Watch todays highlights and you will see the change in him!
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
He's a confidence player. If he thinks he has the beating of his man he's a handful. If his opposite number hits him hard in the first few minutes he goes into his shell.

Which is evidently a problem for a Rugby League player.
In my opinion karl did very little wrong last year. When called upon he defended well, scored plenty and didn't look out of place. I think spending more time at Quins away from the boo boys can only be a good thing for him, some folk wouldn't be happy unless he was scoring 3 tries every game. When he comes back I'm sure, like last year, he'll slot in well and be a solid part of the team.

Which one was the real Karl Pryce ??
The inconsistency is the real KP, unfortunately. Noble used the word "frustrating" about him on the SL show (and he should know as well as anyone does), which sums him up perfectly.

I real enigma this guy. He has the physical size to be the new Tuigamala..but....we all know he's never going to produce the goods consistently. Its a shame cos I think he really tried his best..and to be fair to the club we gave him ample time and opportunity to impress.
If by some 100/1 chance he consistently rips it up at the quins many on here self included will welcome him back with open arms - not a likely scenario unfortunately.

It's hard for us to comment on his current play since we are not seeing much of it. Try scoring highlights don't tell us a lot.
A quick look at the Engage SL stats comparing him with Charnley shows the latter ahead on many of the "donkey work" type stats such as meters and carries. On attacking stats Pryce is ahead but then our attack has not been breaking any pots recently anyway whereas Quins have been scoring plenty.

We are scoring more points per game than Quins
