What does he have to do?



Piggy was good tonight, the best hooker on the park.

Pryce was out of his depth at 6 and Noble wants his head testing for even thinking about it never mind doing it. Pryce has been out a long time so to stick him in at 6 when he is just getting back into the game was stupid. Where was the duty of care here?



Fans make their minds up about players all the time. It happens all the time on here and some who defend Pryce in this thread have held negative opinions about other players.



I would like Pryce to succeed here but he has to take some responsibility for that himself but he will face an even more difficult struggle to win over the fans if his coach does things like put him in at 6.

So you missed him completely failing to make an attempt to catch the bomb on Les Cats 1st attack? For a full back that was terrible.



Or when we had an overlap on attack down the left in the first half and he had a big gap in front of him he put a grubber kick in to groans all around the ground?



He is very enthusiastic and that counts for a lot on message boards but quality-wise I remain unconvinced.



Dave

Good win for you lot there, hopefully Wire can do the same tomorrow

Given the way the league is going, hopefully not but I suspect given Saints injuries you might.



Dave

it's looking good for the semi now both teams hitting form, i think it's going to be a cracker.

Yeah I'd agree with that, were still a little unpredictable but we are improving. A big test of wire's development this season is there test against Saints tonight, if they can overcome that it'll certainly boost wire's confidence.

Im not sure we are, we are winning but i do not think we are hitting form, I guess regardless of the comp (Cup or SL) at this stage of the season the important thing is that we are winning, come play off time though I think we seriously need to improve to have any chance, and i think if we continue to play as we are we will have to catch Wire on a bad day, unless we pull one of our rare inspired performances out of the blue.

I must admit, this is the sort of thing that makes my blood boil with a certain breed of Wigan fan these days, and frankly, it can make me support players, coaches etc who otherwise I would want to leave.



The vitriol that gets poured onto some Wigan representatives - and this board is a good example, though the other one is much worse - is indicative of a juvenile streak among the Wigan fans that would surely make some players have second thoughts about wanting to sign for us.



Some people rip the sh8t out of the same players (coaches, officials, etc) every time they post, in the most personal terms, without any apparent attempt to understand the reasoning behind performances, decision-making etc. Given that anyone can read these message board, they may well be doing much more damage to the club than those they hate.

!00% agree

I keep hearing contrasting views has to how S Tomkins performed last night, was he greedy with the ball or was it a case of players not making themselves available forcing him to run nearly every time, how did he perform last night?

I thought he had a great game. Both in attack and in defence.

On numerous occasions he was stood behind the marker and pulled off some sublime tackles!
