No ta, it'll be on my Sky plus but I do trust what I saw without the need to review the game on television too.



Sometimes television can't see the whole picture and just the edited and focused areas of the game that holds the most action.

One thing that has become evident over the last few years (Bradford and Wigan) is a lack of positional sense in defence.



This has been apparent when playing on the wing, and certainly at centre. A prime example being Barrow away last year.



Defensive nouse is equally important as attsck for a centre, in my honest opinion. Not only because he's defending further in field, but because he has a lot of responsibility organising his winger.



I'd like to think he's overcome these defensive frailties, although I have my doubts. Only the coach knows really, and maybe the fact that Marsh played centre ahead of him reflects this.

Let's face it. Pryce is this years wigan fans target, for some reason we have to have one. If Goulding had done exactly what Pryce did you'd all be saying decent game and a shoe in for next week.



I'm not Pryce's biggest fan but can recognise the potential. I also think the current coaching staff have the ability to take him up a level or 2. The real question is does he want to go up to that level. The answer will come from Wigan depending on whether he is offered a new contract or not. If we do let him go, unlike a previous poster i think he will come back to haunt us. Like Rogues i would like to see him given a 1 year deal and a centre position.

I'll bet you would have watched it if we'd won.

Sorry Rogues, I'm not a fan of Pryce. He certainly wasn't the worst player on the pitch but when he came inside for the kick that Robinson gathered to score, he took an eternity to turn and head for the corner flag to try to stop him. Having said that Marsh was at fault for taking the dummy but I can see that he has promise. Pryce just hasn't got any uuummph and he never will have.

I thought Ainscough looked better for the under 20s than Pryce did on Sunday.

Funny thing is we wouldn't be having this discussion had we beaten Huddersfield. I've just watched the game again and feel that we would beat them by thirty points next time.

My thoughts are now on playing Leeds in the play-offs and then choosing them again in the semi. Then it's Warrington in the final.

No we don't and I don't thing we either need one or have one. Sometimes it's not coincidence several people don't rate a player just as it isn't when most people think a player is brilliant. Why when it's the former does this equate to making a player a scape goat?



If people were blaming Pryce for the loss then perhaps the scape goat tag might apply but all I can see are comments that in general indicate he isn't good enough to play for us which isn't the same thing as being a scape goat. Some disagree about him being good enough but we don't seem to able to say a player is not good enough without the scape goat claim being brought up. Even some of the negative comments get couched in platitudes as if the poster is treading on eggshells in case they are deemed to over stepped the mark.



I honestly do not think Pryce is good enough for a place next season but that does not equate to him being a scape goat. He's only played 7 games for us this season so he'd be going some if he was getting the blame for anything.

Just so we can be sure there's no confusion, the following is Karl Pryce:

You know me too well, Brian!

I'll bet Maguire, Wane and the players have watched it.

You're missing my point. I never mentioned the word scapegoat nor was that what i was illuding to. This year, pretty much everytime he has played there has been a thread about why he shouldn't be playing for wigan. Same last year about Roberts and Mathers, same about Richards in his first year.

KP did not lose us that game. Maybe he could have done better when Robinson took his try, but that's also like blaming the keeper when the other 10 wendyballers allowed a striker through on goal.

IMO Pat came inside twice to allow Hudds to attack down our left, because Joel was in the centre position.

We don't like to blame injuries for our defeats, but having Marsh (on loan at a poor Div 1 team, playing out of his favoured position) and JT at left centre because DG, GC and MG are all out, must have contributed to a lack of confidence or communication out wide.
