Karl Pryce looked jiggered on that video clip of them training





I get the sense by the look of Phelps it really is tough work and they'll all have to just grin and bear it until the season starts. They should get the rewards in the games then and if they do they'll look back on this period with fond memories.

In these pre season interviews the phrases "hit the ground running" and "a better start that last year" or similar keep coming up.

A good start to the season is what everyone at the club is aiming for and the way they are going it may well be that's what will happen.

I certainly hope so!

All this heavy training could have more than just physical benefits to the team.

It will develop some team spirit in the squad IMO, when the training gets hard players will encourage eachother to push through it, hopefully this will transfer onto the pitch and we will see players looking out for eachother when it gets tough. That would be a massive improvement on its own.

On a side note lets not forget the captaincey issue.



This period will be an opportunity to see who are the leaders in the squad and who are the players setting a good example for the rest to follow when things get tough during training.



Clearly O'Loughlin will be firm favourite to be named captain once again next season but i think that it is wise to assess things first.

Good signs...........BUT.......it's not how you start, it's how you finish.





I will be as happy as anyone to see us start well, but the proof of the pudding will come in October 2010.

On a side note, I've been hearing that although training is hard, and for many of the players its the toughest pre-season they've had to date, they are enjoying it and are buzzing for the new season.



Except one player.



Mr Karl Pryce. Or as he's called at the club 'Pea Heart'.

I do hope that Pryce can finally get over his injury problems and start to challenge for a place in the starting 13 next season.



He showed a lot of potential whilst out on the wing for Bradford but has only shown glimpses of what he is capable of in a Wigan shirt under a coach that showed a lot of faith in him.



Its a massive year for him career wise as i cant see many other clubs wanting to touch him if he doesnt show up soon.

really think phelps is gonna have a big season this year, iv been impressed with him since we got him and he played his first gameagainst leeds, people say on this site that aussies dont show passion for this club, but he deffo does, i hope we can sign him up on a longer contract

I watched the dvd of the reserve final v Saints earlier this week. Some of Pryces footwork for a big man is unreal.



I really think if we can get him fit and to [ibelieve in himself [/iwe could have a world class player.



It's a big season for Pryce, because if he doesn't perform I think he's a gonner.

What about the WCC in 2005

mate hes , he doesnt want to know, hes the worst player to be in the squad, im not botherd about his footwork hes big enough to run through them, end of story this topic went on all the way through last season get rid, player on big wages
