6 attacking runs and approximately 3 tackles made.

Each of the 9 times, he got up and limped away.

An involvement of 9 times in 80 minutes.

He didn't make a single tackle in first 19 minutes and didn't actually touch the ball during this same period.

If this is the sort of "quality" we laud on here, god help us.

I agree with all the above. Reading some of the of the other posts on here I though I was watching a different game??

I thought Pryce looked p/ss poor to be honest. Didn't get involved enough, flapped at the high ball in the first half and looked like he wanted to be subbed half way through the 2nd half as was constantly looking over to the bench. Also he limped or winced after every tackle he made a carry he took.

Ok he scored a try and made a couple of tackles and OK he hasn't played a competitive match for 18 months. But in my opinion he is going to struggle, looked way out of his depth and I think we've signed duffer. All I can hope is that he proves me wrong over the season.

Thought he looked strong but slow, with a low workrate. Wouldn't play him on the wing again but I think he could turn out to be an effective centre on the inside of Richards. That way if the ball comes out wide Pryce can just try to run over the top of the defender, because Richards tends to get most of his trys from kicks to the corner plus the odd poached mistake.

i know i'm not a pie-er but sorry he looked absolutely shocking friday - a big lad like that - he looked so un-mobile totally dis-interested and i think you'd be best playing ainscough instead of him any day of the week.
