Pryce came in for some stick last year which i thought was a tad ott. He was on fire for the first half of the year and even being talked as man of steel. His off field problems seem to affect him on the pitch.
He has started this year very very well and to be fair been pretty good in all his time at saints apart from 2nd half of last season.
Maurie couldn't get going last year with injuries which effects his form. It was one niggle after another for maurie who needs games to get his match fitness up.
I agree that it was over the top with Pryce last season, however, he just didn't perform well enough and the fact of the matter is, that when Pryce is firing, then it usually means that Saints are. Last season, i think that one of the main reasons that we hit a big dip in form in the second half of the season. Take last night for example, it was no coincidence that when Pryce went off, we struggled and Crusaders started to hit back. Pryce is a key man in our team, and its important that he hits form.
At the start of the season, i thought he had continued were he left off, against Hull we was pretty poor (from what i could see), however, last night i thought he was clearly man of the match and its massive for us to keep him fit and playing well.
