What makes his match fitness any different from that of any other player who has just done a pre season. He is either up to super lague standard or he isnt.

I undertsand about the injury etc but he has been over the injury for some time and has taken part in 3 pre season games and a full off season training.

He is either up to the job or he isnt.

Ask your mate piggy

Correct

That would be Nobby if he doesn't play him.

If phelps is out on Friday the surley pryce should play.

All the talk is to bring Pyce back slowly however if it is true as we are lead to believe that he was fit for the last 8 weeks of last season then after an extended pre season he should play.

What are peolpes thoughts?

id play ainscough, as a few others have said. the lad looks like he could be a bit special. reminds me a bit of henderson gill when he sets off. impressed me in the warrington game.

Unfortunately, I seem to remember him impressing pre-season last year too, but still couldn't make a break into an under-performing team early doors. If these lads aren't given a chance, then they'll look at moving elsewhere themselves - why wouldn't they?

His match fitness isn't up to scratch yet. When he is ready he will be a handful.

I think what you've got to realise is that he was still at U18 level last season.

He has plenty time on his side.

I think we all hope KP regains full fitness because he is one hell of a player when fit but unfortunately it looks unlikely and it is going to take a good while before we found out if he can get back to his best

Ah - sorry Bri. Thought he was slightly older than that - still got some time there, but could do with at least a chance, eh?

KP isnt exactly got our mouth's watering at the prospect of him getting fit has he?

Just a slight downside on this seasons upward trajectory eh?

It has to be Ainscough for me, he easily out played Pryce in the Warrington friendly and that was Pryce's best performance of the pre season!
