Thought he went well. Looked strong if a little knackered.

Thought he had a good game today - he didnt look 'unintrested' as he did in the friendlys, took his try well and made a few good runs, looked good in defence aswell.

Think he will come good for us

You bein serious?

He look severly out of fitness to me. He did ok but god theres no way he would have played tonight had we had so many injuries.

Doesn't punch his weight, or he certainly didn't when he was at Bradford. Too laidback, which is a shame, as he is potentially a great player. Remember seeing a Boots n All report on the Pryce brothers, and Leon hinted that Karl needs a boot up his jacksy just to make it down the stairs. Just the way he is.

He did alright tonight for a player below match fitness. I thought he looked pretty good all things considered. His ball handling was very good, he took the ball in and even showed a bit of pace. I was expecting far worse given the reports in here from the friendlies.

Both him and Ainscough had good débuts tonight but I doubt Pryce would have played has Richards been fit.

My opinion is based on a Bradford game at Wakey, when on a number of occasions he was facing a winger much smaller than him (Wayne Price, if my memory serves me correctly), when it seemed like he all he had to do was run hard and the other winger had no chance. Instead, he shimmied, tried to think his way past him, by which time the cavalry had arrived. If someone would just remind him that he is a massive bloke before he takes the field, then he will do okay, but I think he forgets that.

Fair enough but as I said I think he did OK given he clearly isn't fit. We will find out come October. Mind you why he isn't fit is another question which doesn't just apply to him.

thought he looked ok to. he did look like he was trying to run off a knock as did ainscough . but once again only a few positives from what could only be described as a p!ss poor performance
