I'd have no issues if Will Pryce played in the Betfred Challenge Cup final - he’s more than capable of dealing with what’s to come.
Whether or not the 19-year-old does feature against Wigan on Saturday, in what would be his first game back from a ten-match suspension, is another matter. Although Huddersfield are missing Theo Fages, coach Ian Watson has said Olly Russell is good to go after his hamstring issue picked up just eight days ago and he’ll start in the halves with Jack Cogger. So Will could easily miss out.
But I always think there has to be room for outstanding young talent like him somewhere in your side and he’d be a great player to have on the bench. He’s got pedigree and his dad Leon to lean on so he should be able to handle the circumstances of playing in one of our two major finals. Yes, it’s always a risk when a player has been out for two and a half months - a third of the season. But I think in life, most of the rewards you gain are through calculated risks that we have to take. Rugby League is no different.
