Themselves, that's what.
The Great Britain and England stand off barely had time to take off his best suit after being told to expect a custodial sentence for his part in international teammate Stuart Reardon's rather violent attempt at marriage guidance before he was wheeled out at Belle Vue to face Trinity.
According to St Helens' coach Mick Potter, Pryce's apparently imminent incarceration is an 'off field' concern and nothing that should interfere with his team selection.
Tripe.
Whether they choose to accept it or not, and on this occasion I would suggest they clearly didn't, St Helens have a responsibility to the sport as well as their own success.
The reality is that Pryce - and every single one of his professional peers - should be role models for the thousands of kids who watch them every week.
And while no one should expect rugby league players to be whiter than white, there is a line that should not be crossed.
Needless to say, Pryce, not for the first time, has stepped well over it and should have been stood down as a result.
The bottom line, of course, is that Saints consider he is too good a player to leave out.
Certainly, their stance might well have been different if the culprit in question had been some no-name Academy player.
It's not the first time that self interest has come before the greater good - you could argue that Halifax were guilty of similar expediency, albeit on a much smaller scale, when their former forward Danny Heaton was up before the beak last year - and it won't be the last.
At least if it's left up to the clubs themselves, who can rely, at least on the evidence of Friday's commentary, on Sky's complicity in keeping such unsavoury matters well and truly under the carpet.
Personally, I reckon it's time the Rugby Football League to start being a little bit more proactive in these situations.

IT looks like it's all change at Warrington over the next few months as new broom Tony Smith begins what looks suspiciously like a clean sweep of the club's dressing room.
First, there were the rumours that brilliant but controversial half back Lee Briers was for the chop, with Championship outfit Barrow being tipped as a possible destination.
And the hot topic of the last 24 hours has been England centre Martin Gleeson's potential move to Wigan.
So far, neither move has come to pass.
But in rugby league there really is no smoke without fire, and, at this stage, it would be a surprise if either player was still with Super League's perennial under achievers in 2010.
Smith is clearly intent on revolution rather than evolution as he attempts to turn things around at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
