Wigan called him back from his loan spell, and have now sent him on loan to Cas as this will be more beneficial. Nothing to do with Championship clubs. Super league clubs can send players onm loan where they want to.

Great coup for us even if it is only a months loan, hopefully we can extend it

Proven tryscorer and good pace!

I remember him ripping into us at BV, cracking player and a good deal for Cas.

Surely the point of the dual contract system is to develop plays by giving them a higher grade of "reserve" rugby? The reserve league isnt the best so this helps that.

It cant be in the players interest to chop and change like this? Two clubs systems is a challenge but worth it as the system would work. To then loan him to a 3rd party is a nonsense?

The system should stay as it is and for instance Cas should have players who they then dual contract with say Featherstone. Then when such an occurance happens they call players back from that club.

Yes, its good for Cas to call on a player of this quality, but surely not for Ainscough, not for Widnes and certainly not for the system.

RL has a habit of messing up its own good ideas!

Its definatley in the best interest of Ainscough to go to Cas and play in Super league, which is a much better quality competition compared to the NL1.

Widnes have agreed to terminate the dual contract agreement, therefore he has no link with them and its just a straight and simple loan to Cas. I'm sure Widnes are still pretty happy with the 2 top quality youngsters they still have on loan from Wigan.

Definitely better for Ainscough, last week he was scoring versus an average Championship 2 side in Swinton, now he's playing against a side who were 4th last year in Super League, so it's a chance for him to show he is SL class & hopefully score a few tries along the way. You'd assume if he goes okay for us & Wigan don't pick up injuries, surely no reason why the loan can't be extended?

I cant argue with the two posts as it is good for Cas and Ainscough - BUT - why establish a system when its clear that the existing loan system seems to be better?

Do one thing and stick with it from the point of view of the RFL. It may well work for Ainscough and Cas, but I can see some players suffering from this type of situation. Im looking at this from the point of view of the whole game.

I'd presume so also especially with us being without Phelps atm meaning Goulding being on the wing. Only way he would be recalled is if there is two outside backs injured at once. But even then we may play Pryce or one of our other youngster to stop Ainscough being disturbed.



I can see were your coming from, but i cant see there being too many situations like this, with Widnes allowing Wigan to cancel the dual agreement they could of refused but i presume they are gratefull for the two players on loan in Farrell and Davies. Plus it wouldnt surprise me if another youngster from Wigan (Charnley) was to go out to Widnes for the time being if they needed him. But they seem to be happy with the players they have returning from injury themselves to replace Ainscough..

I am in full support of signing young ainscough i think he will be a very good player, but what does this say for Thompson is TM saying he not good enough/ready for super league?

Jordan is not a winger full stop.

Great signing for the club.....just hope they can sign him on a longer term...

Properbaly One of the hottest prospects in SL ...Just need to sort out his postionional deffensive play.

But hes got Speed to burn, offf the mark like a rocket and very powerfull A TRUE WINGMAN.

Probs the only true Winger weve had since the days of St John and Plangy.

Good Signing TM...just remeber...hes a Winger, keep him there

P.S Now we just need another...No disrespect to Wainwright, can't fault the lads commitment, he gives his all..but does lack in the skill factor

as a wigan fan what do cas fans think of ainscough three tries should have 4. great attacking winger but his defence lets him down allowing cockane to score when he should have drop on the ball. in the early 2009 was a great fans favourite at wigan but his defence is bad

Great lad............

A great performance and exactly what we've needed for years - a pacey winger who can get onto the end of our set moves.

Wot e said ^^^

This is what I posted on the Wigan site :-

What you saw tonight was classic Ainscough.

3 good tries (I think it should have been 4) BUT the miss kick to let HKR back into the game and the wrong option when he kicked towards the posts instead of backing himself to go for the try.

Had Amos Roberts played for Cas they would have won the game.

And if we had Billy Slater at full back, we'd also have won the game...

Ainscough was exceptional in defence, he made one mistake, it's a shame it led to the try, but imo McGoldrick was woefully out of position

To be fair, he had to come across to cover the defence to stop their first guy getting to it. Nobody over there. Woeful defending for that (hard to blame Ainscough though).

Yup, not going to bag Goldy for that performance, I thought he was excellent

=#8000FFApart from Hull KR's first try he was good, which for McGoldrick is excellent I suppose seems usually *** or mediocre would describe a performance by him.

Ainscough made a great contribution to the game, plenty of energy, pace and committment. I wish we could have him for a bit longer than a month!!

class lad, quality

Great debut. Seemed liked he'd been at Cas ages with the way he played. Hope he stays longer than the planned month.

That line stands for the mediocrity of our international game and our terrible excuses for British RL for the past however many years.

I've just been watching up n under on a certain video site which was uploaded by a wigan fan (to whom I am very grateful) featuring the signing of Martin Offiah. Not a single mention of his defence when talking about signing him, simply his great ability.

We lambast young british winger and centres in favour of imports to our peril. Thanks to Cas this season for giving the kid a superleague start this year otherwise people would have said 'well anyone can score in the championship..etc etc.

"Had Amos Roberts played for Cas they would have won" - absolute classic

the one thing that did stand out in his game was the way he alway brought the ball back inside instead of going the direct route, i think he could have had another 2 tries if he'd backed himself
