St Helens coach Mick Potter has warned Wigan his side will test the mettle of teenage tryscoring sensation Shaun Ainscough if his counterpart Brian Noble decides to risk him in Saturday's derby at Murrayfield.
Ainscough, 19, is Super League's leading tryscorer with 13 touchdowns in just nine appearances, including four in Sunday's 40-26 victory at Wakefield.
That came after the youngster had been dropped from the team only to be recalled when centre George Carmont pulled out with tonsilitis and Ainscough is not guaranteed to keep his place.
Noble admitted after Sunday's game that Ainscough, who was badly beaten in the air when Wakefield winger Damien Blanch scored one of his two tries, needs to make improvements to his game.
But Potter expects Ainscough to line up opposite England winger Ade Gardner and admits he will be a target for an aerial bombardment.
"I don't know what Brian Noble is going to do but I presume he'll play him," said Potter.
"It was good for the young kid to score four tries. They weren't walk-ins either, he had to work for them.
"I suppose he'll be a target for kicks. He'll get his fair share if we can get down there."
Both clubs are due to name their 19-man squads tomorrow, with Matt Gidley and Tony Puletua returning for Saints and Carmont expected to be back for the Warriors.
Meanwhile, Ainscough's overall total for the season went up to 17 today after he was officially credited with four tries in Wigan's 32-20 Challenge Cup fourth-round win at Barrow earlier this month.
Originally he was awarded three but, following video evidence, he has now been credited with one thought to have been scored by Carmont.

It is, he knows his way to the line, but has some fragility in dealing with kicks. Great prospect though. |

It's the best way to go. This will prove whether he is the superstar the Wiganers think is.

Ah, I misread it, I thought they were talking about the tries in the Wakefield game.
Scoring plenty of tries anyway, looks like he could become a great player.

We need to look out for Wigans quaterback passes to him on the wing.
Two of the trys at Wakefield were from very similar passes to the forward pass try he scored against Saints at the DW stadium.

And the first try for Saints v Bradford on Friday.
But at least we played the ball correctly. |

That just about sums it up for me, in fact i think we are a bit fragile from kicks on both wings to be fair (if richards doesn't play there). Great player to watch though and we can't really afford to leave him out with his strike rate and the enthusiasm he will bring. |

If you read comments on the Wigan board, you'll see we think highly of him but reognize his weaknesses too.
We learnt a lesson from Warrington supporters + the early Kevin Penny. |

Most the wire fans wish he was the "late" levin penny. He may well be actually, seems destined to a life of a-team status |

We are all (well most of us anyway) guilty of slating young wingers esp. for defensive lapses, but at his age an ability to find the try line is more important. He will learn defensive skills over time, i just hope for the sake of the game as a whole we dont write these young lads off as defensive liabilites just because they are 18ish and need time to learn how to tackle 30yr olds with all the experience in the world.
In Ainscough's case he just needs a solid defensive centre inside him so he can build confidence under the ball. If he was outside Gidley his defense would be less questioned for sure. |

He's done very well outside George Carmont.
A good sign for us, is that he even managed to score four outside a unrecognised centre in Cameron Phelps at the weekend (Though Phelps played pretty well too).
His defence in general is good, it's just attacking kicks of all varities that he seems to struggle with. |

This kid's attacking prowess can not be doubted he poses a real threat to our line out wide but i'll tell you now his defence leaves a lot to be desired. We should pinpoint from the first time we get into the Wigoon twenty zone.
