Quote ="fido"Can we get the whole thing straight. Players cannot be dual registered with other SL teams. They have to be a lower division. Wigans conditions of players on loan is that they train with Wigan and only train once or maybe twice with the loan club. Because of this obviously other SL teams are a bit reserved. However, an injury later, they are more likely to accept the conditions as in Ainscough's case. So with that in mind think what he actually did on Saturday. After one days training with a new club he played, on TV, for a completely new team and managed to score 3 (some say 4) and looked the most composed of the whole team. It took Amos Roberts a whole season to settle into Wigan. What is even more anoying is BN makes some reference to discredit his game as he needed to play his higher payed players and everyone jumps on the band wagon. Ainscough has obviously worked on his taking of high balls and was confident and didnt miss one. But then you get some idiot who has to say but he didn't jump for any. In my view, unless he is a kangaroo, there is no need to jump around like a demented rabbit unless you need to. Shouldn't we be giving credit to him and the coaching staff for improving. After all the youngsters need SL experience against more seasoned players who may highlight weaknesses as isn't that what the coaching staff are paid thousands of pounds to get any weaknesses improved?
Any references to attitude is in my view insulting. What attitude does a player who gives one hundred percent every game and trains hard show? Good I would say.
I personally think he has improved from last season and hopefully will be greater in years to come. Makes me wonder why no one picks holes in the hyped up sam tomkins who has been little different to lukewarm this season.
Some so called Wigan supporters make me ashamed to be from Wigan! As I'm sure a couple of games lost and they will be back to booing from the stands!'"
Well said.
