I was just going to sugest this, it is exactly what he needs in my opinion, a month by month rolling loan would suit us down to the ground, it would give his fitness a much needed boost, allow us to check on his attitude against other experienced pro's and means he does not have to wait till the reserves (which is a lower standard anyway i feel) to get started prior to even being considered for first team action with Wigan.

Ainscough to start vs Cas.

Excellent idea. So it will be lost on club management.

Aint going to happen

Saw Pryce in Boots today buying a Ped-Egg, he said " Once I get these bunions under control watch me go "

All the fitness in the world is no use when you have no heart...

It works for Ade Gardner !!

Ainscough needs game time this year or i can see him defo going to Union. When are kids do well and take there chance they are still shoved back in pecking order. its stupid

Dont you get it, its all part of Nobles grand vision, let the kids go to Rah rah, then sign them back on massive contracts using his salary cap credit thing for signing RU Players.

Hope i'm wrong but i think Pryce will never do anything at Wigan. Even when he hit form at Bradford as a young lad i thought he could do so much more with the right attitude.

Don't think anyone should get there hopes up that this guy will kick-start our season.

Good point spud. Oldham perchance?

He'd be a perfect replacement for Mick Nanyn too.

who are these people who say we should play ainscough - You obviously have no idea - Yeah he had a good game against Warrington, but we were playing against kids - People who he plays week in week out in the reserves.

Ainscough would not be a handful - He's fast, but thats it - Like someone else said, he's a no brainer.

Why do people think that the likes of Sam Tomkins etc. can save Wigan? Based on pre-season games against kids... We've got an awsome squad as it is, your just being impatient - They aren't ready to play yet - Sam Tomkins would get thrown around the field against the likes of Saints and Leeds, as would Shaun A.

But Wigan are not playing Saints or Leeds this weekend.

Prepare to be slaughtered

I expect it with most of my posts - People don't like hearing the truth, that's why they reply in such a way - Yeah they're entitled to their opinion, but come on, let's be real eh?

what about against cas?

Look back through my posts and I've always suggested a softly softly approach with the younger players.

However, IF we have injuries like we appear to have, then particularly as we are playing one of the lower teams then Ainscough or Tomkins should be given a chance.

You aren't really telling the truth though

People want to see the likes of Ainscough and S.Tomkins because they are very good, young players that have come through the ranks and think they can do just as good if not better job than the likes of Phelps etc.

They are the future of the club but if they aren't getting games there is wasted potential.

The RFL have introduced the license system so that young talents such as Ainscough and Tomkins can come through and develop into top players. This system has proven extremely successful in Australia but if we aren't going to take advantage we will always be stuck with aussie rejects when we all want to see young Wigan talents develop into the top class players we know they can be. Yes it will take time and patience but it will definitely be worth it

re: ainscough starting


you will prove to be correct, coley will probably be back into the fray = all sorted as far as the Mr Noble is concerned.... shame really

Castleford at home is ideal to play Tomkins or Ainscough as would Salford and Celtic be too. Saints or Leeds they shouldn't be anywhere near.
Hull played Paul King, Thackray & Manu (thugs r us) they'd have killed Tomkins or Ainscough!
Noble's got it right!

He hasn't played Ainscough or Tomkins yet

Yeah i'd love to see them play, Sam's quality, he's fast, he's skillful, clever... He's exciting to watch - But what i'm saying is, Noble's right not playing him - He knows when to bring him in - He's not ready yet - You could see that at Warrington, he was a little ball greedy, and did a few stupid things - Even though he scored a hatrick.

It's debatable though i'll give you that - Because with Daz Goulding, he got offered a first team game, and look at him now - he's a first team regular at Number 3 - But then again, that wasn't with Noble at coach - And Noble is by far a better coach who knows what he's doing.

He won't be playing Ainscough or Sam against Cas, and if he does i'll be suprised - If you ask me, he should put them on loan, see how they do.

lenaghan said pre-season that there wouldn't be any players loaned out.
if we leave them too long it could be another mark flanagan. remember that best in the country school boy we snatched from under the noses of bradford and a host of the other clubs?
he's now 21 and has played no more than a handful of first team games.
