Well done to the lad for his debut try.

Could've been a hat-trick but for forward passes or Gansons wonky eyes

Good old Ganson - I wish e wud fek off to Oz like his mate the clown

Well personally i am shocked he had a good game, never thought he had anything about him that would cause Sl defences problems.

Another referee and he would have had hattrick tonight. I think the first was ok and cpouldn't believe he brought it back but the other was forward.

His enthusiam was great to see, wish the others were the same.

Excellent debut





He will be dropped next week.

How's about this for the Wigan team we'll never get to see.

1. S Briscoe
2. Ainscough
3. Goulding
4. Aspinwall
5. Ashton
6. Tomkins
7. Robinson
8. Farrell
9. Newton
10. Prescott
11.Wild
12. Tomkins
13. O'Loughlin

14. Higham
15. Hock
16. Mossop
17. O'Carroll

OK, I know they're not all world beaters but they would surely play with a passion and pride that you Wigan supporters aren't seeing at the moment.

he was quite possibly outstanding.
im so glad i got 28 on my cheek at beginning of match.
he even played with an injured ankle. shows he's no puff.
well done anyways i knew he could do it.
i had no doubts. (:






+ did anyone notice that the scoreboard stayed as wigan v wakefield for half of the match

?

Reminded me of Brian Carney alot in terms of the way he plays the game. Alot of power and acceleration. A must stay in the team now.

You can just see it can't you.

Superb debut from Shaun, he was at the heart of so many things that we did well. His breaking the line and intelligent ball play was fantastic to watch.

Agreed, great feet aswell - Jason Robinsonesque may i add!

He was excellent tonight, he came inside looking for work all the time, has crafty footwork, and good pace, and linked up with the play well quite a few times. He has confidence too and backed himself on the outside... all that whilst limping throughout the whole of the second half! He looks like a similar player to Brett Dallas.

like i said pre match i feared him much more than the tried and tested phelps etc.
a couple more local lads with his drive you would of beat us tonight.
reading on here its fairly obvious where the troubles lay at your club but how long before the powers that be see it.

He was the highlight of a very grim game. His enthusiasm was refreshing compared to some of the more senior players who seem to come across as if they couldn't give a stuff.

If he's not the first name on the team sheet next week then Noble wants shooting. He did enough tonight to justify a place in the team for next week.

Been saying since i first saw him he has Robinsons agility and Carney's power, the lad is going to be a superstar. He has the personality, that some may not like off the field, to make it as well, something other players with potential have lacked.

[size=200What a sensational debut...!!!!![/size







Very very impressed with him. No doubt Phelps will take his spot away next week.

He had better not! He was the one shining light tonight.

Great to see a young player taking the oposition on without fear.

Don't think he'll play next week though, he could hardly walk in those yellow boots he had on ,he had to change them in the 2nd half. He must have blisters on blisters.

Brian Foley appeared to be giving him some stick about celebrating his try before he put the ball down. But I think it's great to see someone have faith in his own ability, something the rest of the team is lacking.

Is this the same poster on the same thread?

shaun ainscough cannot be dropped! i predicted him to be the stand out player tonight and so it was proved.

karl wernt bad on the other wing either.

Mate i have been calling for Ainscough to get a shot for a year now, i said at the start of last year if he was given a chace he would have been a dark horse for the England world cup squad, as he offers something different.

The first post was made tongue firly in cheek.

Take note noble - this is what happens when you take a risk with the young players who actually want to play for wigan, now give Sam Tomkins a go.

I accept that Jon but it was an Italian style about-face from your first post not one page later! Made me chuckle
