Does anyone think that Shaun Ainscough will get a game soon or maybe this season! he is Wigans top try scorer and is left out in the reseves! ok hes not very good in the air but... scoring trys is better than conceding them

not bothered im sick of hearing of him, can we not talk about the players who are playin well

No-one deserves to be dropped, he'll have to wait it out simple.

I think Roberts should of been, but he has not done anything wrong since then.

roberts simple has an he s just has bad in the air an concedes trys from kick s just the same only differnce is AINSCOUGH knows were try line is

Salford scored 2 tries from kicks, if my memory serves me well. I blame Ainscough.

Is Ainscough the new Joey Hayes?

he doesn't look retarded

Apart from last Friday you mean.

I heard that he was out round the town a few weeks back and has broken his knuckle on a boxing machine, not sure if this is true but would give a reason for nobby to drop our top try scorer

He played in the reserves last Saturday and scored two tries.

Drop a great winger Roberts, who's slowly getting use to the way the club works and runs.

and play an unproven young lad

Had someone drawn a picture of Nobby on it?

Im sure if Roberts played down the left he would have scored alot more tries. I would keep the team as it is.

So do I.

The one that's performed 5/6 try saving tackles this season, the one thats scored 104 tries in 180 games in the best rugby comp in the world.

He's being dealt with the right way in my opinion. I really want him to play, but say he's gets 3games were his just bombed and bombed. Isn't good for you at all. Once he shows he can deal with the high kicks in the reserves he may get a chance too.

Sick of hearing about it really.

seconded, it will be great to be proven right with roberts comes up to speed with it

I agree mate.

I would love to see Ainscough in the team I really would however at the moment (through no fault of his own) he will be a target and then it will be sink or swim. Either he handles the attention he will uncountable be getting from the opposition and his confidence will be up. Or he fails to deal with them and gets stick from the "I told you so" fans both on here and in the stands.

I feel sorry for the lad, there has been so much hysteria stirred up by us lot that he is at an unfair disadvantage from a lot of young players, saying that, he will have to overcome all these obstacles and more if he is to become one of the top wingers in the game.

The thing that worries me the most is that the form he had earlier in the season came from the confidence he had gained from an initial excellent game and the momentum carried on and on up until he was dropped (unfairly IMO) after a 4 try game at wakey. As we all know confidence is a valuable commodity in sport and that could of been affected by what appears to me as witch hunting by a lot a fans (on here especially).
The one thing that can be guaranteed is that Shaun has a cracking attitude and his hunger to get back in the first team must be massive at the moment. I am certain that when he returns he will exercise his demons and shut the doubters up once and for all

I do know that part of the reason he not playing is the S/C . The clause were a player plays so many first team games has to be counted ..or some like that..i coach the U8s at hindley with his mate.

He ok about it tho and has vowed to train as hard as he can and get better because he knows he is still learning...great attitude from the lad really...

That rumour was rubbished by Ian Lenegan a few weeks back.

The fact there are some "I told you so fans" re Ainscough/Roberts as evidenced by at least one post in this thread amazes me. In my opinion Ainscough's so called problem in defence was over hyped as a justification for Noble dropping him by Noble's supporters on here.

If Ainscough had played like Roberts on Friday it certainly would have been "I told you so" from some fans.

Defensively there is nothing in it between Roberts and Ainscough (look at ttheir stats). Attack-wise Ainscough is ahead by some distance so I really do not see why some are so keen on Roberts unless it is because that would mean disagreeing with Noble.




I think the main person responsible for any confidence sapping is not the fans as there are plenty who can see past the odd mistake but Noble who when asked about Ainscough by the media never fails to add in a negative comment, no dount in my mind to justify the fact he would eventually drop him.



That depends on whether or not they watch his game waiting for the odd error or view his game a whole.

Dave

It's pretty obvious he's been benched because his media image is letting the club down.

After all, we are living in the era where perception is reality.

DON'T BITE

What do you think of Ainscough's defence whilst he's been playing in the reserves?

Afterall, it's those performances where his defence will be judged on.
