Those players you mention are all far more experienced than Ainscough so what would be the problem in having a go at them had they made such mistakes?
Sorry but you just don't have a worthwhile point here IMO.
Had the two mistakes that Shaun made against Hudds (the first being at 12-10) been made by Roberts/Phelps/Pryce then there would have been countless threads on here calling them every name under the sun.
Today when Sam made an error nobody shouted abuse at him, yet when Piggy/Roberts/Smith/Hock/Lockers/Fielden etc etc made one there was.
It's the Wigan fan mentality that I mentioned on another thread. They either like you or they don't and they usally make their minds up after 5 minutes.
