I think Shaun has shown enough guts that any high balls sent his way he'll challenge for 100%.

Btw, is the magic weekend on BBC or is it sky??

He certainly did struggle with teams who picked him out

Will Noble shock us all and put him at fullback with Pat on the wing I hope not, I’m sure the coaching staff have been training Shaun for pressure under the highball at kick off and in play. As for Ade the Aussies must have been wetting themselves when we had him to offer in the world cup doesn’t work to well without Gidley does he.

Ainscough can take a high kick (see the Danny Brough kick in the highlights as an example).

I really wish our coach would come and back Ainscough up "bring it on" or "he can handle any pressure" but he has already come out and criticised Ainscough after that four try defeat so he would be contradicting himself.

I would have been/will be shocked if Ainscough didn't get a lot of kicks his way anyway. He is an easy target, he's young, not that tall and has made a few errors previously under high kicks so to me it seems an obvious thing to do. Hardly requires any deep thinking into it really so I'm not that concerned.

We should target Meli all day long. Richards v Meli he has no chance.

It surely won't take rocket scienece for a superleague coach and ex international and grand final winning coach to come up with a plan of protecting Ainscough abit more!

I'd basically just swap him and his centre around on the last play if it's coming down his side and tell Ainscough to get in a position where he can sweep up any lose ball if anybody loses/parries it.

Theres other things they could do if needs be.

We'd have Gidley running through him all day on the 5th if that happened IMO.

Thats the downside to the plan and why i'm not a superleague coach :lol:

I think at the end of the day maybe they just have to trust him to play on his wing and defend the kicks that come his way but the one thing the team has to do is not leave him as isolated as he's been a times so far when dealing with these kicks.

The space between him and his centre for the 2 kicks on Sunday was criminal.
