St Helens coach Mick Potter has warned Wigan his side will test the mettle of teenage tryscoring sensation Shaun Ainscough if his counterpart Brian Noble decides to risk him in Saturday's derby at Murrayfield.
For every try he may be at fault for he will probably score 3
AINSCOUGH WILL FACE AERIAL ASSAULT - POTTER
St Helens coach Mick Potter has warned Wigan his side will test the mettle of teenage tryscoring sensation Shaun Ainscough if his counterpart Brian Noble decides to risk him in Saturday's derby at Murrayfield.
What sort of risk is it playing a guy thats got 16 trys in 10 games including 2 against Saints and had Ade 'fall over the line' Gardner in his back pocket for the match.
You live and learn by your mistakes and if he's made any he's always bounced right back.
Quote:Meanwhile, Ainscough's overall total for the season went up to 17 today after he was officially credited with four tries in Wigan's 32-20 Challenge Cup fourth-round win at Barrow earlier this month.

Hopefully we'll pay no notice to those comments what so ever.
He's only trying to encourage Noble to stack on one side which will obviously stretch our defence to wait for the high kick to Ainscough's wing when within our own 30/40M.
If we do that, then they'll just run and score every fouth/fifth tackle, probably.

He's possibly trying to convince Noble to leave him out alltogether as they're shaking in their boots at the prospect of him tearing Ade no mark to bits again
