His effort in a losing cause on Friday was superb. He never gave in and gave a great winger in Scott Donald a tough night.
He's been the highlight for me of a poor start to our season but with lads like him and Tomkins i'm convinced we're heading in the right direction.

The futures bright with Sam Tomkins and Shaun Ainscough and the likes of Liam Farrell, Lee Mossop and Ben Davies etc in the future.

just hope his good form continues, with a good run in the first team those rough edges will be smoothed off, then we will have a top class player

Out of Brian Noble's 19 for Salford nine have come through the Wigan academy. Hock, O'Loughlin, Joel & Sam Tomkins, Hansen, McIlorum, Prescott, O'Carroll, Ainscough.
Excellent is that!

Thought he had Donald's (probably the best winger in the league) number
He got on the outside of him, beat him for pace and strength and put him in touch the one time Donald tried to get on his outside
Anyone notice in the 2nd half when Leeds broke and Donald had Ainscough to beat and decided to boot the ball into the stand

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I'm made up for Ainscough, he's done really well.
But, his lack of pace over a distance is a concern.
It's something I've noticed at academy level. He has the strength and acceleration but not sustained pace over more than 40 metres.
He is young, but if I had anything to do with it he would be sent to a sprint coach to help him develop that part of his game.
If any of you have a chance watch the second academy test v Australia in Brisbane last year, and you'll see what I mean.
