His passes are exceptional, the speed he gets on them gives the defenders no chance.

Keep it up!


I just wish he would take the line on now and again. In all honesty how many people have you seen him beat since he came to Wigan? He needs to take the line on even if it it is only to keep the other team guessing as to what he will do. If he doesn't they will just stand off him and take out the runners.
The guy has great hands but he needs to do a bit more to convince me.






I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.

He has never been a half back to take the line on, when he won the rookie of the year in the NRL his try assists were sky high. Search him on you tube and he was playing the way he played yesterday, setting up tries all over the show.

We have TL and Sam to take the line on.

Sounds like Smith is coming good with a bit of protection in defence.

Looking forward to seeing him play on Saturday, should be a good game.

Am I right in thinking Ainscough wasn't in the original squad? Makes Noble wanting to rest him look a bit silly . . . .

Cant do a lot if players get hurt between the squad announcement and the game you have to draft someone in

Correct. Only in because of the late withdrawal of Carmont. And for some reason the couple of mistakes Ainscough made dealing with kicks seems to get mentioned all the time as if the only good thing he did all game was score four walk in tries.

It's no surprise Noble mentions this because he needs his excuse to drop him whenever he wants to do that next but I am bit surprised fans are mentioning it so much.

I think FTV meant Noble looked silly for not picking him in the original 19 regardless.

Personally I think Ainscough just needs coaching on it. What does it matter if he concedes 2 tries through kicks if he scores 4 down the other end?

Dallas and Carney used to concede on kicks quite often because both of them were so small compared to the likes of Vainakolo, Vaikona and Bai.

Well just show we all interpret things differently the way i read it he was saying Noble looked silly saying he was going to rest him then picking him in the squad.

He's young, it's game awareness that will come with game time.

I can understand people saying he can learn that in the reserves, but the lack of any real pressure and the inferior kick/chase suggest to me he needs to do his learning on the wing for the first team.

Looks a cracking player, love his attitude. I've no doubt he'll overcome any frailties with kicks - he looks to be the type of lad who'll work hard at his game.
