I noticed that when he made that break but got ran down but in fairness he had just beat 2 defenders.

I liken him to Brian Carney rather than Jason Robinson.

His running style certainly reminds me of Jason Robinson.

I was actually thinking the other way around to be honest. Carney was very quick over the full distance whereas Robinson, like Ainscough, was electric over the first 30-40 but wasn't the fastest over the full track.

I seem to recall reading something about speed when he was at Wigan. May have been in an interview I think. Apparently, he was quickest over 40m but Radlinski, Dallas and Renouf were all faster over 100m.

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.


in all honesty how often do players go on over a 40m break?

The amount of young Wigan players that go on to play for other clubs has actually made watching the opposition a lot more interesting for Wigan fans and its been interesting to see how the likes of Luke Robinson, Stephen Wild, Kevin Brown, Shaun Briscoe etc have performed since being shown the door.

Ainscough has suprised few people that saw him develop in the academy, he's a very confident player and as has already been mentioned he has been one of the few highlights of the season so far for Wigan.

Hope he stays grounded.

Me too. This is something which all young players need to do to become very successful, having the talent and staying grounded are definitely two fundamental attributes of a young player. I hope Shaun can do it.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Reminds me of Jason Robinson in that respect. Same explosive pace as you say over the first 40 or so metres, then seems to tail off.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

No known famous fans. Town apparently goes into hibernation when rugby league season ends.
