Ainscough and Goulding píss all over Mathers and Phelps they should keep them two out the team the rest of the season.

The first post was intended to be sarcastic. You will see my thoughts on Ainscough throughout this forum, and non are negative.

Need to put an emote in or use inverted commas in places if you want to convey sarcasm. I've backed you on the Noble issue and will continue to, however, I won't not take the michael when something like that presents itself

Re Ainscough - I was listening to GMR as I was not available for the game but the lad appeared to play well, bags of confidence and effort. Expect him to go back to the Reserves but only to polish his game a little, after all, he's still v young and only just out of the academy.

Didn't think anyone would take me seriously!!

Goulding isn't, yes he might be a nice lad and have lost some weight, but my god, his defence is shockingly bad. He gets flack for being ball greedy but his real weakness is his defence, he gets skinned all ends up all to often.

Him and Phelps are both average. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ainscough should keep his place though, no question.

Ainscough looked promising but Goulding had a hard time against Shenton

Was this due to the tactic of Wigan walking 3 steps forward and holding allowing the fastest centre in Sl the space to get up to full speed and take the outside line?

Was not there so its a genuine question.

His defence is though, he was beaten all ends up for both Cas's tries at the end of the first half. Massively at fault.

Phelps is no better, but he is no worse, and would have scored the chances at Hull that Goulding fluffed.

I will now cause meltdown - Bailey needs to play in that centre position until we get back on track.
