Young Shaun Ainscough He came to the game last week & I didn’t realise it was him at first, obviously he’s a bit older & has filled out from the scrawny lad I knew & watched.

He came up to me in my seat, he said "I saw you & couldn’t go past without stopping & saying hello". He had one of his young lads with him, think he has five children now.

Anyway he usually sits in the West stand but was sitting in the East stand because his lads teammates were in that stand.

"He said to his lad " Say hello to Josie, she watched me when I played in the academy, U20’s & then first team for Wigan & followed us home & away, she’s a special lady".

I said I was a lot younger & fitter then but thank you for remembering me Which I thought was nice a lot of our ex players still remember me which is nice.

There’s not really as much interaction with our young lads now. Some know you but a lot of others aren’t so sure. Different generations I suppose now.

Wasn't it Castleford? No idea why that popped into my head.

Thompson has been noticeably less effective overall without playing badly. Dupree, Byrne and Mago have all been pretty poor, so we've gone from having a fearsome pack that was the backbone of our success built on long minutes from Thompson, Havard and Ellis
on top form to a pack that's capable of being outplayed on a regular basis. Nsemba was also influential last year but aside from the Warrington game he's been less effective this year too.
