I've ius read that S.R is putting him on the wing for tommorows game i think they should play Briscoe as he was really good against saints and Jamie.A has only just come back from injury!!

You really have lost it big time.Ainscough has not played for weeks and weeks and niether has Cassidy.Why do you feel the need to slate two valuable members of the team? Cassidy is the best second rower we have and Ainscough has proved himself in the wing position.What is the point of such a silly message when niether have done anything wrong?

I would agree with Kamloops that Ainscough should go although he has been an asset to us on the wing dont think he has had the anticipated impact and taking all things into consideration (wages, replacements) i think that he should be released. As for the Cassidy situation i cant believe that you would want him to leave the club. Mick is the kind of player every club needs although not blessed with the best hands or pace he is tireless in deffence and making the hard yards and i for one would keep him at the club for a long time to come in the future. From what i have seen of him the young lad who came off the bench against Saints (Robinson?) looks like he could eventually take up the mantle when Mic does hang up his boots hopefully not for a long time to come yet though.

I don't agree with the original comments on Ainscough but I do feel he hasn't made the kind of impact that we've been looking for and I'd give Briscoe a chance ahead of him.

On Cassidy I don't agree at all - the man is Wigan thru and thru and we need him in the team. My only worry is that hes not gettting any younger and seems to be picking up more injuries now than in the old days. But a fully fit Cassidy is a definite - especially for a game against the Dulls.

Oi Kamploops have you gone mad???? Ainscough has scored TWICE for us this season you div!!! And Cas cannot be measured by his attacking play he's an old schooler and does the basics very well. Flair wont get you anywhere, you need a bit of GRIT!!!

You must be a part time fan! Oooh its rainin tonight I'm off to me sofa to watch the match

Well,another good display by Ainscough tonight showed that he is a very good winger.He showed some real speed for his try tonight and he never stopped trying all the way through the match.He was as good as any other player and does not deserve this constant criticism from people.

Not tonight he doesn't. I have said it a million times the reason he gets slagged off is he's not a centre and that is what he came over to be. If we had brought him over as a winger maybe opinions (mine included) would be different.

Tonight he did indeed show some real pace for his try.

But at the moment I feel its not the time to be slagging off the players. The support they are getting in the stadium is terrific because we all know we are up against it injury-wise. We are all dissapointed with tonights result but every player on the pitch deserves a pat on the back. They were not all perfect and did make a few mistakes but so did the Bradford players. Bradford were just lucky.

I think there is a real backs-to-the-wall team spirit developing and I am sure it is in part down to the support they are getting at the JJB so (and I never thought I would say this) leave Ainscough alone!.
