I watched him play last year against Leeds and ball in hand he was very impressive. He has defensive issues - some of which he'll probably always have due to his lack of height - but for goodness' sake I still don't understand what Wigan's thinking is. All he needs is a bit of specialist coaching in defence and to play inside a centre that knows what he's doing in defence.
Whats wrong with Wigans thinking? We've sent him out on loan to a good superleague club to gain some experience whilst he can't get a place in the side. The opportunity was probably there for Wigan to play him last week against Wire but he'd have been up against a 6ft 3 winger who's outstanding in the air in Matt King and that would have been unfair on the lad.
He can't get a place ahead of Roberts or Richards and surely thats understandable. They themselves have scored 13 trys between them in 4 games.
I'm sure Wigans long term plans include Ainscough and he'll be an outstanding player for us but in the meantime he'll keep getting experience and working on his game at Cas. I wouldn't be suprised if he's at Cas for the rest of the year tbh.
