If he keeps these performances up definitely, hes what we have been lacking direct attacking back play.

You can call Hodgey a Wiganer he still lives in Wigan ( Hawkley Hall )

He deserves a call up to the England team in the summer playing like this.

Couldn't ask for better. Well done lad.

Fantastic - a superb young winger who can only get better, especially with a good centre alongside him.

A good all round player - perhaps the closest that I have seen in style to Jason Robinson...............let's hope that Robinson doesn't poach him for Sale Sharks.

I said at this stage last year if he had been given a run early doors he could have been a dark hourse for a Wold Cup spot, i see nothing that contradicts this from his performances this year.

Yes he has flaws and is far from the finished article but he has bags of natural talent and ability and is only going to get better, with more games under his belt.

1-2 tries each game will do for me!
Keep going Shaun, well done lad!!!!

The lad has been exceptional so far and deserves the trys he's been getting for all the hardowrk he puts in for the team. His effort in a losing cause at Leeds really impressed me the most because it showed a willingness never to give in.

Even without the trys the work the lad does for the team is fantastic. He's making rafts of metres and tackle busts and thats taking energy out of the opposition defences.

Would be interesting to know how many of them tries were setup by George Carmont. He should also be taking some of the credit for setting up a number of those tries.

This is my unofficial tally of assists which I base on the last passing player/kicking player/or phase of play before the try.

No Player Total
1 Shaun Ainscough 3
2 George Carmont 3
3 Thomas Leuluai 3
4 Mark Riddell 3
5 Mike McIlorum 2
6 Sean O'Loughlin 2
7 Pat Richards 2
8 Tim Smith 2
9 (Interception) 2
10 Phil Bailey 1
11 Darrell Goulding 1
12 Gareth Hock 1
13 Amos Roberts 1
14 Joel Tomkins 1
15 Sam Tomkins 1
16 (Play the Ball) 1

Of course players may have been involved without providing the final pass but its a rough idea.
