Could just be that Ainscough can't defend for toffee? Or that he can't be bothered catching the kick off after he has scored a try? Or that he caused trouble on the plane coming home from France??

Well they could be a factor

as far as I know, he hasnt been injured - Potter seems to be alternating Eastmond and Wheeler within the 17 man squad each week...

He was injured in the Bradford game ... he was rested as a precaution for the Wigan game after the scan on his arm showed the damage to be a little worse than was expected. He is fit and available for selection for Sunday.

He can defend and he did NOT cause any trouble on the plane coming back from France.

His problem has been his positioning when defending kicks, something that seems common with many wingers today.

Alot of people were raving about Dixon earlier in the season before he got injured - when's he back and, if it weren't for injury, do we think he'd be infront of Ashurst in the pecking order?

Yes
He was due back mid June but heard he is progressing much better than expected, therefore back towards the end of May

Liedersplien no doubt.

It was indeed, there are some dreadful restaurants using the 'Argentinean' name - but when you get to an authentic one, some great quality and flavours. My beloved insists we eat at one every time she joins me - either at Gouchos (opposite the the Crowne Plaza Hotel) or El Ranchos down at Liedersplien.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if Wheeler goes on to achieve more than Eastmond.
