Ainscough's second try : Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:38 am  

But seriously, how good does this kid look? He has a certain swagger about him, a self assurance that he is good, and it will only serve him to do better.

He finishes his tries really well and looks like a future England international.

Wonder when Wigan will let him go? Wont be long now.

Ref should have spotted it but never mind. I thought he might have been off-side for his first as well.

Having said that, looks like he has plenty of quality - imagine him playing outside a Gidley or Lyon.

Shouldn't do interviews though.

I agree. He needs to sort out his kick defence though and showed inexperiance when he stayed on the line for Gidleys try. He looks better than Penny though and will score a lot this year. There are a few good young kids coming through at all the clubs now.

The only fault I can see in his game is some of his kick returns. A lot of the time he runs across the field looking for a gap instead of going forward and making yards.

Looks a good prospect, he's quick aswell. Finishes well, but he may struggle when competing for high balls with wingers who are taller than him - I was expecting Saints to target this last night.

Nah he was onside for the first, he is quicker than he looks

And im sure he'll get some media training

It amazes me how refs read games for forward passes. Some will pick up for passes inches forward, yet the one like tonight was 2 metres forward and let go.
True it was a great finish from the lad, but should have been pulled up.

He looks a decent player with a lot of heart and confidence. He will become an England international almost by default as it's not like we're overflowing with quality in that position. He's not going to be a superstar, but he should make a decent winger for them if they don't ruin him like they do so many other young players.
