I don't think his height is an issue. There was one kick I can recall that he and 2 cas players went up for (Ainscough sandwiched between them) and Ainscough was the one who came down with the ball.

But Cas scored their first try of the second half from a kick that he didn't collect. What Wigan may have to do is to swap Ainscough and Carmont around for the last kick defense plays, or at least give him better protection.

There were two kicks were there seemed to be no communication between Carmont and Ainscough. One Ainscough came up with the ball, the other Cas scored. A little more time together and this should be sorted.

Like Endo man says the kick Cas scored from looked like a bit of confusion between Ainscough and Carmont. In my personal opinion a few more games together will iron out any issues (if Noble doesn't drop Ainscough). Overall a very impressive debut. Don't you dare drop him Brian

How about a backline of

Richards
Ainscough
Pryce
Carmont
Roberts

Ainscough would get necesary protection from Pryce

I would also like to see Roberts with a quality centre inside him

Now we just need to see Sam get his chance and move Tommy to hooker (his best position)

Looks good to me (or should I say for mine)

Myself and Rogues I think went with a similar backline whilst talking on the way back home. Phelps needs to be dropped IMO, he's wasted unless we have an injury to one of those players.

Do you mean Phelps or Goulding?
