As Lo Hek might say "Man with a good source deserve to be Bummed" (well he has shafted you on this one ey

Not your clubs fault i am just annoied with the system.I have seen widnes shafted a few times so not bitter much. Leigh have blythe,mitchell,mccarthy from wire and jacob emmitt from saints.RFL just do not care about championship teams as if we are nobody.I have lost interest in watching internationals and superleague due to no promotion and relegation.I hope next franchise announcements widnes can have a shot at superleague.
Goodluck with ainscough but i am just angry with them RFL knobbers.

Total disgrace , so now we have triple contract players , why not just have a weekly auction for who plays where

Yet another kick in the nuts for Championship clubs and fans

Great coup for us even if it is only a months loan, hopefully we can extend it

Proven tryscorer and good pace!

I remember him ripping into us at BV, cracking player and a good deal for Cas.

Surely the point of the dual contract system is to develop plays by giving them a higher grade of "reserve" rugby? The reserve league isnt the best so this helps that.

It cant be in the players interest to chop and change like this? Two clubs systems is a challenge but worth it as the system would work. To then loan him to a 3rd party is a nonsense?

The system should stay as it is and for instance Cas should have players who they then dual contract with say Featherstone. Then when such an occurance happens they call players back from that club.

Yes, its good for Cas to call on a player of this quality, but surely not for Ainscough, not for Widnes and certainly not for the system.

RL has a habit of messing up its own good ideas!

Its definatley in the best interest of Ainscough to go to Cas and play in Super league, which is a much better quality competition compared to the NL1.

Widnes have agreed to terminate the dual contract agreement, therefore he has no link with them and its just a straight and simple loan to Cas. I'm sure Widnes are still pretty happy with the 2 top quality youngsters they still have on loan from Wigan.

Definitely better for Ainscough, last week he was scoring versus an average Championship 2 side in Swinton, now he's playing against a side who were 4th last year in Super League, so it's a chance for him to show he is SL class & hopefully score a few tries along the way. You'd assume if he goes okay for us & Wigan don't pick up injuries, surely no reason why the loan can't be extended?

I cant argue with the two posts as it is good for Cas and Ainscough - BUT - why establish a system when its clear that the existing loan system seems to be better?

Do one thing and stick with it from the point of view of the RFL. It may well work for Ainscough and Cas, but I can see some players suffering from this type of situation. Im looking at this from the point of view of the whole game.

I'd presume so also especially with us being without Phelps atm meaning Goulding being on the wing. Only way he would be recalled is if there is two outside backs injured at once. But even then we may play Pryce or one of our other youngster to stop Ainscough being disturbed.



I can see were your coming from, but i cant see there being too many situations like this, with Widnes allowing Wigan to cancel the dual agreement they could of refused but i presume they are gratefull for the two players on loan in Farrell and Davies. Plus it wouldnt surprise me if another youngster from Wigan (Charnley) was to go out to Widnes for the time being if they needed him. But they seem to be happy with the players they have returning from injury themselves to replace Ainscough..

I am in full support of signing young ainscough i think he will be a very good player, but what does this say for Thompson is TM saying he not good enough/ready for super league?
