Great performance for you guys, impressed me all night long.

Very impressed with the lad - an almost dream debut and didn't deserve to be on the losing side.

Shows the quality of Cas overall when a player who's surplus to requirements at another SL club is the standout player for us.

He's got that bit of spark and when he gets the ball its almost as if you expect him to do something brilliant, very exciting player to watch in the mould of a certain Jason Robinson. Got yourselves a good un there

Didnt seem to confident or enthusiastic about the question of getting a place at Wigan did he???

Might well be a great opportunity for us here? Looked very impressive last night

something not right about them stats, it will be now 24 in 16 appearances does this not ring alarm bells ringing that he is at least worth another punt at wigan

I watched him play last year against Leeds and ball in hand he was very impressive. He has defensive issues - some of which he'll probably always have due to his lack of height - but for goodness' sake I still don't understand what Wigan's thinking is. All he needs is a bit of specialist coaching in defence and to play inside a centre that knows what he's doing in defence.

Whats wrong with Wigans thinking? We've sent him out on loan to a good superleague club to gain some experience whilst he can't get a place in the side. The opportunity was probably there for Wigan to play him last week against Wire but he'd have been up against a 6ft 3 winger who's outstanding in the air in Matt King and that would have been unfair on the lad.

He can't get a place ahead of Roberts or Richards and surely thats understandable. They themselves have scored 13 trys between them in 4 games.

I'm sure Wigans long term plans include Ainscough and he'll be an outstanding player for us but in the meantime he'll keep getting experience and working on his game at Cas. I wouldn't be suprised if he's at Cas for the rest of the year tbh.

id prefer my wingers playing outside the centres. Is this where leeds have gone wrong at the start of this season?

Seperate Ainscough threads merged.

Let's sign him up permanently.

Doubt Wigan would let him go permanently

He has a big future, but once Richards and Phelps have gone he will fill in

I'd be amazed if modern day Wigan let him leave on anything more then loan contracts and I presume they'll try their best to find a solution of getting him into the team for next year.

Phelps and Carmont are off contract and they may look at having a reshuffle of the back line to fit him in.

Phelps would be a good signing to replace Wainwright for us

Phelps has impressed me in the times i've seen him
