I find this strange as it was announced at the Crusaders game he was on a year long loan to us...

I suspect he's at Widnes on dual-contract which gives Wigan greater flexibility in the event of injuries.

The "year-long" deal is a bit of a red herring given it contains a 48-hr recall clause.

I heard it's something to do with Ainscoughs contract and the bonus he gets for playing a certain amount of matches for Wigan this may put Wigan over the salary cap and he's got bored and signed for Widnes???? all hear say though!!!!

more like he didnt want to be involved with cas anymore i bet with whats been going on of late

Why would Wigan care if they go over the salary cap? They never have before. Warrington are probably over it already anyway.

Spot on mate, he isn't as good as Jordan in defence and Jordy also gives us lots more options with his versatility!

On sporting life it says we said we no longer needed him.

Too right, who needs 17 tries in 11 games.

Theres more to rl than scoring tries, he is defensivley very weak, and was costing us more points than he was scoring, rather play jordan thompson there, homegrown, much better defensivley and knows how to score.

And probably on less money as well.

Would we have been paying Ainscough if he was on loan?

I reckon we almost certainly were paying a percentage of his wages.

doubt that Wigan pay the youngsters next to nowt!

Who knows? i do know that thompson is a far more rounded player and doesnt cost us as many tries, against salford he made a fantastic try saving tackle that left the salford player holding his ribs, we never saw anythiong like that from ainscough.
