That's not strictly true though Conroy.

Amos makes plenty of mistakes and he's not criticised. Phelps gets an easy ride too. After a vgood game v saints I thought the old Phelps returned today. I mean had his name been Goulding and he had not passed in the first half can you imagine the uproar.

I thought Sam might have passed to Gleeson 2nd half when he made a good break.

Maybe but Ainscoughs pro's far far outweigh his cons which is why he should be in the starting 13. I agree with giving him a week off as hes a young lad we need to look after. He'll be back in the 13 next week.

Hang on a minute. When Ainscough (and Tomkins) got their chances there were calls on here to be patient and not slag them off for mistakes. Quite right too. Those players you mention are all far more experienced than Ainscough so what would be the problem in having a go at them had they made such mistakes?

Sorry but you just don't have a worthwhile point here IMO.

If you want to talk about crucifying players as has been mentioned Goulding would have been hung out to dry had he played like Phelps today. That is a far more meaningful comparison.



Not paying Ainscough today was another Noble balls up. IMO Richards didn't look fit yet was risked. Celtic were no threat and Ainscough would have had a field day and we would have all enjoyed it. If Ainscough needs resting then it needs to be done in "the Big One" v Leeds or at Murrayfield v Saints. Games like that. That is a meaningful rest where this duty of care nonsense might gain some creditability.

The game today was made for Ainscough.

Fixed your typo.

How do they contradict each other?

Had the two mistakes that Shaun made against Hudds (the first being at 12-10) been made by Roberts/Phelps/Pryce then there would have been countless threads on here calling them every name under the sun.

Today when Sam made an error nobody shouted abuse at him, yet when Piggy/Roberts/Smith/Hock/Lockers/Fielden etc etc made one there was.

It's the Wigan fan mentality that I mentioned on another thread. They either like you or they don't and they usally make their minds up after 5 minutes.
