| Why didn't he jump for that ball when Gaffa scored?
Oh, he wasn't playing?
Well no one else jumped either.
Drop them until this problem is sorted out.

I thought this might have been about the Reserves match actually. Anyone know the score?

| If it was Ainscough who didn't jump for that ball there would of been a lot of people on his back BUT if he played like Roberts did last night everyone would be creaming themselves over him

No, it's not.
I did my nut last night at that try - for some reason Pat set himself for the catch but chose to take it on the ground - there's always the risk someone will jump in front of you doing that - and they did. He knows better than that.
So it's not 'oki doki' but fortunately it didn't have a bearing on the result and given the times Pat has rescued us, kept us in games, kicked crucial goals and generally been a 'Superman', we can forgive him the very occasional error.
It's when players repeatedly cock up and/or concede points as a result that they deserve prolonged criticism.

You think Richards has a problem under the high ball ?

What makes you think that? No just in the state of shock, it was and Ainscough and King re-run. But then again, Carmont not watching the surrounds didn't help either, giving Richards the call Gafa was flying in would of helped slightly I think.

yeah for one game so far this year. He's one of the safest under the high ball in the league, o i know lets drop him because he got done once.
Ainscough shouldnt have been dropped from the team when he did, BUT he does have a problem under the high ball, its happen numerous times this year and if he is in the side he WILL get targeted. Comparing the two is just stupid.
BUT if ainscough played like roberts did last night, everyone would be saying he's amazing.

true, but i wasn't necessarilly replying towards you, more the whole thread.
Richards' was a mistake, Ainscoughs is a flaw in his game AT PRESENT. Thats the difference.
You ain't gonna tell me any team will be stupid enough to target richards under the high ball!

I said to my Dad when they kicked to Richards "That is a waste of time" How wrong I was. He didn't just miss one high kick towards him by the way, it was two - the other being for the disallowed try. Of course Richards has suddenly not become vulnerable to high kicks, he just had an off night.
The thing is though how many times has Ainscough been caught out with high kicks yet people such as you are telling us he has a flaw in his game? He has only played 13 SL games and people have been very quick to attach this label and IMO it all stems form him making a similar mistake to Richards did last night, failing to jump for the ball. Once.

it's not just happened the once, its happened a couple of times. And i'm not jumping on his back just because of those two kicks. It's because wherever there is a kick near him, he doesn't jump, or even look to attempt to jump. I've not seen any evidence in any of his first team performances that show he has the ability at present to outjump his opposing number.
For the record i believe that Ainscough should be in the side, was undeservedly dropped and has since struggled to get back in the side. If he were to play every week and could then show me that he could indeed at LEAST put pressure on the opposition winger under the high ball then i'll stop going on about it.
Bottom line is, if we played ainscough he would be targetted under the high ball, and from what I have seen he wouldn't be able to defend them sufficiently at present.
