Jim Mills was overweight for years. When he trimmed down he became sensational.

for some reason noble seems to think that roberts is better than ainscough even though ainscough as scored 5 times more tries

I like Roberts, but the thing that annoys me with him is, that he actually gets up there, manages to catch the ball but drops it on his way down, theres nothing wrong with his ability to catch a high ball he just needs to work on keeping hold of it under pressure.
He has great footwork and speed and links up really well with Gleeson and Roberts, he wasnt our worst player on the field on Saturday and hes not been our worst player all season. Whether people like it or not he's here for the next 3 years so instead of knocking his confidence and slating him at every opportunity maybe we should actually support him and get him back on form. He is not the worst winger in the league, i would have him over Gardner, Meli, Hodgson and many others, in fact the only players in the league i would have on the wing over him thats not at wigan is Hicks, Donald and Hall.
The only thing that worries me though is that with Roberts and Richards here till 2012 and 2013 respectively where does that leave Ainscough in the future? He wont want to wait that long.

Why at half time didn't Noble change the team around? I mean come on, fair enough he dropped one ball and they scored, everyone makes mistakes, but giving warrington 3 tries cost us the game. He really needes to work on his catching practice, he backs away to easy.

De ja vu x 347.9

they hammerd us with king on ainscough at HJ an nobby did newt about that neither

Who else you gonna put on?

And then they target the other side... simple as that.

People don't realise that it's the same in every team, not just Wigan.

But King isn't on the other side.

I'm not saying it's ideal, it's just what people have been mentioning on this thread.

But those trys were only conceded because he was up against matt king - hicks wouldnt have scored them, king didnt even have to jump he is a giant, its just like us with Pat Richards, we used to use it all the time last year and now we dont seem to do it!!

If Wigan had swapped Richards and Roberts around what do you think Warrington would have done?

So what your all saying is that Roberts is just not good against a taller player?

I agree with that.
