I THOUGHT AINSCOUGH HAD A GOOD GAME??

he as been wigan's best forward! for about 2 years although he does have lapses in concentration and still offloads the ball in silly positions EVERY game but overall i would keep him

Quite why you're comparing a highly paid overseas star to a bloke who hadn't played RL until a few years ago and will be on comparative peanuts is beyond me. And comparing him to Fielden is like comparing him to me.

He has been our main weapon for the last 2 years without him we would have been in a much worse position. He is prone to the defensive lapse but in my opinion it is worth the failings from what he adds to the team.

What frustrates me is when he does make a half break more often than not he has to turn to offload losing much of the momentum why we do not have either a hooker or a half on his shoulder when he gets his body through the line.

Look at the last play of the Celtic game. Feka gets through the line hands free looking for someone on his shoulder McIllorum is nowhere to be seen neither is any support.

The lack of movement off the ball and support/work for each other is quite frankly shocking.

End of the day Maurie went to the WC this summer as England’s impact prop and currently plays the same role as Feka but in arguably the top team in SL so who else am I going to compare him against? The 80min ginger freak or maybe Peacock or is it you can’t handle the fact that Feka walks all over Maurie in every department so you make excuses like he’s not been playing that long to make yourself feel better?



The Fielden comparison wasn’t for your benefit believe it or not but it showed that Feka isn’t the defensive liability some on here say he is.

Feka has made half as many tackles as Fielden and Half as many missed tackles as well so if Feka is a defensive liability in the Wigan side then so is Fielden.

So if I can’t compare Feka to Maurie or another prop who plays in the same team as him who can I btw?
