Out of the two I would play Ainscough. Ok his defence is pretty pants but he has scores a shed load of tries in the games he has played for the first team.

I personally think he's had more than 3 or 4 (but that's just my opinion and not necessarily other peoples)

I personally thought ainscoughs try haul was flattering to him, and he hadn't been fantastic in all the games he player (and again that's just my opinion)

It's a team sport and there aren't any quick easy answers, or any guarentees that things would be different if we'd play player X

Your best players, especially the forwards are your young lads ie. Flanagan, Joel Tomkins. The senoir players are the let-downs especially Feka & Fielden. BUT as long as Nobby is in charge Fielden will be in the 17 no matter how bad he plays! Too much like best pals, not player & coach.

Roberts is awful. Why have we signed him for 4 years! 2 years at most, a year to settle and second to play for a contract. Now it looks like we're stuck with a donkey who can't attack or defend. He bombed at least one try and didn't even have the foresight to attempt to stop the ball going out of play.

I'd much rather have Ainscough in the team; a far better attacking threat and tbh much better in defence too and at least he actually cares and has some pride.

Smith got it right with the way he played King. Run straight at the channel where Tomkins stands, tie up Gleeson with dummy runners so he can't fill in and that just leaves Roberts to help.

Big man v small man wins most of the time

I think Bailey going off didn't help and Sam is usually a good defender but tackling King on the burst was too much for him

I won't be suprised to see other teams in the future use the same tactics against us

King only made real ground when Bailey went off. We need a big 2nd row to play right side defence with Gleeson to protect Sam T & Roberts.
