M.o.m. by a mile today.

The variety and accuracy oh his passing was superb.

That's two very good games from him in the last two weeks.

Please keep it up.

I agree easily MOM today. Do it next week Timmy.

Chuffed to bits to hear that, had a word with him last week and congratulated him for his performance against Celtic and came across as a real nice bloke.

He's certainly got the talent and there's no doubt in my mind that if Wigan are going to have any kind of success this year, they need Tim Smith in form.

Lockers was my mom but Smith was right up there.

He's being protected now in defence and is confidence looks high in attack. He's being allowed to play his own game which helps and suits playing alongside more direct players like Tomkins and Leuluai.

I've said before that if people run for Smith he'll give them good quality ball and he's done that again today.

Very good.

Yeah i was very impressed with him today controlled things well, still not too sure about his defense but please keep it up.

m.o.m.LOL.what does ainscough have to do

IMO If he plays like this all season he will be the the decider to either a play off finish or not. Its obvious he has the skill because he has shown it in the past two matches all he needs to do now is keep it up.

I'm quick to criticise Gardner as a guy who just puts the ball over the line and Ainscough didn't have to do much more then that today.

He played very well but Smith, Coley and O'Loughlin were Wigans best 3.

Didn't S Tomkins go through the line a lot today?

Stop leaking tries.

He did in the last 25mins or so.

He made 2 amazing jinking runs near the end

Tomkins line breaks today were very good wakey defenders couldnt keep hold of him haa

our best winger. might make mistakes in befence but he no the way to the line. if it's just a case of putting the ball over the line why doesn't Roberts, pryce do the same?

I rate Ainscough as the brightest talent in the game today, and have banged his drum on here for the last 2 years, but scoring 4 tries does not make you the MOTM. Smith ran the show, finally showing his quality. If he continues as he is and is willing to stay i would like to see him move to 7 next year with Tomkins taking the 6 shirt.

That being said Ainscoughs ability to finish is sometning very very special and in honesty I would not trade him for any other winger in RL at the moment, thats not to say he is the best player in the game on the Wing but he very well could be in a few years time.

im chuffed to bits that smith has been playin well these last 2 weeks, iv said it since we got him he will be a great player,ok his defence isnt the best but you very rarely get a quality ball handler and a qaulity defender in one package,something that must show to our fans and no disrespect for s tomkins but the last 2 times smith has played wigan have put 40 points on the board something we only did once with sam, but well played wigan

We play the majority of our attacking play down the left side.

I'm not taking anything away from the lad because he had to take in a couple of difficult passes to get those trys but we shouldn't make him out to be the worlds best(yet) when he cleary has things to work on.

I'm made him he's our player though and he will go on and become a superstar.

Hope we sort him a new deal out asap.

What winger can tackle i can name a winger at saints sorry make that 2 that cant tackle.

Bit hypocritical?

exactly no one calls for gardners head because he does a wingers job - he has a great centre who protects him defensively and that is what ainscough needs

It wasn't his tackling it was AGAIN his defending of kicks.

We can't just pretend it didn't happen because he scored four tries.

Exactly.

It isn't calling the lad just for the sake of it but it's a little flaw he has in his game that he needs to fix up.

If he does then WOW! He's going to be some player because even at the minute he's easily outscoring any mistakes he may make. If he cut them out then what a player we have.

Im really happy for Smithy he hasn’t had an easy time so far at Wigan being out played by Sam and put back In the reserved but he has responded brilliantly and been professional about it by improved his game, he is obviously a really good talent. Keep it up Tim.

It would seem Noble dropping Smith has done him the world of good. He has come back in and is playing to our pattern and shining. Credit to both coach and player.

His first half performance was a joy to watch. The passes for the first two tries were world class.

I would say we are very niave if we do not expect him to be targeted. We need to protect him much more than we are at the moment in my opinion.

Kicks on the floor he has no excuse for dealing with but under the high ball we need to give him more protection as it is something that no matter how hard he tries he is going to struggle on, i would personally suggest on last tackle plays in our "danger zone" he drops swaps place with the centre.
