I wish the club would get Stevie in to teach the outside backs and fullbacks the art of catching kicks. Hampo was the best I've ever seen in that department!

Ashton definately, from them tackles yesterday you could of sworn he was Rads in disguise. He's been arguably one of our best players this season pulling off many MOTM performances in my eyes, he's made a few errors but no more than the rest and he's still learning. He's been a constant threat in attack and yesterday immense in defence. He's definately hoping to make that shirt his and i reckon he deserves it.

Ashton undoubtedly. If you are good enough you are old enough and he certainly is good enough.

Well if we can't go and get Briscoe from Hull, then young Ashton will do for mine. He's proved himself there and I think in time will make and excellent fullback.

Agreeing with you again, Dave! I've been watching a lot of the Brisbane Broncos recently, and young Karmichael Hunt has been impressive in every game I've seen. He's the same age as Ashton, give or take a few months.

I really want to see Richard in his favoured wng position as the centre role is patently not working. Yet everybody you talk to even non Wigan supporters believes he was/is a quality player based on West Tigers
