| Wrench is making the odd mistake, but it's his first extended run in the first team in his preferred position, even if Ratchford / Tai would come in and do a slightly better job, we just need to stick with him and allow him to develop, we'll probably lose some games due to no Ratchford goal kicking, but it's a necessary evil I think. Hayes too, even if he was playing at a slightly lower level than Drinkwater atm - which he isn't, he looks much better IMO - he should be kept in there for the long term this year, see how they both do, otherwise how can we see if they are likely first choice players in 2025?
The only reason they should come out is if poor performances could knock longer term development or if physically it's decided they need a rest.
King is doing fine, he's doing the job I expected, excellent in terms of his yardage gains and pretty solid defensively, but still not worth the salary increase we gave him, at least the £50k marquee cap is useful here. I'm hoping Lindop is after that shirt by the time 2026 comes along, he'll be almost 20 when 2026 kicks off.

| Ashton is brilliant. Doesn't get the hype of Johnstone, but I'd think he's pushing him to join Young as England winger.

| England/GB have a wealth of wingers.
From Young and Johnstone to Makinson and Charnley (who is back to his old self and enjoying his rugby), not forgetting Hall, Tom Davis as well as Ashton.
Im happy Ashton is at Wire though.

Johnstone is a very good winger, but I actually think Ashton has a slightly better all round game. He's faster too.

| I wouldn't swap Ashton for any winger in super league. And if we put him up for sale EVERY club would try and sign him. An absolute class act.

| Quote: ratticusfinch "Then, like Wigan did with Smith, we persevere with Thewlis/Hayes as goalkicker - if in their pursuit of excellence we lose some close games then we suck it up.
Also worth noting that Ratchford bottled a high pressure yet routine kick at goal. Still think he'd be shaky with a pressure kick.'"
Are you saying that when under pressure he couldn't hit a green door with a banjo?
