I think O'Neil is currently the best Hooker in Superleague and it's only a matter of time until he gets the England call up. Waney seems to like Walker, Clark and Ackers, none of which are better than O'Neil imo, but are the incumbents so it depends on whether Waney considers him to have done enough to displace one of those. I think he has but I'm less certain Waney would agree. He seems to be harder on Wigan players than ones from other clubs. Whether that's because he sees more of them (familiarity breeds contempt and all that) or for some other reason, I'm not sure.

This is Hampshire's view on his performances. Fair comments reallyhttps://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby-league/ryan-hampshire-makes-wigan-warriors-future-admission-with-playmaker-eager-to-grab-first-team-opportunities-4667119rl
