Ashton is a better player than Marshall IMO. I thought he was superb last Sunday and deserves his spot. If they want to take a look at a back up option, then throw Marshall in and as ever, he'll do a great job. I don't remember us being so blessed on the wings for a very long time because had Tom Johnstone been fully fit towards the back end of the season, he'd likely have been in the squad and pushed Marshall down to 4th choice, which is a great position to be in.

Yet it wasn't all over the media that there were literally twice as many Saints players than Wigan on Sunday, despite them having a poor season as a club. Strange that. Could it be that he's just picking who he thinks the best available players are? Surely not?

Add to that, Smith and Havard never played for Wigan under Wanes coaching.

I agree O'Neil would also be in as first choice hooker,I also would have Ashton over Marshall but would definitely give Marshy a go just to see how he goes and he deserves a chance.
I see no bias in picking the strongest team even if it means a few Wigan players included or any other teams .

I would have Daryl Clarke as first choice hooker and O'Neil as backup, just think Clarke has that experience and would be my first choice.
I really like Ashton but I would like to see Marshall at international level, admittedly I have not seen as much of Ashton at club level than Marshall but I don't know if Ashton has the kicking game that we often see from Marshall and would like to see if he can replicate it at international level.
