Why on earth does Ashton get so much criticism?

No idea, he gets targeted and makes no more mistakes than anyone else really. There is a lot of improvement in him as well.

He makes very few mistakes.

He makes hardly any, you're right. But having a centre inside you who can't tackle won't help him. Warrington fans won't blame king though, he's an international and Ashton is just a youngster. If I was Connor wrench, I'd look for a new club. If I had his talent and looked at the jokers getting picked ahead of me, then whats the point of staying?

Jason Clark made 20 metres all game. Disgraceful. He’s a good bloke though apparantley.

No go forward what so ever.

Mind you neither have Currie or Holmes.

Just signing one prop forward is not going to alter this crap.

We need a Murdoch Masilla type backrow to compliment either Currie OR Holmes, we can`t play those two long term, they are too similar.

Ashton needs longer studs in his boots. I reckon he’s slipped around 4 times over that last 2 games.

Re: New Prop : Sat Apr 30, 2022 2:17 pm  

I can’t see any small improvement you talk about. The pack is mickey poor and I don’t see any small improvements making any significant ground to be remotely competitive with our neighbours anyhow. The whole lot bar Cooper simply are bang average at best.

However I hear we will go for a quick fix next season sniffing at Kassiano and Dudson.

Our problems are more than just a prop.

Re: New Prop : Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:42 pm  

A lightweight front row is not helped by a very lightweight second row. We need a beast of a second row as well. Tanginoa is a good target or maybe Matautia could persuade his brother to come and join us for a bit when his contract expires at the end of this season.
