Monaghan I can understand. I don't agree but I understand. I just don't get the Hicks love in.

This isn't even a debate to me. Ashton is better than Hicks was

Ashton is a lot faster
Ashton makes more yards running it in.
Hicks was better in the air
Hicks was possibly marginally better in defence.
Ashton's finishing is better.

Overall, I can't see why people still go on about Hicks. How many would Hicks score over the last few years for us playing outside the centres that Ashton has had to. T King and Ratchford versus M King and Bridge. This isn't even taking into account how dominant our pack was while Hicks was here. So we we got downfield a lot easier and created more opportunities for our outside backs as a result.

I hope Jordy Crowther got a big pat on the back from not only those on the field but the coaching staff too for that tackle on Lewis. You watch him every game, he goes in on every kicker, and not just to scare or put them off, but to actually bring them down before they're able to get it away. He finally got his reward for all those efforts.

Haha, people taking comments out of context, well I've never seen the like! What I actually said was, Thewlis ACTS like a mard, and it wins us penalties. It's that simple. He obviously is not one, he plays Rugby League. He has to have a level of toughness to survive and thrive.

I have watched the game back a few times now and Josh Thewlis was outstanding in defence and attack, especially defence, his best game yet in a Warrington shirt for me and deservedly got the MOM.

Haven’t watched the full game yet. How was his mard-acting?

Must have missed it
