In what respect, if you look at the stats bearing in mind we don't know how many minutes they played for - in attack Ashurst makes 5.6 meters per carry whilst Dixon makes 6.11, Ashurst makes 18 tackcles per game whilst Dixon makes 16,etc,etc so they appear if anything very similar.
I feel that since Dixon has returned from being dropped/injured (unsure of which) that he has really up his game he looks a lot sharper and more physical in the tackle.I remember reading Royce's comment after the Sheffield game that he was disappointed with Dixon being injured as he was just hitting some form.

I've been telling Royce to play the Mako shark on the wing. Did he not play there against Fev?

He'll be playing on the wing.

Meli must never, never, never play on the wing again. Please, no.

royce said he was thinking about moving mako to cover ade, no mention of anythin about meli moving back to wing

I agree, but Matty is 18th man this week

Confirmed team:

Wellens
Makinson
Shenton
Meli
Foster
Gaskell
Lomax
Graham
Roby
LMS
Soliola
Wilkin
Puletua

Eastmond
Moore
Dixon

Dixon over Ashurst then. Good to see Makinson on the wing with Meli remaining as centre
