The three-quarter line offers so many options, despite the loss of Matty Ashton<\/a> to a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n

Out wide, Hull’s speedy Lewis Martin – a former Hull City youth footballer – was Super League’s top scorer, but is this too early for him?<\/p>\n

Dom Young, who left Sydney Roosters for Newcastle mid-season, has been a rampaging force out wide for England, athletic and powerful.<\/p>\n

Joe Burgess has three England caps but has not been in the reckoning of late, despite scoring regularly for Salford and now Hull KR. His team-mate Tom Davies is another who does great work out of back-field as well as out wide – but he only has one cap.<\/p>\n

Liam Marshall scored on his England debut<\/a> against Samoa last November, after several prolific seasons with Wigan, and will surely be considered.<\/p>\n

Herbie Farnworth, arguably one of the best players in the world, has sewn up one of the centre spots, so who goes in alongside?<\/p>\n

Jake Wardle has had another impressive season at Wigan, while Harry Newman – who Wane has shown faith in during recent series – was again a regular for Leeds.<\/p>\n

Roosters’ Billy Smith and Gold Coast utility AJ Brimson, two Australia-born players, might come into consideration but will have to impose their desire and passion on Wane if they are to get the nod.<\/p>\n

So who should make Wane’s Ashes squad?
