I'd agree with you, also Sammuts 'tash has matured from a strong 7 or 8/10 to a 9/10. If it improves any more it will be in the same league as Magnum PI, Kevin Webster and, of course Nigel Mansell.

We need him interviewed on BBC Breakfast dressed as a Dickensian gentleman, wearing a monical!
That's sure to get a few extra outsiders tuning in. |

So long as he says "I'm a pirate" and people understand him it'll be fine. |

According to one reoprt I read Ashton was offered £70k by Wigan (a "massive" pay increase) but went to union for £140k.
I just cant see Eastmond making it in Union, he just doesnt seem suited to the game. What position will he play? Cant see him as a half back or centre. He'd probably settle in easily enough on the wing but more likely full back.
If he does go I expect he'll be back in RL after a couple of seasons having earned himself 5-6 seasons RL earnings in the meantime. Cant say I'd blame him really.

i cant imagine him not making it in union. it would be madness for him not to go.
loads more money
national recognition
potential big international games.
expect tomkins to follow shortly...as has already been said on here money talks.

How much will Ashton be on now though ? Double the original 140k ? |
