Quote: THECherry&Whites "........because he is an even bigger light weight in defence than Gregg McNally. We need SL quality backs next year and the main reason Ashton went to RU was the fact he was getting found out in defence. Probably the reason that Northampton played him on the wing in RU.'"
I thought Ashton went to RU for more money??
Either way he was playing well for Wigan before the move and I think would still be a good signing. I would guess he's had less collisions than an RL winger/centre so should be fresher for his age
It would also generate a lot of national publicity
