Yeah, but there is a bit of a "let's all blame the ex-RL player" thing going on.
One of those soft tw0ts even has the temerity to say that Ashton "needs to be reminded that he's playing Union".
He won't need reminding of any such thing; his body will never be sore enough for him to think otherwise.
It's also hilarious how he keeps being singled out for bad behaviour during the World Cup, when the real story seemd to be that nearly all of them were involved.
I don't blame Ashton for going to RU, given the peanuts he was on here at the time (even if he was extremely ill-mannered about it), but I'm guessing no-one told him that his face will never actually fit in RU, and unfortunately it's now too late for him to pass that advice on to his mate Joel.

| Ashton doesn't need reminding he's playing Union, this is normal for Union.

Ashton isn't being singled out for his behaviour. He was involved in most of the negative stuff that happened in the RUWC. It wouldn't surprise me if he were dropped for the 6 Nations. I think that on reflection Wigan were probably right not to offer him a better contract.

| As a former rugby coach I would have told Ashton long ago: "Stop your stupid swallow dive or you don't get picked".
What a load of old rubbish that comment was

Yeah, and the others are all shrinking violets.
Look, at the end of the day I couldn't give a toss about Chris Ashton. He's made his own bed and now has to lie on it. But this stirs up memories of Larder and Lydon carrying the can for the errors of others, and it just makes me chuckle.

| Some 'Rugby' playing public schools used to keep a school Leopard to pursue boarding pupils who attempted to escape. I saw it in a documentary once.

by far the best comment his user name "leigh vernier" explains it all.

Ah, Greybridge. I remember my time as school bully there.

| Watched the highlights of this earlier, certainly still lacks class. The better bit was for one of the Leicester tries where Ashton tried to tackle the player running down the wing from behind and simply ended up holding on to him and trying to push him out, in the end he pushed him towards the line and he scored the try.

| I thought at first this might have been a grab at the back of the collar with an accidental hair grab.
But that was a bad one that, really blatant. Deserved to get a good chinning.
Strange though, when he was here he never said boo to a goose. Now he is becoming a right little weasel.
