In fact, if you're an RU club looking to sign an RL player then the best way is to structure the offer in such a way as to have the most impact on the RFL Salary cap so their club struggles to match it.

| Quote: Steve Ella's Beard "For salary cap purposes though, the potential earned from bonuses is taken as if you'd been actually paid it on a basis defined in the rules or agreed with the Salary Cap co-ordinator. Under our rules it's quite possible that to match a potential pay offer from RU of say £120,000 (if all the bonuses are acheived) depending on structure it could cost as much as £120,000 on an RL club's salary cap even if the bonuses turned out not be acheived and the player only got paid say £60,000.'"
That puts that one to bed. But even if had only been £60 grand, it's still a problem if you haven't got room under the cap. |

Whichever way you look at it, RL has lost a talented player and RU has gained one.
Try and justfiy it all you like, with reference to "value" and the CC, but the reality is that it's a loss to Wigan.

There's nothing to justify. It happened, and the reasons why it happened have been given.
Whinge about it all you want. That won't change the reality that Wigan couldn't meet his demands. |

If were all willing to forgive Hock and his drug antics, then Ashton prancing about in a RU shirt pales into insignificance.
We all make mistakes when young, some of us continue to make them as we get older.  |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Hang on a minute he was 10 days away from his 20th birthday (Chris Ashton, born 29 March 1987, On March 19, 2007 it was announced that Ashton had signed to play Rugby Union for Northampton). Regardless he was a professional Wigan RL player that commited the cardinal sin. Its like some 19 year old kid coming along a sh**ging your Maude then excusing him because he doesn't know any better. Utter nonsense!!
Even Maurice acknowledged he was being a tool (20 August 2007)......"Chris was anxious to commence his rugby union career with Northampton," said Wigan chairman Maurice Lindsay.
"It is pointless having a player whose mind is elsewhere."
Lindsay added: "We decided to terminate his contract with us and he will join Northampton immediately."
LovesToSpooge, who said we are ALL willing to give Hock another chance, do you speak for us ALL?
Jes we have hit rock bottom when we think its ok to welcome back players that have sh*t on the club from a great height.
We all know that Ashton will never come back to the club as RU has far more money floating about and I for one couldnt give a monkeys chuff.
 Bye Bye Ashton Bye Bye |

This.
Ashton was probably rail roaded into posing in that Northampton top and people on here wanted him hung from the gallows. Hock then gets found out to be taking cocaine and everyone is like "awwww but he deserves another chance".
Fact of the matter is, Ashton would walk into the wigan team in any of the back positions, hell he would probably walk into most SL clubs teams too, yet most wigan fans dont want him back because of that photo, or because as is claimed but never proved, he was a bad influence. Funny how the bad influence stories only came out once he had signed for Northampton.
He was a massive loss to rugby league and I for one, would welcome him back with open arms no matter which rugby league team he signed for.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Best post of 2009 
It's not just the rah rah shirt thing, but his attitude off the pitch and the way he disrespected some of the senior players at the club at a time when everyone was pulling together to get us out of the . |

Personally I would go for Phelps, more defensively sound and appears to have more heart.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |
