Seeing as I mentioned him on the Mathers thread, I would 100% take him back.

Attacks better than Mathers and defends better than Mathers.

Voted yes but as a squad player. Wouldn't get in the first team bar injuries. Same way I would treat Mathers. Ashton is a far better player than Mathers.

Definately! One of the only real exciting players to come out of our academy over the last 5 years or so.

Some people on here must be so fickle, hypocritycal and have very short memories. Is this the same fella who was pictured in a RU shirt before he left you and was booed for the remaining months every time he touched the ball.(That's being generous, some were wishing the worst on him).

Did you forgive Sean Long for betting against his own club?

At least Ashton had the excuse of being young and naive to pose for that photo...

He also flicked the V's to the away section at Belle Vue after Wakey slapped us

Most young lads in his position would have done the same. Maybe not posing for the picture, but not many people can honestly say they would turn that kind of money down and i said this at the time!!

That was the game yeah, I think Noble took him off after that try. He was walking back to the bench along the deadball line and didn't like a few fans telling him to get off the pitch.

unless i'm mistaken, hasn't he been used mainly on the wing at northampton?

It was no big deal to anyone who wasn't outside of St helens, nobody wanted a public lynching or for him to break his leg in his next match etc. and he was never booed every time he touched the ball. a la ashton





I bet you were saying that at the time, as well (or were you calling him a money grabbing ...., the same as everyone else).

NO

have some of you forgot what he played like for us? a lot on here where saying they where glad to see the back of him......
we have played ONE game this season lets not start panicing ...FGS.

mathers wasnt the only one who let us down last week the ENTIRE TEAM WASNT UP TO SCRATCH.

There was no public lynching in regards to Ashton and in regards to 'breaking his leg in his next match', there was one comment in regards to that on this messageboard and that poster was dealt with by a moderator.

Keep digging!

You took a census, did you?

Anyway, how are things at Saints? Are Potter and Cunningham talking again after their latest bust-up?

???! Have I missed something?
