There seems to be alot of bitterness towards Ashton on here.
Can't blame the lad for bettering himself and becoming a nationwide Star, something which would never have happened had he stayed at Wigan!

In what way has he 'bettered himself'?
And mods, there is a union board which is where this should be.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

He didn't leave to "better himself".
He left because he was earning £12k plus bonuses as a junior member of the squad, covering at fullback.
Northampton threw £70k at him and he snatched their hands off.
Wigan (quite rightly) refused to pay anywhere near that amount for a kid with nothing more than potential at that time.
Personally, I couldn't care less about anythin he does in RU, although at least it sounds like there was something to get excited about in this match for a change.

Whilst you can't. It was the way he did it.
However he failed to show comitment to the club for the remainder of his term.....he couldn't wait to leave and his performances were rank awful. (See Kyle Eastmond).
In addition he then went out and got himself photographed wearing a Northampton shirt when he had 7 months of his contract left at Wigan. |

Couldn't of said it better myself, I might be a Wigan fan but I'am also a fan of both codes. Ashton made a move that was best for him and will set himself up for a better future. He's the face of Nike rugby would that of ever happened for him in league??? Tbh he'd probably of had to buy his own boots and his own training gear at the time he broke into the team, as I believe it was in Radders book that he says things were like that at the club at that time. Plus all you ever get on here is people saying he wasn't good enough for league and was weak in defence fair play to him for going to a code that suits his skill set better. |

It is more the bitter garbage he has been giving to the press lately than anything else. I would never begrudge a player going to another sport and making a success of it. But repeatedly attacking the game that made him (and that is what it is, he has natural athletic attributes but his awareness comes from rugby league coaching as the even the union coaches admit ) in the press is unnecessary. Especially, as he knows, rugby league has a hard time with the press in England as it is. He therefore becomes source for criticism, and fully justified criticism at that.

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.

What he said......
Hopefully him and his career will hit a downward spiral from here-on in.
Horrible, horrible person that showed zero respect to the Wigan club, Wigan team mates and Wigan fans....go boil yer big fat yed!! |

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |
