goldcoaster Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I noticed Chris Ashton has been released by Sale RU. Should a SL club try and recruit him? I’d love to see him back in our game. I was disappointed all those years ago when Brian Noble effectively chased him out of Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including a swallow dive at the end of a try.... Remember thinking it was a p*** take of Ashton Not sure how much you have seen of Ashton in union but he is much slower than he used to be. Is also still capable of behaving badly I wouldn't touch him in league unless it was a thing to generate publicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I can only see someone bringing in Ashton for his name - And even that has pretty much zero pulling power I would guess. We have much better wingers already in SL without getting one that has the amount of baggage as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longboard Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Chris Ashton in a disagreement with Steve Diamond? Surely not! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/51725686 Perhaps Ashton wanted to play regularly. May be Diamond wanted Ashton renege on his contract and retire. And then...........
