A player with genuine pace which is very very rare these days! I'd take him in a 2nd on a performance related contract which includes his attitude off as well as his performances on it.

We currently have players like Phelps in the squad who don’t have Ashton’s attacking edge and are only marginally better than him defence. Ashton would not only add an attacking edge to the squad but if he can sort his attitude out he’d be an asset.

I remember him playing Centre fo cronulla, i think it was his preferred position .

Hook line and sinker.

Bless them! They're just upset that I've been to central Park and they haven't ( to watch a rugby game that is not buy spuds )

Look what we got the last time we signed a centre that played well for Cronulla....

... The solid but unspectacular Phil Bailey

The truth is that at the moment he is better than those players in those positions.

To be fair he could of chose his own position if we had him last night.

you lost any credibility you ever had with that statement!!!! cashmere for paleasina!!! would be the worst swap deal since lee hanson for long!!

But Phil Bailey was also used at second row and was never particuarly fast at any point in his career . Ryan McGoldrick was always a more dynamic player than Bailey.

Ashton cant defend to save his life. If he cant cut it at union then he does not stand a chance in Super League. He can attack but a FB should be able to defend as well.

Getting Ashton in for Mathers is no change at all. Richards should stay at Full Back. Hes better than both.

IF we signed McGoldrick, he should be at 1.

Creative, links in well as an extra half, hits the gaps well, returns the ball with interest and is a good last line of defence.

Several kicks last night by Leeds showed that McClennan had identified Pat's positioning as a week link and he was caught out on a few occasions. He is a winger filling in at fullback.
