1 try in 9 games in the premiership last year. Looks like he found his level in the 2nd tier.

He broke the First division try scoring record in his debut season.
41 tries in 28 games like you said.

Then I hear started to come the big "I am" just as he did at Wigan. The Northampton coach put him in his place, the second team.

Yep. Jim Mallinder got tired of his attitude and stuck him in the reserves. Didn't he have a do with one of the coaches last year?

good player but a moron

He knew his way to the tryline I will give him that, but he couldnt tackle for toffee!

Saw him get a kicking off his mum after a game away at Wakefield, when Wigan got battered. It was quite embarrasing to watch.

That surprised me though in the end. In his first season when he started to just play a few matches he did some really good tackles when players broke through the line. Granted he showed them the touch line and then just hit them hard into touch, but it was still very effective.

The next season when he started more matches, as soon as a break was made you knew he wouldn't be able to make the tackle, and even when he reverted to showing them the touch line he'd either miss the player completely or bounce off them.

Ashton? Surely not?

He scored 2 tries against Munster yesterday afternoon.
