Simon Barnes in today's paper has a different point of view, which I can't disagree with much. See www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 974605.ece He appears, to me at least, to be talking a lot more sense.

Who says Wiganers don't talk sense

Watched 5 mins of union because Chris Ashton (*spits on floor*) was playing for Northampton.



He scored the winning try in the last miute and was interviewed after the game, he has still got the deep rooted Wigan twang e.g. when he says round, down etc but he is starting to speak a little like a toff.



I really despise every player who leaves Rugby League and states they want a new challenge when they haven't done much in league first.



I accept Robinson and he was reborn in union and built a legacy in that code also, wish Farrell would have stayed because we missed him so much but would rather him go like he did in his prime rather than Sculthorpe did at Saints but Ashton, Smith, Williams, Gasnier, Cross etc I hope fail miserably.



I hope Stephen Myler does well at union as I didn't rate him in league and prob wouldn't have ammounted to much in league so I don't blame him for taking the chance.



Next one to go is certainly Eastmond and they will be sniffing around Tomkins but I hope and am sure he has the sense to tell them to pi55 off, I would.



Back to the topic union is boring because the forwards are fat, funny shaped posh s called Henry and Rupert with bent noses with rich daddys and the backs are girly looking with little skill just can hoof a ball.

I just hope the powers that be at twickers don't take any notice of him! Weird isn't it, we spend so much time criticising our refs for not blowing the whistle enough to clean up and speed up the ptb and in ru they are critisising theirs for blowing too much at their breakdown!

That's not why he went so why bring it up?

I'm still disgruntled that a cracking player like Ashton used and abused us and shot off at the first opportunity.
