I've watched all the Cowboys games this season, and I have to say that Ashton is probably playing the best football he has played in many a season (particularly in defence). I would like to see Tariq and Ashton at the club, because they are both aggressive and will at the very least have a good old fashioned dig, which is more than I can say for some of our other forwards at the moment.
Statistics show that Ashton has given away 3 penalties all season, missed 7 tackles, and ran for over 100m on five occasions this season from the bench; not bad. He also ran for 124 in a badly beaten side against the Raiders last week, albeit from the starting side. Statistics are not everything, and I certainly have some concerns regarding his overall game, but he is playing some decent football this season is all!
