What does he bring?

I see a lot rap him in the 3-2-1's…I dont see much in him, Ive never been much of a fan.

What am I not seeing?
 
He constantly puts in 100%, tonight he more than handled josh morris, he's always one of the few players going forward when we seem flat. He's not an amazing attacking player but he is vital in our team as he always seems confident and positive no matter how the team is going. That's just how i see it though
 
Had a great try saver by diving on the loose ball. Great courage to throw his body at it.

And as Blake said, he contained Morris tonight and I even forgot he was in the game.

Seems to forget that there is a winger outside him in attack and defence.Other than that he will do me.

YEAH JACKSQUAT I JUST NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST.MY THOUGHTS ON ASHFORD IS HE HAD A MUCH BETTER GAME IN DEFENCE TONIGHT AND HE IS A DANGEROUS BALL RUNNER.
 
Josh Morris - 6 tries in 5 games in a team that had won only 1 game.
Josh Morris in round 6, 14 runs no tries in a winning team against. To me that says it all. Blake did a fantastic job. Was on Morris all night like shit to a fly.
 
He seems to have incredibly strong hands and arms and long arms. Al lot of those tackles on Morris tonight were close to arm grabs but stopped Morris like he'd been hit with a good shoulder.
 
Defensively he can be real good but he has been inconsistent this year. In attack he is solid - no worldbeater but all I want is a solid defensive player who can score a try if required.

Against the dogs he was 10 x better than Lawrence.

Lawrence is our weapon however he did have a shocker against the dogs.
 
He seems to do go alright but at times he just doesn't look like a 'footballer'. Might sound silly but he looks a bit uncoordinated or something.

He also has a few basic errors in him which hopefully will improve with experience.

I'm not convinced on him as yet but certainly willing to give him more time.
 
Bug, I normally always agree with you mate but Ayshford = Chris Mortimer??????

Mortimer was a GREAT Origin level defender.

Ayshford is a solid center who makes a lot of top class tackles, but also misses around one 'grab' a game that results in a try.

Potnetially a quailty defender, but nowhere near Chris Mortimer yet.

Lawrence didn't have a shocker. He just didn't get any quality ball. He defended well. As for Ayshford, he looked alright in attack although came up with a few handling errors. Defensively he was very good against Morris.

He is a top class Rugby League player. Defensively he is the equivalnt to Chris Mortimer in the 1980's.

Hang on…thats might be going just a bit far.

Mortimer was one of the best defending centres of all time.
 
I can't beleive some people question ashford! I rate him so highly. If you didn't see his defensive game on Morris last night…well you weren't watching the game. Add to this he had fitzy and lazarus inside and outside of him so his defence had to be spot on! He is strong in attack to. I would always have him in my team.
