Not sure how true this is, just read on the Newcastle site that Jim Hamilton has said it is between Quins and Falcons for him. We don't need another winger do we??
Quote:HonkyTonk
I would take him, of course. Problem is a) do we have the money/space b)if we do have the money are there other areas that we are more needy.

Pretty much my thinking also. Even if he came in to cover FB we have Brown, R Chisholm, Morris. Even Swiel.

And he’s better than all of them.

I think Ashton is an energy sapper. Don't like the man much.

Ashton at 15? No thanks.

What makes you say that out of interest? If he was, I’m surprised he lasted so long at sarries.

Just an impression formed watching interviews with him and teammates and managers and that ashsplat and that Tuilangi hair pulling, nothing concrete...

Don’t need another mercenary with only his best interests at heart, I’d rather give Ibitoye game time and let him develop his game to more than just speed.
Also echo the point above about our inability to create space and deliver the final pass, as we saw with Yarde. But I also concede that Ashton isn’t as lazy as Yarde and will generate his own scoring opportunities.

I truly hate Ashton as a rugby player , as for the " splash " when scoring tries , pathetic, He still doesn't tackle, or go looking for the ball, unless someone else has done the hard work for him first.
I really don't see what all the hype is about, If he came to Quins I'd stop going to
games until he'd moved on for more money. But then again, he'll never get in an England
shirt again, so no need for him to come back to the Premiership.

There's a lot more to Ibitoye's game than speed. He's not even that quick for a winger!
His defence and decision making let him down. Hopefully he can sort them out as he'll be world class if he does.

I think we’re agreeing Rodney. My comments say that he needs to develop the rest of his game. One ‘worldie’ every 7 or 8 games doesn’t make you a world beater. Give him game time and 1-1 coaching and he’ll do well. Maybe Ugo can do that for him?
