Martin Aspinwall jailed
4 months for Dangerous Driving after crashing his car in a high speed police chase. Castleford say they are making no comment.

Didn't he have a trip to court last year from punching someone?

The thing is he looks so unassuming on the field, like he wouldn't hurt a fly, but controversy has followed him around throughout his career.

From memory there's been 3 incidents of violence alone.

Yes he got a suspended jail sentence for it. He should have been careful with a suspended sentence hanging over him.

If youve done the crime, you deserve the time. Simple as that really, even if you are a pro rugby player.

We potentially saw the last try of his career on sunday then depending on what happens afterwards.

This is what I thought, on the field he looks such a quiet player. I thought he did OK at Wigan without ever doing anything outstanding. What was the reason for him leaving Wigan? Or did we just not want him?

Terrible, will end up dead if he carries on.

Total nut job and not helped by hanging round with his brother who is as bad.

Agreed, didnt want to say it, was waited for someone else to start off.......

Iv seen him out in the past in some pretty awful states, lets just say quite "alert" and full of anger.

I didn't see him every week of course, but from my memory I thought Aspinwall looked quite good in the days when Gregory was Wigan coach. There was something in the Warrington papers about us trying to sign him around that time and being turned down (also we apparently tried to sign O'Loughlin after Forshaw retired in 2004). Seemed like his career was on an upward spiral from 2002-04 and steadily slipped downwards after that.

Still I don't think he's a bad player. He's the type of player you would say is 'average Super League quality'.

hes a nut case

It was only a matter of time and i'm supprised it's for a driving offence cause everyone knows what he like

A total coward iv seen him on more than one occasion hit someone from behond and run off and also some other things he does why he is out. I cant stand the bloke he is an absolute idiot and doesnt deserve to be a rugby league player.

Nah, someone like Crusaders/Quins will snap him up when he's released.

Sadly he wont be the only Super League player making headlines for all the wrong reasons in the next few weeks

Are you suggesting there is More to come with the driving incidents.


I think that was pretty legally solid?

makes no difference its in the paper

Talked to him in Rose Bridge clubhouse couple of weeks back. Doesnt seem a nice person.

Yeah, maybe he will get off [iscott[/i-free.

LOL, somebody else notice that KE has been giving a lift to another player recently.

I reckon he'll go with the Leon, knock and run gone wrong defence.

Except with the use of a car.

Hes a sound bloke. Just not got many (if any) brain cell's.
