I think some peoples opinion of aiton would be different if he had an English accsent. I'd have Roby and Clark over him but I'm more than happy with his form up to now. I personally thought he had a very good game last night, imo we look a better attacking threat with him on the field, andhe's not afraid to put a hit on and he'll defend all day.

Regarding player of the season so far I'd probably say aiton, McGuire, cuthbertson have been outstanding, and ward, briscoe, and achurch all look very good also.

Can't say Mcguire has been outstanding.He was awful first half yesterday,4 basic errors in one half.Granted he made amends in the 2nd period but lets not go over board.

Worrying thing for me is Sinfield.Not very effective at the back end of last year and a passenger for most of the first few games.

Everyone see's the game differently. Of those first half errors at least two came from shocking passes round his ankles with a man already on him, and a forward pass that wasn't a forward pass. As for the 2nd half, well what can you say ? Two tries for himself, two well timed passes for Singleton and Watkins to burst onto to score their tries, and drew tacklers in and offloaded for Hardaker to go clear and put Burrow over for his try. He is a massive part of what we do offensively, and we would miss him big time if he was unavailable.

I mentioned last night that a few of his 'errors' came from poor passes to him. If we are to play like that on a regular basis people will have to accept that they'll be a decent amount of errors as a result especially from our pivots, this week McGuire, last week Hardaker.....it ain't always going to stick.

They mostly came from trying to force things......if we start committing errors whilst playing basic up-the-jumper rugby then that's a worry. Warrington have often led the error count recently in years but that's because they try play a certain attacking way.

Fair comment and certainly recall one coming from a shocking pass from Aiton off dummy half.

Look, lets kid ourselves, Mcguire is not the player he was but is still effective and i made the point on other threads i wouldnt swap our halves for what i saw on offer from the top 3 in the WCS. imo he sometimes tries to do too much but like we saw in the second period yesterday there are not too many better poachers and readers of the game when the team is on the front foot.

One things for certain based on tonight's evidence, we did well swapping him for Paul 'one handed pickup' McShane.
