Strong rumour coming out of the Wildcats that GH working on a player swop deal, which will see Jason Poore and Paul Aiton to Headingley. Not sure who will be going the other way but I hope it is the old guard and not the young guns!! we also need 2 pivots from somewhere in my view.

It was Kirmond and Aiton last week for Clarkson ,Moore ,Kirke and £££ i can see this changing every week with Kath there now.

I would take that. But not sure about Poore, unless Bailey is going other way.

I reckon we'll send Wilson, Mason, Fox and maybe one of the Rayne borthers.

Hopefully, we'll get a really pacy fullback and tough as teak scrum half in return.

First thing that crossed my mind!

I wonder how those two would get on as team mates!

I'd rather send Conway than Wilson but other than that sounds good!

Anyway, regardless, I hope we get Aiton. He's a good hooker and lord knows we need one. I'd be honestly happy for a McShane/Kirke swap for those two.

Your memory is better than mine! Mark Conway...those were the days.

H-Aiton is a weak defender imo just as bad if not worse than Mcshane yes he is nippy around the ruck and his distribution is better than Burrows there but i dont think he's the quality 9 we need.

He's a much better organiser and a far superior player with ball in hand to McShane though. His defence has never stood out as weak to me either but ill admit I haven't paid too much attention to that side of his game. Either way, it can't be any worse than Burrow's who often becomes a relative passenger when we don't have the ball.

probably fine.

Both props...who enjoy the notoriety, probably have alot in common.

Wakefield fans seem to have the opposite view: that he's a tireless defender and strong runner who can't pass. Haven't seen enough of him to know who's right, but that's what I've consistently read.

Regards Paul Aiton's defence - according to Opta - he has made 949 tackles and missed 37 which results in a 96% tackle success rate for this season.

Only one Leeds player can match a 96% tackle success rate in the SL Regular Rounds this year and that was Jamie Jones-Buchanan. Paul McShane scored 94% and Burrow (although in no way playing a comparable defensive role) scored 93%

Poore and Aiton to Leeds on less money in exchange for two bags of salt and vinegar crisps and a 2-ltr bottle of dandelion & burdoch.

Seabrook and Ben Shaws obviously!

GH by plenty!
