What is arrogant about your attitude is you are talking like Leeds is that idyllic environment, and Catalans not and that the only possible reason Aiton would choose Catalans over Leeds is because of money.

Like the choice between living in Leeds or the south of france for the next 3 years?

It isn't the pack that has beaten NSW its the quality of the Qld back and in particular Thurston, Inglis and Cronk.

Your point begs the question does Aiton look good because of or in spite of the Leeds pack. If he needs the Leeds pack to dominate to show his skills what value does he bring? As you have just pointed out most hookers look good behind a dominant pack.

I would hazard a guess when you had a young family you prime motivation was providing for them and for that you would have been very financially motivated. Unless of course you were prepared to compromise your family's prosperity for your principles? Aiton is now in that position - he has to do what is best for his family not his principles - it is a choice that most of us have to make. You have no knowledge of the respective deals yet you label Aiton greedy!!

Most people afford a more balanced approached once their responsibilities change - something you need to consider when you are labelling players greedy.

Aiton out for 6-8 weeks with a knackered arm.

Huge loss, if true.

Massive loss .

Suspected broken arm. But then again, McGuire had a suspected broken ankle that turned out to be a week out.

Confirmed broken arm

Done for the season then. No chance 6-8 weeks imo. I broke my arm playing a couple of years ago and took me nearly 3 months to start lifting light weights again, never mind playing.

So does that mean Burrow for the rest of the year then?

Those doubting his ability will now be proved so wrong.
The space he creates for those around him is unreal.

'Leeds Owl' spending the last few nights sticking pins into a voodoo doll of that greedy lover Aiton clearly worked then I see.

A huge blow to the team , he has been integral to our style of play this season , particularly latterly .

As a starter yes. Robbie Ward potentially as a substitute has a MASSIVE chance now to earn himself a future at Leeds. Handley took his chance and whilst out of the team now did enough to set his career at Leeds off well.
