| Quote: leeds owl "You are as shallow as Aiton, and presumptious. I have had 2 jobs in my life, and turned down greater finances over the course of my working career on numerous occasions. When I was employed by a large corporation I had a great job in an idyllic environment. I was offered a substantial increase to move on 2 occasions, I turned them both down because the environment and colleagues I had meant more to me than the money offered to move to an inferior area with potentially less desirable colleagues. I have been self employed for 16 years and still have a core of original customers from 1999. I could have ditched them for more lucrative contracts, but I trust them,am happy with them, and my loyalty has been more than reciprocated even when I went through a period of ill health. Not everyone is like you and Aiton, I don't need a bigger telly or bigger car, I don't stress about chasing the next big contract. I can't wait to be sat outside a coffee shop in Leeds when the Catalans team bus goes past on it's way to Batley. Aiton sat there, not on a booster cushion, but on his big fat wallet, on his way to Mount Pleasant.'"
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? |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "Our pack in general has been outplayed in both games against Warrington. Very difficult for any hooker to look good in a pack going backwards, something Clark has found out for himself on a few occasions. I can think of quite a few very good hookers who have pulled on the blue jersey of NSW and have looked mediocre in Origin in recent 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. |

| Quote: leeds owl "Stop backtracking. You said I wouldn't turn down a large salary increase, and you were wrong. People like you have to realise that not everyone is motivated primarily by money. Yes, we all need money nowadays, it's the way of the world. For some people it becomes the key factor when making decisions, as opposed to less money oriented people. Believe it or not, many folk believe in a more balanced approach to living their lives.'"
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. |

"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68506.jpg |

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

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

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.

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.

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. |
