Fully agree with you.Burrow did well to be fair on the night though to say he is limited in the role, and his break for the Moon try is the reason why he will always be a key player for us in the big games.

aiton seems to be the perfect fit to how the rhinos play the game and imo as he is playing the most pivotal position on the field then it is paramount that we re sign him

if we dont keep paulie next season then we shouldnt be surprised that what worked so well this season wont mean that it will work so well next season with a different 9

i would keep aiton without a doubt

He's been the best hooker in the league this year, Roby is still class, but Aiton has been better than any other hooker in 2015 IMO.

I'm surprised Clarke has been so Average, compared to his previous.

This is bang on.

Aiton has different attributes to roby, Clarke or whoever but he fits how we play and that is far far more important than some marquee name.

Those calling him average simply don't understand what they are watching.

Aiton seems to work and fit with the team at the moment. The only concern is that with Sinny leaving at the end of the season a real playmaker/game manager at 9 might be the best way to compensate. Aiton is strong, quick and a tough defender, but game management comes from behind him. The channel he defends in makes us a very solid outfit up the middle when he's on the pitch.

As for Lunt, I was never happy with Lunt in the first place. Couldn't see what he offered beyond what McShane gave us at the time. Wouldn't want him back.

I'm unclear how a new hooked could help fill the void left by our legendary loose forward/stand off?

Really? Have you seen Cameron Smith. I guess that's the line he is talking about.

We are signing Cameron Smith? Awesome.

Seriously, there are very few hookers every decade as good as someone like Smith and trying to compare Aiton to him is plain wrong.

Aiton is a good hooker, who fits our style and has really improved. Let's just give the guy credit.

ainton has been in superb form this year and really speeds things up for us. Hope we can keep him, he is the best hooker in super league at the moment and pivotal to our play.He always looks dangerous with the ball and tackles all comers well. He really makes the opposition work hard.Staying with Rhinos gives him every chance to pick up silverware and i rate him up with Buderaus.

Why are people so extreme! To call him average is ridiculous-he's been very good this year. To compare him to Buderus is also ridiculous.

Ailton would be a loss but like others I think he probably is replaceable. I'd rather not have to replace him though. He gets us on the front front and we look a lot more dangerous in the opposition 20 with him at dummy half.
