Some one (Kirke) asked him if there was any chance of a return and he confirmed he's out until next season.

| I was at a birthday bash on Saturday at which there were a lot of south sea islanders from various clubs, plus ex players. got nattering to willie poching about his leeds days and I asked him about if he knew about leeds chasing clark, him being an ex wire coach.
he confirmed leeds wanted him and clark wanted to come but it depended on warrington. they were delighted with Brad Dwyer but weren't sure if he was good enough yet to be number one hooker.
he thought it was probably doubtful warrington wouldn't let him go but he said they were trying to revamp their squad and it wouldn't surprise him if he was allowed to go to free up cap space.

Thing is with Warrington, they've been quite big on a proper two hooker system for a few years now. For a while they had Monaghan and Higham, to the latter and Clark and now Clark and Dwyer. So even though Dwyer has done well, they need another guy to keep that pattern going.

Sounds interesting, I suspect the birthday bash was not in the tadcaster locale.
I was in the angel and white horse Saturday night, unfortunately no south sea islanders on view.

| The Angel in Leeds centre ? Lovely wheat beer in there.
Still worries by the lack of a hooker but doubt we will hear anything until boxing day / season ticket sales slow down

| Latest rumour appears to be Glen Buttriss, who was Canberra's starting hooker last year but has fallen behind Josh Hodgson in the pecking order.

Thirs choice behind Hodgson and Baptiste for a non-play-off club. I know we need *someone*, but if we're looking at the likes of Buttriss we must be down to our eighth or ninth choice.

What was Aiton's pedigree when we took him from Wakefield?

| Aiton is a journeyman with a pretty basic skill set who became important to us because he did a 'job'. That we cannot find an English player capable of doing that role is a huge failure of the game as a whole in this country. They should be ten a penny.
I have no doubt Buttriss can do that job. I have doubts that he is an answer that takes us forward either long or short term.

You don't rate someone you don't rate someone, but what exactly is your definition of "journeyman" that you seem to use in a derogatory way? If Aiton is a "journeyman" then you are looking at 70% of the rugby players in the same boat.
I think he has played for four clubs in his career. If you compare to other Leeds "Journeymen" in your definition, then Cuthbertson has played for 5 clubs, Kylie 6 clubs, Moon 4 clubs, Peacock 4 clubs. Are we supposed to be put off because players have played for more than one club?

| Well yeah. Most players are of journeyman quality (if not moving around enough to be a journeyman)
I would say that Kylie is a journeyman aswell. Probably moon too.
Cuthbertson is better than that. And Peacock is a legend.
Aiton is a mediocre player. He has a pretty basic skill set and isn't doing anything gets particularly special. He is doing what you expect a hooker to do and not a whole lot more. A.n Other hooker will be able to slot in to Aitons role and we won't see a huge drop off.
