Just my opinion, but I reckon Aiton is the best hooker we have had at Belle Vue in a generation.

It's a bit of a moving feast, he doesn't technically hook in the same way that Alan McCurrie or even Billy Conway had to, his defence in traffic is phenomenal, but I think he's part of a second slower than he should be on ball distribution. He's certainly up there as a tough guy though, tremendous work rate. He's made a decent start on the field, I hope he stays a good while and progresses.

He would be even better coming on midway through the first half after a stint by a more 'controlling' style hooker.

Every time I've seen Aiton running hard at the line he takes plenty of stopping, If the guy was a foot taller he would make an excellent prop. I personally think he lacks too much pace and quality ball distribution to be considered a top SL hooker, I just wish he would run from dummy half a lot more instead of taking the lazy option. Love the way he defends just needs to show more quality at the PTB.

His ball distribution isn't what it perhaps could be. I'd expect this to improve though, he's a full time player.
