Agreed by 99.9% of us just one desenter - he knows who he is
However not MOM or the best prop today, that was Amor for me.
However the consistent Raleigh is what we need, he allows for the younger players to have up and down games - so when Amor is on song Raleigh makes him look twice as good!

| Cant argue against Aiton, without question the best signing in recent years down at BV and would probably get a starting shirt at any other SL team too.
I hope he can be tempted to stay for the long term but i doubt it, he will have been picked up on all the big clubs radars.
As for Sykes he has not only excelled individually, but he has given Smith a perfect foil too.
Cockayne and Fox were excellent outlets and Raleigh and Amor ran their blood to water.
From what i can recall through my delerium, i though Mathers probably had his shakiest game so far.
Credit though to all the players, it really was a blood and thunder whole team effort.

| If Paul Aiton played for any other team, Eddie & Stevo would have been declaring their undying love for him at every opportunity.
I hope we can get him signed up on a long term deal before other clubs come knocking - he's outstanding.

| Mathers had a blunder and so did Cockayne as did Amor passing the ball when he should have held on and they got the ball.All 3 of them got over it and went on to play a part in a great comeback.As for MOM it would be equal spoils with Aiton and Sykes who both worked their socks off for the win.Credit to them all its some time since I stood on the terrace and felt as proud of the team 1 - 17 as I did yesterday and gave them a standing ovation after the final hooter.

| My MOM's were: Raleigh, Amor, Wilkes and Southern. We won because of our dominant forwards in my opinion, these four were absolutely brilliant. We won the ruck, made lots off metres, and we were dominant in defence. Raleigh is playing out of his skin.

Forwards were great but Aiton created the gaps and our wingers urgency made a huge difference.

| As they normally say the forwards lay the platform for your backs to finish off, Aiton did that much work that our forwards had high energy levels in last quarter thus helping us steam roll them.

| Aiton is a player we should be looking to build a team around, offer him 3 or 4 years and let him lead us in to Newmarket. Talks should begin next Tuesday

Absolutely agree .. fantastic signing and someone we should look to secure longer term.... hasnt had a bad game for us yet - even in some of the lesser / dismal performances.
IMO would be a shoe in to any SL team !

From what was said at the recent forum the club would welcome an extension to his contract but he absolutely refused to give any hope that he would stay for longer than his present contract, when pushed hard on the subject.
Unless we continue improve and show genuine progress, then I think he will be on his way - enjoy him while we have him!

| Even if an offer were to come in it should be turned down in favour of keeping him a's long a's possible. The machine is a player we can build a team around for sure.
I understand the reason he will not be drawn on a contract a's yet. He is pure quality.
If the attendences continue to rise, the stadium gets passed and the team reach playoffs either this year or 2013 then I'm sure wakey will look more attractive to him contract wise.

| To add to above he still gives 150% and seems to be enjoying his time here. Professional through and through.
The current set of players are showing their worth these last few games and long may this continue.

His and Tim smiths agent flew over today. Both players opening talks with the club about an extended stay. Excellent news!

Could (arguably) have been done over the phone. I have a genuine distrust of agents (admittedlyoatly caused by the antics of their football counterparts) but if they are flying over, they may well be asked to taut their players services all over SL??
Not wishing to poor cold water over what would be great news BTW!!

I've no problem with agents, as long as they do they job in an honest way.
Smith and Aiton need contracts to pay the bills. These guys do that for them. Its only like an individual union looking afetr your interests.
Its when they become publicity agents as well and work harder for themselves than they do for they 'customer'.
Hope they both sign long contracts.

The people commenting here are not perhaps the ones who booed TS off at Warrington. Arguably there was a suggestion that it was the late introduction of Kyle Wood that received the booing.
I was stood behind TS when he ignored Morro when he ran on the field, i too would have substituted him for that, i didn't boo him mind, but i would have dropped him for his bad attitude the following week.
What a difference three weeks make eh?
I think we're ALL a bit fickle really though.

| Where has this news on their agents flying in come from.Aiton is well worth a 2 year extention hes one of those players who will always give 100%. The way Smith is playing with Sykes as half back partner hes worth giving another 2 year to.While at it we need to sort contracts out for Mathers and Sykes.
Wasnt at the wire game one of those I couldnt make but since Smith has got an half back partner who can play the game and has experiance he only has to worry about his game and that has shown what he can do.

The way some of you lot are talking I thought his must have been a one year contract, just looked and it was a two year deal he signed so he's already down to be with us next season anyway.
