Definitely Aitken. Not even a question. So much more powerful in attack.

Mann isn't a centre, fullback or half. Good 14.

That right edge defence looked much stronger with Mann in the centres.

Flo is far less likely to display his quality finishing skills with Aitken playing inside him with his limited ability to ball play.

Mann threw some glorious passes tonight after drawing in the defence.

Mann for mine...

Played the game at a high level pal. Been around elite players for many years and know football.
Pal.

Suggest we wait a few weeks before we draw any conclusions.

Both Aitken and Mann are returning from off season surgery.

Would prefer Mann at left centre.

Right centre may initially be Aitken but Lomax/Herbert will overtake him within 6-18 months.

Give Aitken 1st half next week and Mann second half with Hunt playing the entire game.
Aitken deserves a proper chance coming back from injury but on the basis of the short amount of time he was on the paddock tonight it is chalk and cheese what skills they have.
If Aitken can bust through and over the top of players and run away for tries then he deserves a spot but if he can't do that it is highly unlikely he can be an attacking asset let alone anything to do with defence.

Mann came to our club as a mature kid. He has further developed and kept a level head whilst been thrown around position after position. Was our leading try scorer in 2016 with only half games played. Played well today against Hull. YES Mann deserves a crack at centre and the starting line up.

If there's a reason why Aitlen and Mann can't be in the centres, I don't see it.

Of course, McGregor will do what McGregor does.
