aitken?

[Twenty10]

He was man of the match in my opinion.

 

[Weipa Dragon]

Very good centre. Made Farrell look like nt bush league centr.

 

[Cagey Mac]

An accidental hero methinks
Time for Mary to think outside the square
Well done!

 

[Country Dragon]

Very good centre. Made Farrell look like nt bush league centr.

Farrell wouldn't get a start in a decent bush team, he is f**ked!

 

[Twenty10]

Farrell has to be dropped. Remember Mary off loaded him to the sharks this year... Farrel failed his fitness test at sharks and they sent him back! So Mary also doesn't rate him highly. I just dont get why he gets picked over peter M. Hopefully that changes next week.

 

[TheRev]

He did pick up an injury in that barnstorming run down field, hopefully it's nothing serious.. Tbh id rather him not risk himself trying to carry blokes down field at this age!

 

[dragonsman4eva]

Since he came in to 20s he has been a standout in my opinion and a better talent than jack bird. I hope he wears the dragons number 3 for a very long time

 

[BigH]

See you can find talent in your own backyard, let's hope there a few more youngsters out there who can push for the top grade

 

[dragonsman4eva]

From last years under 20s team, Aitken, Fonua Blake, Hutchinson and Dufty can all have long careers in the red v.

in all fainess cd the only three things holding farrell back are speed heart and ability!

Aiken played well and I am sure will only get better with each game. I'd like to see Gaz as his mentor/personal coach. He is young Dragon with heaps of talent and would develop into a great center with a little help from Gaz.

I'd like to see Aiken moved to right center next week and Mata Utia play at left enter. If possible, this should be our first choice center combination for the rest of the season.

Agreed wholeheartedly Possum !

Cooper and Gaz as mentors for the Centres.

Aitken was elusive, ran hard and brought some real urgency and energy to the position.

Farrell and Neilsen to Cutters to cover the younger guys in case of injury, or when they run flat as will inevitably occur later on in the year as the weekly grind blunts there enthusiasm.

He is also strong for a young fella who isn't the largest 3/4. That hit up late in the 2nd where made 10 metres and then another 15+ carrying 3 blokes while they tried to put him on the ground. Great effort that late in the game from a bloke under 100kgs.

To think though, we could have a 3/4 line of Jack Bird one side and Euan on the other. Could have been a great combo.

Should have seen some of the tries he scored in NYVNYC last year. Could consistently carry 4 guys over the line

 

[BlackDuckSaint]

I would rather see Runciman on the left and Aitken on the right. Runciman has always played well when given an opportunity.

 

[stg666]

as a young boy he could do it all . capable of filling in for many positions !

Runciman, at left centre, is great at getting good ball out to his winger - just what Nabuli needs. I don't know why he hasn't cracked a spot in 1sts. I never get to see Cutters games these days - has Charlie been off form or what ?

Isn't he injured? Hand I think.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned on this thread or elsewhere on the forum, but I noticed that EA had 8 tackle breaks for the game, which is exceptional for a guy on debut. To give this some perspective, only two players made more in the NRL so far in round 3; tedesco and feki. This kid is going to be a real handful.
