Euan aitken injury ?

[stg666]

anyone heard anything ? said on WIN news last night he has had to pull out of U/20s due to knee problem . :?

It's a hamstring injury, not to bad, will be good to play against Souths!! The kid is playing really well!

 

[SweetandSoward]

Only problem is he gets pushed back all the time. He has trouble bending the line. He ain't a big centre

 

[TheRev]

he needs to switch sides.. es not stepping anybody on the left.. hes just bashing ppl and pushing them.. just plugging a hole.. age old problem that until we lose its unlikely to change.

He may not be big but her is very fit and very very strong. Most centres don't average over 100 metres a game and he is averaging over 130 metres a game at an average of 15 runs. And that is without any genuine space. So, I'm not sure where you get the impression he gets pushed back all the time when he is only behind Trent Merrin in terms of hit up metres per game.

I was thinking the exact same thing lol, an the fact the kid is still only 19 an it takes three grown men to put him down the kid is a unit an unbelievablely strong.

I sure hope his injury is a quick recovery along the lines of a Matt Cooper type country rep game injury.

I don't really know if Aitken has any pace, haven't really seen him in the clear. He takes the ball up hard but doesn't seem to get the ball away very often. Probably playing to instructions. He will only get better.

 

[Kuro]

The kid is unbelievably strong for his age.. can't wait to see him with a couple more seasons under his belt.

 

[stg666]

he should be on the right side to start with , and to date he hasn't got the ball with any space ...........that will come .

 

[Hutty1986]

He's got great leg drive and just needs a bit more footy close to the line and he'll start scoring a few more tries. Very, very solid.

Of course its not a genuine injury. Why in earth NRL players would be selected for an age group match is perplexing.

Dinosaur mentality.

Don't agree,pretty happy with his hitups and his defence.Some of his hits in defence have been effective.
Would like to see himwork on his passing game when he feels more confident.

His a right centre but this left centre play will make him even better
