EUAN AITKEN

[Dragsters]

ZERO tries conceded through our right centre.

So much this...

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Anyone see how Euan went in reggies? Did he pass the ball?

I didn’t watch it, but I will confidently say “no”.

They got pumped and he didn’t score either of our 2 tries so I’ll take a stab and say he acted like a 7 yr old having a tanty. The sooner he pisses off to anywhere the better. Maybe Gitano can give everyone here a full and thorough rundown of his effort vs Wests, I have a spare 3 secs ( did jack $hit )

Saab got a try though which is a surprise, I thought once a ball passed through the largest blackhole in the universe aka Aitkens hands it never come out the other side. Cutout pass maybe or a kick?

Ha ha I just watched the highlights of the game and Saab scores a 70 m try after Wests dropped the ball. So no help from Euan the useless flop

"Six years has flown by" - Aitken reflects on Dragons career
Departing Dragons centre Euan Aitken reflects on a career that saw him move from the far South Coast to play 121 games for the Dragons and become a mainstay in the squad for six seasons.

From
Memory
He has played two good games

the intercept to win the game against the raiders

and

playing Souths opposite GI

( that maybe a little unkind )

 

[tumbidragon]

Sure didn't fly by for us Euan... Good luck over the ditch though.

 

[TruSaint]

I wish him the best, it wasn't his fault he was continually chosen. Had a handful of good games. Good luck.

"Six years has flown by" - Aitken

No Euan.

It has f**king not flown by.

Not for the fans.

 

[redv13]

Must admit that night he dominated GI was pretty special. Tried hard but geez you wouldn’t want him passing for your life would you??

I admit I was one fan who thought he could be rep level.
However, that was way off the mark. I honestly wish him the best. I have battered him on here for years.

I always thought with the right coach and not having to read the play in sliding defense and just tuck the ball under his arm and run hard could end up being a handy backrower ......

 

[getsmarty]

Yep...showed glimpses of what he could have been capable of this year with flannos help. All the best for the future Euan.

If I was skillful on internet tech, Im sure I would find a post or 2 where I said the same bro, back a few years now.

 

[Dragsters]

Whilst I was not happy with him being constantly selected regardless of form, this was no fault of his, but that of his inept mccoach.

I am expecting Aitken to improve dramatically next year under an actual proper first grade coach.

Good luck to him...

 

[possm]

Lacking the basic skills required for an NRL centre - defence, passing and setting up your winger - I have to admit it has been very frustrating for me and so I am glad to see the back of him.

It will be interesting to see what Brown does with him.

 

[jak]

played nrl for us did his best cant ask for more than that

Poor old Pereira had to play outside him. I only saw Aitken throw 3 or 4 passes his way and they were rubbish, was covered by three or four defenders each time. I think Pereira would have had, say Lomax inside him, he may have been more effective. Anyway I wish Aitken all the best, he may improve under Nathan Brown, particularly in passing and his shaky defense.
