Russ Aitken or Greg Bird

[imasharkie]

Who should be our 5/8 for now and next season IMO Russ should be given the job.

 

[Special K]

Russ is the best 19 year old 5/8 and Greg is the best 20 year old one.. Meh I'd keep them both.

Russ played half a game, I don't think you can give him the job just yet. I'd like to see him be 6 next week though with the star birdy in PL

 

[wittyfan]

I'd have Aitken before Birdy.

 

[Macca]

I don't think Bird is a 5/8th. Depending on injuries they both might be there.

 

[Rieck_Fan]

Aitken on first impressions on him in first grade should be there instead of Bird.

 

[Foz]

Aitken looks like he can control a game. He wont have to do it while Kimmorley is here but he stood up to be counted tonight.
Bird hasnt stood up while we've been down before that I can remember.
Russ showed a lot of ticker I thought.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Raper has to seriously give the kid a go for the rest of the year.

The kid is Russell Aitkin!!

How can he show his wares playing in dopey league.

We had so much more variety in attack when he was on.
We actually had the opposition second guessing what we were going to do.
Three points of attack

Kimmorley
Aitkin
Sullivan

The worst thing Bird could of done for his career is kneeing Shane Martenee.

However, it could be one of the best things he has done for the Sharks

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

Yes, IMO Bird has no place in first grade, in second grade yes. Aitken is a great player who hasnt just performed last night, but in Premier League also. Give him a go against the Panthers!

yes they will probally have their young halves instead of Campbell and Gower so there will be alot less pressure.

 

[shadowboxer]

enjoy your career as the new billy harrigan bird :lol: :lol:

 

[Sharkie Army Gorilla]

Going On Last Nights Match Russ Aitken Gets The Job Easy, Ive Never Liked Greg Bird He Never Passes the ball he is a hog. Russ Aitken 4 number 6

 

[Sheros los Deros]

Aitken's clearly got more potential than Bird.

Bird's future is in the forwards.

 

[NthCronullaLocal]

It was good to see Russ have a good game last night. I was one of the people calling for his inclusion and while one game does not mean everything I think he should again be included in the side next week.
He did not put a foot wrong and like i have mentioned before he is all class when he has got the ball, it is not hard to see that. In PL he just did not get it enough ball because of the style they play. Hopefully a few of the Aitken bashers were silenced last tonight.
I dont mind Bird and have never once knocked him about his ego, kneeing etc like other people. With his limited ball playing skills though i would stick him in the forwards and if that does not work out send him packing.

 

[Me Luv Stevo]

id put in russ put bird in PL
see how he goes then put him back in firsts against newcastle

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

Bird has to go into the category of having to prove himself as a 1st grade player unlike being put their no matter what his performance. I dont think he will prove himself though :shock:

 

[imasharkie]

And now that Noddy's out for a few weeks Aitken will have to go to 1/2 I would imagine or do we leave him at 5/8 and promote...........who?

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

I recon Aitken at 1/2 and Dumas at 5/8

 

[coolumsharkie]

Reefy, SS???

Comments....?
:lol:

Clearly Aitken has more talent now I've seen him go around..(finally)...

Like someone else said he started off slow and had trouble reading the quicker first grade defence...but proved his spot IMO.

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

If Aitken isnt in the team against Panthers I would be pist. Hes got talent! To add to this he got a nice try set up and scored by himself.
