2nd tier rugby in NZ thats akin to playing Northwest counties open age over here, he was a good player for us in a below average team which doesn't say a great lot.

=========================================
You,ve no idea mate when he played for Leigh he was the ONE PLAYER
other teams feared he was the ONE player who made things happen
and believe it or not during quite a spell he was playing injured
Top player better than anything we have at this present time
and would be a sensation partnering Durbin at halfback

I would n`t put him ahead of Varley,Ford,Beardmore,Johnson,Donohue but thats my opinion.
===========================================

Varley n Beardmore had class and where good players others
alreet Herm in my opinion better than the lot of them..

Reading some of the views of the NZ Warriors fans they want him in the first team and he was the 18th man in their last game I think. I don't know where you were in his last season for us but he carried us throughout the season and it could of been a lot worse had he not been here.

Have 2 put my 4 penneth in on this one re Aaron.

I,d happily have him back cos he was worth his place in the side and always gave 100%. I wasn,t best pleased when he was going to Widnes but sadly for him,after all it was his job, they went into administration.

For me he would have been a relevation at hooker but I,m like that. I always think I know better than coaches who should play where.

I can never understand why I was never appointed coach at Wigan. You have no idea what I could have done there.

I suppose Brian Noble and I are trying to achieve the same things. Mind you with me it wouldn,t have taken so long.

Errr you can read I suppose? well just read my post again and see what was written not what you imagine was.

I would love Aaron back! the shortcomings in his game, ie the boot, is what watson excels in, it would allow him to sit back more and do what he's good at, leaving aaron to take the line on with his undoubted pace and footwork, not to mention a nifty hand off for a little fella. How many times did he single handedly drag us out of the S**T single handedly with a try from nothing or a big play?! The try away at whitehaven under the sticks after stepping through a tiny gap and shrugging a couple of challengers off comes to mind for me. Those who fail to rate heremaias contribution at 7 as being one of, if not THE best scrum-half since 71 are talking tripe.

Sorry not in the top 6 scrum halfs for Leigh since 71, had a good year with us and I would have him back but best since 71 ?????????
