The team have looked visibly tired the last few games... hopefully a rest will do us the world of good.

Think we definitely need to swap Knight and Aydin, split Knight and Ese Ese up and Aydin is much more effective as a starter.

Aydin bit of the pace compared to last year .... Hopefully takes the ball up more ......like to see Eseh get more minutes as does seem a handful 

My opinion on Aydin is that he stood out last year because he was much fitter than everyone else, now fitness levels are up across the board he doesn't stand out as much.


He does the little things well (defensive efforts, kick chase etc) but overall I think he's a pretty average player. Doesn't seem to have the grunt in attack which you'd argue the likes of Ese'ese/Knight/Eseh JR and Ashworth have over him.


Still got age on his side for a forward but I think he realistically should be seen as a squad player should we have top 4 ambitions in the next couple years.

Aydin is too small.  He would be better in the 2nd row or cover for asiata at 13.  He's pretty mobile although doesn't seem that quick.  Is he contracted for another year or two?
