A lot of people eating their words tonight. Thought he was brilliant in the first half and tough in defence all night

Plenty on here got some humble pie to eat. He was outstanding first half and would have been second half if we’d controlled the ball better. Plenty of mouth, arrogant, confident little scrum half with plenty of ability. Loved the way he was shouting and balling at his forwards and to a man they respected what he was saying!

I've seen enough from Aston tonight to suggest he's a better fit in our team than Rankin. More tenacious in defence and more direct in attack. Can read the game better too by the looks of it, i very much doubt Rankin would of been on the end of the break toll score like Corey did.

I've said it before on this forum, that the lads been chomping at the bit to play Super League and just wants game time. He let no one down tonight.

For two young half backs working together for the 1st time they did well that 1st half.it was good to have an actuall half back playing half back which has let peanut go back to full back where i thort he was brilliant and that last tackle on bjb was outstanding.we seemed to have a good flow on both sides with this setup

Did a good job tonight. Stood up in defence. Took his try well. Shocker of a kick though straight at Reynolds. Could have been a game killer. But overall pleased with his efforts. He should be chuffed with himself.

Played well tonight, another [REMOVED] signing by DP :D That shirt is his to lose now. Was it just me or did him and Truey have a real good partnership and understanding?

Aston offered us something different with his running and he complimented truey well.i'd like to see him retain the jersey for Catalans.

Did ok for a first game, especially first half but took a fee wrong options in the second. Defended well throughout though and deserves to keep his spot for Catalan.

Did a monster tackle 2nd half near the line, excellent! However was on 1872 porter so might have made this up.

now just you aston looked to organise the back line better than trueman . trueman offers nothing in attack apart from is kicking game never takes the line on and looks clue less when comes to complex planned moves over rated for me. Aston be off back to Gateshead when ranking or ellis are back .we are third think reflects how poor the standards in super league as being this year so far. brough would have had a field day today against them two even at his age . Gale injury is really effecting are attacking game .

Its been a long time coming for Aston to be given his chance, in the first half he gave a great account of himself I think in the second half he was feeling the pace of a super league game, the lad can only improve with more games at this level and should be in the team sheet on Monday

Maybe a one off but last night he showed he compliments Trueman and would be a good long term replacement for Gale. Aston follows up kicks very well and won us a drop out or two as well as not being afraid to take on the opposition.

Reminded me of a Rangi Chase type player.

Problem we now have is that if he does keep playing well and earns the starting spot for now (until Gale is back) if other clubs come calling he may leave as it took so long for Cas to give him his shot.

You might as well stop watching then until Gale comes back if that's your outlook on it.

You have to smile he's gone from just someone that idiot gill bought because hed not got a clue what he was doing and can't wait to end of season to get shut of him to give him a new contract quick before saints come for him
Even tho he played against a poor featherstone side on boxing day I thought he had a bit about him and deserved a chance with us having injurys in the halves

As a lot to prove.
One game (yesterday) don’t make him a world beater.
For a debut he did himself plenty of favours.
As plenty of speed nippy and takes the line on.
Also as no fear in hitting the big men.
He as to keep this going now if he wants to stay in the team. Would imagine he’s a shoe in for Monday.

Definitely a 8/10
