Not including NRL hookers, Paul Aiton has been SL's standout this season and is one of the big factors in Leeds' performances.
Before Saints fans get their knickers in a twist, I really rate Roby - he's a machine. But this year Aitons's been fantastic.

Ian Henderson not top? You're slipping, Barry.

Paul Aiton, has been the best hooker in SL this season.

No, he really hasn't.

Taking into account this season only, yes he has. He's been sensational. A different level to last year, which has a lot to do with him being given suitable playing time.

Don't take this as a slight to Roby, who I really rate as one of the world's best. But Aiton's style has really complimented Leeds this year.

How much have you watched Saints? He's been amazing for us, possibly his best season yet. If Aiton is doing better than that, then Aiton is a better player fullstop. He's not stood out in the games I've seen. He was good on Friday, but it's easy to play nine when the side is marching forwards like that. He also spent a lot of time off the field.

I wouldn't personally put Ailton above Roby. Individually Roby for me is better. From our team perspective Ailton is a good fit and having a good year, I would be including Ailton in the list though above pelissier!!

Aiton defo. On that list on his current form.Pellisier?? Who made this list?..oh i see its Jean. And there is only Cameron Smith above Roby in world rugby as far as hookers go imo,the guy is outstanding.

Aiton should be in there, wether him or Roby is the best in super league this season is up for debate, but on this season alone nothing in it, Roby probably the better player all round but Aiton as been superb.

Luke
Smith
Granville
Hodgson
Segeyaro
Roby

Simple question

Would you swap your own teams 9 for Aiton or Roby

Do you qualify that with current form or reputation?

Eloi Pelissier above Aiton?

lol

I've been really impressed with Jake Granville at the Cows & Michael Ennis has gone well at the Sharkies & just as irksome as he's always been.

Over here erm, probably Aiton, but he is on the telly quite a lot, so probably more noticeable.

Catalans must think so as they are desperately trying to sign Aiton

The best SL hookers on this year's form are Roby and Aiton.

The best NRL hookers on this year's form are Smith, Granville, Ennis, Hodgson and Peats.

To round out the ten I'd have Luke, Segeyaro and Farah, who are top quality players who've been injured for fair parts of the season.

Wouldn't know what order to put them in, other than Smith being at the top.

There's one on the end of Great Northern Street who isn't bad......charges a bit much though !!

On form or not Cameron Smith is miles ahead of anyone. You'd have to go back to Buderus (in his prime, he was good at Leeds but better prior to that) to find someone comparable.

Roby is the beat in SL without doubt but Aiton on current form has been outstanding (arguably better than roby, not that that makes him a better player given how ridiculously consistent Roby has been for years)

As soon as I saw the thread title I was hoping to see a similar sort of joke.

Wasn't disappointed.

Micky Mac.

Is that her name?

Pellisier, friend - not for me. In no particular order

Smith
Farah
Ennis
Segryaro
Roby
Jake friend
Granville
Peats
McCullough
Josh hodgson

Struggled to find a place for licha but could easily have swapped him with 4 of the above, same for luke who will only get better.

Aiton's had a great season at Leeds but Roby is better IMO. There's only Cameron Smith and Robbie Farah who I'd rate more highly than him.
