At times I was thinking 'Patton's playing really well here' and then he'd throw it into touch. Sublime to the ridiculous.

It's very easy to home in on one lousy pass...then dismiss him for the whole game isn't it.

Give over, give the lad credit when he deserves it...he gets enough shaat.

He scored more than half our points.

He played well yesterday on the whole and has done alright this season. He's a good third choice and probably on a par with our first choice option anyway. Next year will be different, obviously in terms of quality.

After what happened to brown leading to us losing our first choice halfback, Potentially for the season I'm glad we had patton in the ranks, it could have been a awful lot worse.

Absolutely spot on...Patton played well yesterday and still some on here are slating him..

And will continue to do so,scoring a try and kicking some goals does not make you an over night sensation.he still made some howlers in that game but people over look that because of the try and goals. I don’t hate the lad but he is not the player we need.

No I think you might if you cannot except a performance that was puts him easily in the top 5 players in that game yesterday...you have issues.

Just lol given some of the comments from you regarding him,are you that character from Harry Enfield that just agrees with whoever says what’s best.

Ps so one game makes everything ok,get a grip it needs to be consistent not the odd game,yes players can have bad games but he has had more than most.

I don't know who you mean..however I don't agree with your post.
Focusing on efforts that didn't come off above the key elements that won us the game.

It really comes across as though you do (hate him) whether you mean to or not.

Re: Dec Patton : Sun May 26, 2019 11:36 am  

He played well for the most part, but like others have said he then went and made some eye rolling errors. Launching a ball into touch, at one point he threw a ball 30 metres across the pitch to nobody too. He still gets caught running down a blind alley often. Feel like his concentration levels dip too frequently.

It's not the errors he makes its the TYPE of errors. Almost non of them are ever forced for one. They're just basic brain farts that need not happen. But YES, yesterday his contribution outweighed the negatives. Well done Dec.

I thought that the ball into touch incident had as much to do with Currie and the winger being too far forward of the passer.
