I keep forgetting were exempt from the cap and can have world class internationals from 1-17.

From the games I've seen he's done well, been involved in trys, linked up very well with Austin who himself has played very well. For some he will never he Good enough and if we are successful that would all be Austin. He won't be on mega money and if he is covering widdop n Austin next year then that is a win for the club

And thats why it's exactly 'this again"....because we've seen 'countless''options'...and near zero, 'well perhaps I was wrong about Patton' 'Patton is playing well'....

Like I said....all the knockers curled up in their hermit shell praying for him to screw up so they can jump out and say 'I told you so'...''the duck is wrong again'....
All being so proud to yourselves....

Re: Dec Patton : Sun Feb 24, 2019 12:22 pm  

His defense was poor on Friday missing nine tackles with some of them leading to breaks - that needs to be better.

His attempted wide ball to Lineham was poor both in execution and game management - should leave that type of play to Austin or Ratchford.

When he stuck to the "simple" stuff he was perfectly adequate and his kick for Atkins' try was excellent.

Overall I think Friday fell on the negative side of the balance whilst the first two games had been positives.

Don’t think anyone is praying for him to screw up,people have made their opinions and this is just you stirring the pot,sometimes I wonder are these threads just about you and what you think,you love the attention you get wether it be negative or positive it does not matter to you. Anyway Patton is not super league quality I wish he was, he has had plenty of time to prove otherwise.

No body is knocking him, he's a squad player doing an adequate job to his level of ability, in the absence of Brown. That's just it with DP, level of ability, as (for me) he's not quite as good as GOB was during his spell here doing the same squad players job. If you continue to build him up to be something greater than what he is, then you'll continue to attract the posts that you're complaining about. Next year, he's back up (again) to Widdop and Austin. This makes me think, that should an offer come, he'll be up moving up the A49, as there's changes afoot at our neighbours.

Re: Dec Patton : Sun Feb 24, 2019 6:52 pm  

I would be very surprised if anybody is hoping Patton fails just so they can prove somebody wrong on here.
I hope Patton does well. He has had more opportunities than most other halbacks that have come through our system. This is his biggest chance.
I am happy to give him a bit of time to build a combination with Goodwin, lineham and hopefully Currie soon.
I have to admit that I am not convinced but I would be happy to come on here and congratulate duckie for his foresight if Patton picks up the Harry Sunderland trophy and a winners ring.

Would that be the Brown who was regularly crucified on here ? Wonderful thing nostalgia.
