Can only imagine surplus to requirements, with Austin and if Widdop to come in,maybe also to free up cap space. Isn't Kevin Brown still contracted to them.

Tough one re Patton. Looked the real deal when he first come on the scene, but hasn't really made one of the half back spots his own, but then you look at the calibre some of the halves Warrington have had in the past 3-4 seasons. Add in Ratchford who can also play there. Hardly surprising.

Maybe a change of club could be just what Patton needs now, to try to firmly establish himself

I believe my post was accurate he is their third choice hooker.

Pretty sure brown went to Leigh on loan and being 36 years old probably doesn’t feature in Warringtons plans. Patton tbh has been really inconsistent for them

Kevin Brown has signed for Salford I think for next season.

Young Cunningham from London fits the bill

Hookers are probably the one position that SL has always had plenty of quality, there are plenty of decent hookers out there.

at what point does a player improve in your eyes, cannot someone be signed and retain a first team place or will they always be a 3rd choice

That’s why, I made no comment on his ability only his ranking at Salford who are also releasing Tompkins I believe.
