That does put us at a disadvantage in recruiting young talent. Why would a 16/17 year old halfback look at signing for us when in the last 5 years we have had Sandow, Brown, Gidley, Austin and Widdop. They stand a far better chance at pretty much any other club.

Patton has played 100 first team games over that time period.

How many would he have had if he was at Saints, where they've had Lance Hohaia, Travis Burns, Luke Walsh, Theo Fages,...they played Jordan Turner at stand off for a while, they brought Matty Smith back, Danny Richardson, Jonny Lomax....

Look how quickly they moved on from Richardson - would Patton have been given more patience or would they have dropped him behind Fages and Lomax?

What about if he was at Wigan, where he'd have been competing with Tommy Leuluai, Matty Smith, George Williams, Sam Powell. Wigan didn't exactly show much patience with Josh Woods, last year they brought in Jarrod Sammut rather than give a young lad a chance.

Would Patton have got over 100 first team games at Wigan?

Am I the only one who hasn’t failed to see the irony of the wanted poster for that individual displayed on a screen outside the HJ? (Guardian article photo)

Obviously the digital media team was as equally peed off as the coaching staff...

We missed a trick though - could have had Wolfie in a Bobby’s outfit meeting him at the airport.

Laughed out load and nearly choked on my coffee

Roy the boy, where do we start?!?! To be fair I still smile to myself when I recall him putting the fear of god into Ryan Bailey when running straight at him with some gusto and Ryan then buying a dummy that never was and just letting him though. One of very few memories or should I say good memories of RA.

If he only made 3 games in a season that was so poor...how can he be held responsible if he seldom played?
