would be good if you can get andrew ryan aswell

He's a great signing for you guys.

Also shows that your board is confident of another SL licence, which I guess would be a big factor in him signing.

Absolutely quality signing for us, its a shame that Fitzy will probably be on his way, hes been a great servant to the club but its time to move forward, I'll be sad to see him leave and I hope for the best of him in the future!

He said hes staying at Canterbury seeing out his contract.

Great news and it sends all sorts of messages to all sorts of people

To rugby league is sends a message that salford are preparing to take the step from minow to matcho in the rugby league world all that is needed is more quality rugby league players like Mr Patten who see salford city reds as a vehicle to achieve success in their career.

To the current buch of lucky buggers who have the privolige to be in the position of wearing the shirt right now it shows that the Salford city Reds club are moving to the next level and to keep your privalage of playing for such a forward thinking positive rugby league club you will need to take the step up, all journeys start with a step and this is no different.

To us the fans and follows of our great club, wow we go and sign a genuine australian superstar who isnt injured, old or damaged goods, lets go out tell the world using all kinds of media outlets lets try and build on the positive news and see where we go.

And finally Mr Patten welcome to Salford City Reds, British Rugby leagues nervous giant, with the new stadium being built and obviously more talented players like you and on board the future looks very rosey

The only piece of advice would be salfords red army can be your best friend or your worst nightmare, great players like yourself have come to salford and havnt been able to deal with the pressure that wearing the shirt brings
Perform, give 100% produce the goods when wearing our shirt thats all we as fans can ask for, Rome wasnt built in a day and it wasnt built by one man, do your bit proffessionally and you can go home after 3 years safe in the knowledge you gave it your best shot.

well said ,

Just found this. Shows hopefully what we can expect from the General. Holdsworth also pops up a few times. Worth a look...

nice signing well done

Absolutely buzzing my nads off with this signing, best singning in years, I rate him higher than Brett Hodgson, hes still a great player in the NRL and to have him in such a key position makes it even better. I see the Salford Reds are rising!!!

I remember Cas signing a Thirty something from the Bulldogs

like said he is a quality signing. Hope he links up well with holdsworth! i hope we sign Tandy as well!

Tandy staying at the Bulldogs

Bugger, really?

dont think tandys is any good, id like to see you go for a better quality forward then him

Apparently so, been offered and accepted a 12 month contract extension.
