If the report is believed they are quoting 110,000 aus dollars which is about 65000 pounds. The next 3 years will tell us if it was money well spent

Not sure why the fee is relevant?

Wayne Bennett seemed to think he was alright too...?

Is Kev a goalkicker by any chance ?
If not ,i suggest Patton needs to play anyway for his goalkicking since Mr Gidley is not our best kicker.

I think Patton's future is secure with Gidley and Brown next season and the big IF Williams signs I hope RD is right he's usually not far off then he has Brown and Williams, three to rotate, if Williams doesn't sign at least Brown will be in place and we go from there, I agree with the posts he offers plenty of options from inside the twenty.

I feel Keeping Patton is a must letting one of our own talents and very good goal kicker go at such a young age would be a big mistake.

Not sure why it's an either/or with Brown/Patton. Brown is effectively replacing Sandow (assuming he comes) so how is Patton in a worse position?

You can add another £30k to that.

Patton will be playing for Wire next season, Williams is not leaving Wigan.

source?

Patton will be fine all part of rotation, I feel though he would work better with Gidley or Brown rather than a Gidley/Brown combination, but hey what do I know we shall see just an opinion.

Strange one my Widnes mate who told me about Brown claims it's twelve months and 100k! Asked him to confirm he says he will give me a call tomorrow, I'm only repeating what I've been told.
