You keep saying this as if it automatically makes him a better player.
Mark Flanagan won a grand final playing at stand off, Lee Briers never. Doesn’t make Flanagan better.

| I can see why Widdop has played alot of Fullback, he's deadly in open and broken play but seems to lack the organisational skills i thought he was going to bring to us to be honest.
I thought he played well tonight, really don't care what other people think of that. He was taking on the line and trying his butt off, King is getting flack from people on here which i find bizzare. He was pretty much our best player on the field. Caused a complete headache in attack for Wigan to deal with and was all over the field.
That fact we didn't play Robson i find bizzarre and again puts even more doubt about price and his decisions.
Was BMM injured? Not sure why he didn't play?
I think Mamo getting injured has sorted the "where do we play Ashton" problem if he will be out for awhile which is a shame.
VERY light bench for me but Akauola would have been blown off the park if he played and Latu just isn't very good, so if BMM is injured who else would we play?
Kibula, Johson?
I personally would have put Doro on the bench, although Robson would have done a good job if we'd actually played him.
I don't want to suddenly be negative and say that's our season over already, but with the way we've played over a few years it's hard not too.
Also might just be me not spotting him but i haven't seen Andrew Henderson for ages, you see Briers with Price so where's Hendo? Is he pitchside with the players?

| Widdop was a marquee signing who's delivered very little in the time he's been here that's very disappointing.. I agree with Duckie get Patton out there but which one goes widdop or Austin or move steff to HB...also agree with king in the 2nd row

Patton isn't the future, we need to know if Riley Dean is.

If Patton is the answer then we really are done for as a club to be taken seriously.
Price picking Patton is him simply signing his own resignation letter. It'd be an admittance of his failure to get the best from players we are paying marquee money for.

Based on this seasons appearances patton would offer us more than widdop currently has. Patrons passing is better than both widdop and Austin his pass selection has let him down previously.
Too much emphasis is put on our halfs !! If we look bereft of ideas it's down to our halfs having few options rather than their own ability, the convoluted obstruction interpretations are killing them. Would austin and Patton have failed if currie Hughes gelling king ratchford bmm had been giving them good viable options to attack the line. Its naive to think that just having two marquee halfs we will be good going forward when were not giving them many options. How many times did Austin receive an offload on the 5th completely taking him out of the last play attack ?? Is having hill and cooper taking a drive on the 4rmth in the opposition 20 the best year of a tackle ? We put everything on that last tackle play and hope it pays off
I would not be unhappy if patton is go get a game it maybe what one of our marquee signings need

| Based on what I saw v Salford, Riley Dean is preferable to Patton.
Widdop to FB
Ratchford to stand-off
Doro, Walker, Philbin, Davis on the bench
If Mamo was fit I'd move King to 2nd row, Mamo to centre and bin off Jason Clark.
However, there's more chance of me being awarded an OBE in person by Queen Lizzie and spending the afternoon slurping the Harvey's and listening to "The Queen is Dead"

Other than desperation, on what basis are you suggesting Patton being fetched in for one of Widdop or Austin would be a good move?
Are we just supposed to forget his previous performances and suddenly imagine he's turned into a SL level half back overnight?

Patton only gets let off because he's a local lad..
The fact he's still at the clubs says a lot about us, any of the other top 4 clubs would of shipped him on years ago...

Far from it but the performances of widdop all season and the last few from Austin suggest a change is needed..and price as done that..had Patton performed like Austin in the last few games you'd of been on here criticizing like you always do with Patton..a shake up was needed or are you happy with Austin and widdop

The only basis is to send some kind of gesture to Widdop/Austin that we're able to drop a big name if necessary, to act as some kind of kick up the booty.
Dropping players to send a message works if there's an understudy champing at the bit to come in, who then makes the spot his own and means the guy who was dropped has a struggle getting back in the team.
In this situation though, Patton will do feck all, the coach will be roundly criticised by the fans for picking a substrength side and and after a game or two he'll have to go back with his tail between his legs and start picking Widdop/Austin again.
