Not sure i would say he’s playing well. Far too many passes are miss timed and go behind the man. It’s invariably Patton who is guilty.
He’s doing ok, but he’s not kicking on as he should. A top 2 team should not be picking a mid table at best half back. That should be resolved next year at least.

Halfway to being the most successful Warringtonian halfback in our entire history...?

Long way to go to be compared to Bobby Fulton.

Did anyone see Martin Offiah waiting for Patton at the stairs of the royal box/vip area. He stopped him for a chat...you can see it on the BBC programme.
He has probably earned a zero to his contract value.

Don't be silly. Patton won't get a look in next year. One swallow doesn't make a summer.

Hence my post.
Isn't Offiah a player agent?
He can see dollars.

It was probably his best game in a warrington shirt. Solid defence.

If you wanted to be picky, you could point out the 2 kicks.. first one that went wrong side of the flag, gave saints a full set, which they almost turned into a try (right at the end of the first half)... Second one where he kicked out on the full right on our own line, which lead to the saints try.... But im not being picky, so i wont.

Save for the two mentioned exceptions, I though Pattons kicking game was fantastic on Saturday and played a huge part in us being able to keep Saints out when they had their periods of pressure.

I don't think we will have the cap space to improve his contract and for me given the season on the whole he arguably doesn't deserve it. We have widdop and austin next season, with Ratchford and Dean (and Hughes when we play saints) as cover. If we keep him as cover then great, if he wants to leave in search of full time opportunities then best wishes to the lad, I hope he makes a good career from the game either way. He may end the season with another medal yet before anything is decided.

The first one you mentioned was Ratchford, wasn't it?

I would agree. It makes sense for Dec to leave at the end of the season on a big high. We need a creative HB, one that can punch holes in a defence and that aspect of his game is lacking. Riley Dean is getting to the stage where he will need some games after a settling in period in the Reserves next year, so 4 HB's is one too many.

Yep.

my bad.... it was indeed.

There was a Ratchford kick that went out behind the line early on. Pattons was a couple of minutes before half time and it hit the corner flag so a 20m restart with 7 tackles just when you needed to get in the sheds! That was inexcusable! There was no need to get it so deep just get it in touch for a breather! If you watch closely Currie gives him a right rollocking!!
