Patterson wont play again..advised to retire bad neck injury

Only saying what Cory said,he might retire who's knows till it's anounced but he said he'll be back sooner rather than later unless he was saying it to keeps fans happy

Ok we'll see

Yep we'll see

Well he either does or doesn't - but one way or another it would be better all round if it was sooner rather than later so that we can plan accordingly

He's done lads , guess we'll hear soon

Losing Patterson would be a massive blow he is a really talented player and, had he been fit, he could have helped out in the centres or halves! I hope he is able to return soon.

As for our performances and the lack of enterprise /ability we can point the finger directly to our halfbacks.
If you look around at Cas, Gale/Roberts , Salford, Dobson/Liu, Wigan, Leului/ Williams they have played pretty much all of their respective teams games and, their clubs positions reflect that consistency required from your halbacks!
Last season, our partnership of Ridyard/Drinkwater proved to be highly successful for us and the envy, of many others! This season, probably due mainly to injuries we have not had that consistency. Its my opinion that Ben Reynolds is not god enough for this level of Rugby, try as he might! Josh Drinkwater has been injured and doesn't look to be moving freely? I firmly believe that Martyn Ridyard is more than capable of leading us around, ( Garry Schofield was predicting an England call for him) ! Whats gone wrong here? Against HKR, Stewart was receiving what should have been Martyn's ball and Reynolds, was taking all the kicks!! If our coaches don't now fancy Ridyard, make him available, there will be plenty takers! Ill bet John Kear will be glad if Ridyard is omitted from the teamsheet this week, he knows very well what Riddy can do and, Wakefield were one of first clubs rumoured to be interested in him last season!
Brian Carney and Phil Clarke are wondering what has happened to us since our early season performances? If they'd bothered to find out they would know the horrendous Injury and suspensions we are dealing with!
I wonder how Wakey would feel about tackling this line up?
1/ McNally
2/Higson
3/Brown
4/Tonga
5/Clare

6/Ridyard
7/Drinkwater / Hampshire

8/Hock
9/Higham
10/Weston
11/Patterson
12/Stewart
13/Hansen

14/Hood
15/Acton
16/Maria
17/Hopkin

I've not selected Crooks he's only on loan! McNally has the classiest pair of hands at the club and, if the aforementioned team took the field, he wouldn't need to defend

He's becoming an actor from what I've just read been cast in a film

Mish when I first saw this it said ' a former borough RL star'...which has now been removed !

Best of luck to Cory..Hope he comes back and buys the LSV when the money pours in..

Agree Atomic. Good luck to him. He's not going to play till he is 60 but he could act till then and beyond.

Well an esteemed organ such as Wiggin T'day needs to be taken quite seriously. It seems that they don't mean real acting though only film/ TV type multi-take waste of time stuff. Then again CP would have made a better Reacher than the Scientologist Dwarf. Lee once told Bongser (over a very strong coffee you understand) that when he was creating the character of Reacher he was picturing Lawrence Dallaglio. CP shorter but not as much of a childish sell out as Cruise.
