Quote: gazmeister_89 "the way i see it, if pat was as 'fit' as finch there would be no doubt he wouls be in the team. i put finch in apostrophes as he cannot be considered fit, which showed on friday, he took a long time to get into the game and was subbed out which would never happen if he was truly fit. i do feel sorry for finch, if he had a couple of less high profile games with which to create an understanding with the wigan forwards minus hoffman who he seemed to be awesome with he would have been a lot more potent against us on friday, but he was thrust in the deep aend and though whatever reason was found wanting in much of his play.

as far as i am aware finch didnt play in any of the u20's matches but correct me if i am wrong. the point i was trying to make was that if maguire was ready to play finch in an undoubtedly massive game, he would have no hesitation in putting pat in if he was as fit as finch before friday'"


The thing you're missing here is that Finch played because we have no spare FB and no spare halves that would have been capable against Wire with Deacon injured again. Pat's position has competition to overcome Finch's didnt really.

I think Paul newlove had same injury and was never the same again. It's a very serious injury so wouldn't expect him to ever get back to 100% but a 80% Richards is still pretty good.

We can't afford to take any risks with Pat. If he was only fully fit and match ready for the play-offs that would do for me. Prior to his injury he was the best winger in the comp by a country mile and I'm sure Madge will be cautious with him.

Madge knows Finch better than anyone, and he had a solid game, coming back from injury and first game in 7 months - even if he only does Deacon's role of being a good kicker and a fast pair of hands in the middle of the park for a couple of seasons. We sorely missed Deacs on Friday IMHO.

In Madge we trust.

If fit Pat would walk into the side. Not because Charnley is a bad player but simply Pat is a lot better and has proved it. Charnley also needs careful handling because we don't want the confidence knocking out of him.

So for me it's all about fitness. If Pat is fit, he'd get in the side as soon as his fitness allowed. The idea he might have to prove himself in the U20's to be worthy to replace Charnley is a none starter. Whether he should play a couple of games in the U20's to test his fitness is a different matter.

This is not the same as Noble picking his experienced players come what may and dropping young players like red hot coals because he would do that even if the experienced players were playing poorly or didn't merit inclusion. That does not apply to Pat IMO.

Exactly he needs to play in the u20s first not to prove hes good (hes the best in the league and I know that) but he has to prove his fitness thats all. If its a SL game we cant have him breaking down halfway through coz we may not have replacement.

I really hope we aren't rushing him back like seemed to happen with Roberts. What he doesn't need is a recurrence, I'd much rather him start back with 40 mins in the reserves just to see how competitive rugby feels.

My brother in law saw him at the weekend on the treadmill at total fitness. Said he was going a fair old clip and looked pretty comfortable.

It's a world between that and getting tackled, stepping etc though, especially when you return the ball as hard as Pat does.

Its the agility that seems to be lost from an achiles injury not just being able to run. Though in Pats favour imo agility isnt his game, its his long stride that gives him his pace, and size that makes him a threat

Couldn't agree more. Just stating that that was what he was doing, and took it was a good sign that he is progressing. I don't know the exact stage he is up to with his rehab. If he is only 2-3 weeks away (rumour) then I'd imagine that he is doing more than just treadmill running?
