Not the right time to criticise (if there ever IS a right time), but LP never goes for the outside when he's on the wing, and never draws the man or uses his winger when he's in the centre. Worrincey was wasted last night. LP always tries hard tho, and a fantastic kicking performance, but it'll be nice to see Goddard add quality centre play to the team

I think there is enough runnng into touch without pats obliging.

Patterson is outstanding - he does everything right, and his defence is superb. he does two men's jobs out wide and knows when to come in. Id prefer to see him on the wing, but the current situation requires him to play in his original position. And a fine job he's doing too.

I noticed he didn't have to do much driving the ball up due to the amount of possession we had during the match - so no need to help take pressure off the forwards.

I think he should be given the chance as first choice kicker and see if he can keep consistency in more pressurised matches.

Harsh appraisal I.M.O.

Lets hope Pattersons kicking stands up when the pressure's really on, he kicked very well on Thursday but it wouldn't have mattered if he'd of missed 4 or 5 kicks. Just hope everyone doesn't expect him to kick at 100% every week now!

The negativity on here is astonishing sometimes

Hope that isn't aimed at me.

What I can't figure out is why LP didn't step up before now? I am sure we've struggled on with Ben Black and James Haley before in matches when Gov's been off the field and, while Patty has been on the field all along

Haven't we

im sure MC knew of his kicking ability, just think he prefers to stick with one kicker where needed & im sure Gov will resume the kicking duties when back in the team, followed by Lee.

When did James become a bad kicker? I'm no Statto but he's a damn sight better than you're giving him credit for. Perhaps his dodgy knees are the reason he doesn't kick much anymore.

Chill out fella. James is okay but, as we saw, Patty is awsome!
