Amazing how him and Herbert were warming up together before the wire game, and TBH neither of them looked like they could be bothered !!!

I said this on the Widnes board, he could come back and bite us on our backsides next year. After half the season, most fans said he deserved a new contract, then he got played out of position and it all fell apart. We shall see whther this is a mistake, or a good move.

We will see who is stupid when we meet in super league next year

He'll do okay on the wing for you. Don't play him in the centres and dont expect a superstar then you should be happy enough with the signing.

He can go now for me.. I still can't believe some on here thought he should get another year to be quite honest.

Very inconsistent and he seems to struggle to maintain concentration. Can catch a ball that you would expect most players to drop, but then will simply drop the ball from a straight forward pass. Same with his kicking, will knock one over from the touchline and then hit the post 5 m from the right of the sticks. Too many errors, too many miss tackles this year.

I've more chance of joining the Chippendales than Ah Van making next years dream team.

How many quota players are Widnes allowed? Is it the same as everybody else or like Crusaders with many more allowed?

As far as I know we are allowed the same as everyone else.

Jury's out on Ah Van for me. From what I've seen he has the ingredients to be decent but I also have to take notice ofwhat you fellas say on here - could he be a scapegoat for your indifferent form? after all, every team has one or two when things aren't going well.

Fook me, we have half a dozen scapegoats this season and we're unbeaten in the last 9

Definately not a scapegoat, the whole team has been absolute gash but Ah Van by far has been the worst, and his laziness and lack of concentration is second to none !!!

So you're a big fan then!!!

How many times has Ah Van kicked out on the full this year?

I've lost count. not sad to see him go with Purtell coming in.

Most players raise their games against old teams whether they leave on good terms or not though. I think this is the right decision, not quick enough for wing, not able to adapt for centre

I say it every time it happens, kicking out on the full is unforgivable

Well Raynor will be up against him next year



I think I know who will win

We gave him a year, he had protential, he did a job with kicking and some good tries. Nice bloke from what I've heard but he needs to move on.

Got to love this quote from Denis Betts, Patrick has obviously been keeping his powder dry this season

“Another of his qualities is his burning ambition to succeed in the game, a desire which mirrors that of our own, here at the Vikings.”

I saw a few games on sky and he looked half decent, and 11 tries in 24 games is not too bad.Hopefully with some coaching and a decent centre, he can improve on his tackling. Hopefully been given a 2 yr contract, he will show more effort. I am hoping, but i suppose some players are crap at one team, and are better at another team.Anyway time will tell i suppose and is still young enough to improve.

Six times RTB.

Tbf, he's had to kick off a lot.

Let's sum Patrick up: A bone idle waste of a playing shirt. Forget the "laid back islander" crap, on and off the field he has all the energy of Stephen Hawking at last orders.

A woeful, woeful player who never made use of his size, spasmodic abilities or any god given talent.

Absolute joker. I'd cycle him personally to Widnes on a tandem the lazy tart. I'd doubt if has the energy to even key the postcode on his satnav.

So, you don't really rate him then???!!

Still think he may come back to bite us in the bum next season

just like that bloke who couldnt pronounce his F's or TH's


he couldnt say " cant say fairer than that" either
