Signings such as Patten are neccessary if we are to have any chance of keeping players such as Broughton at the club long term. I can see the clubs strategy of gaining momentum in the last year at the Willows and hoping that the new stadium effect can get the club moving forward on and off the pitch.
Quote ="middleman" If we were looking for an old NRL fullback I'd prefer Rhys Wesser from Souths .'"
Wesser is out of contract and yet to sign an extension at Souths so he could have been a potential target. I like watching Wesser as hes a very talented and dynamic full back. Patten is stronger defensively and a solid full back and will be a very good signing.
Sydney Morning Herald states we are also in for Pattens team mate Ryan Tandy. I would be surprised if that happens after years of playing lower league rugby at Whitehaven, Doncaster & Barrow he has worked hard to get to first grade in his homeland.
