World class this season.

Far far to good for Salford!!

Some of his performances this year have been nothing short of world class!!

Probably the best full back I've seen in a Salford shirt!!

1 more year!!

Totally agree with above views best attacking fullback i have seen, on a par with Paul Charlton in that department.

Charlton was the better fullback with his defence, not many got past him, any breakaway he could shepherd to the touchline

But Patten is class, again'st the Catalans he even made a one on one tackle

Sorry guys, but you are all deluded!

He's shown up OK in the recent, 'Basketball Score' games. However, he was and still is the WORST defensive full back I have ever seen at Salford.

And before anyone gets back with 'how the game's changed'. Watch Sam Tomkin's defence and see how it is possible to defend and yet be an outstanding attacking player.

Patten is a LIABILITY, thanks very much to him for all his efforts and spectacular attacks, BUT he remains a one trick pony and one Salford cannot afford.

But the game has changed.

It would be nice to have the full package but highlighting Tompkins isn't fair either. Tompkins is one of the best players ever to grace RL, not just a great Fullback. I'd rather have an outstanding attacking Fullback than a defensive one. One on one tackles are no win situations. If you miss them you're the villain. What fans should be highlighting is the defensive errors that cause one on ones instead of blaming Fullbacks. Give me Pattens attacking brain and skill any day over a solid defender.

At the end of the day it's about scoring more than the opposition that gets you two points. Without Patten this year we would have far less points to show for it.

The 'Blakeley the king' song should be adapted for Patten for the rest of the season.
