like said he is a quality signing. Hope he links up well with holdsworth! i hope we sign Tandy as well!

Tandy staying at the Bulldogs

Bugger, really?

dont think tandys is any good, id like to see you go for a better quality forward then him

Apparently so, been offered and accepted a 12 month contract extension.

Where have you seen this matey?

Was in Sydney morning herald. Deffo signed a 12 month extension.

Hmm I know Andrew Ryan has but I can't find anything about Ryan Tandy?

he's a spent force he's only come for his pension

Hang on the T-Shirts tell us "Salford, like Paris without the tower"

when in fact it's more like London without Westminster....

Wrong Ryan:

From the Sydney morning herald:

"Bulldogs Captain Andrew Ryan has confirmed he will see out the final year of his contract and will be stay for the 2011 season."

although this article makes it sound like Tandy isn't going anywhere:

"Now with his fifth NRL club, Tandy admits he is relieved to have his future secured and that he feels for the Melbourne players who are in limbo."

top signing for you men.

real talent and i cant wait to see him play myself

Great signing for Salford.

Cant wait to see The General next season. I'm so excited I just watched the film Patton. With a few more signings of this sought I think we will be competing for the playoffs next season. So here comes the pun;

With Patten we will roll through teams like Patton rolled through Sicily.

Sorry, that was awful, i promise to do better next time

just thought about that a little. I am not trying to imply that ALL the other Super League clubs are Nazi's.

See where you get your name from

Brilliant signing, always been a big fan of his... "follow the Patten"!
I know he's getting on a bit but look at Fitzgibbon at Hull, great proffesional and will leave the club having passed on so much valued experience that money can't buy, Luke will also be like that at yours.
Once again from a quite jelous Hull fan, great signing and can't wait to see him grace the K.C stadium.

Is this signing comparable with getting Gary Jack?

Good comparison Barton

In a word no. Gary Jack was the current golden boot winner (best player in the world) when he signed. Patten isn't quite that high profile, although its still a major major coup and one the club must be congratulated on.

Top signing. He will bring with him experience, intelligence and plenty of ability. Well done to the management.

No. Billy Slater is probably the Billy Slater of the day. However, Billy Slater is the cream of a rather unbelievable good crop of Aussie full backs so the comparison isn't quite the same. (Some pundits have Slater down as the greatest full back of all time.) (Slater, Hayne, Dugan, Coote and Patten have all been very good if not fantastic this year. All certainly better than anyone over here!)

Nevertheless, Patten is probably as good as Jack ever was.

Yes, but is he as good as Gibbo was?

That's the yardstick we should be useing

Que?!






Absolutely! Patten is easily as good as Damian Gibson ever was!?!

Oops. Try 'best full back in the present era.' I'm sure you knew what I meant.
