I'd disagree with that. Because of his height and stride length he doesn't actually look like he's pacy plus given his other attributes mentioned he doesn't need to use his pace - why run round someone when you can go straight over them



Granted there are quicker wingers out there, Riley, Fox and Amos are three that come to mind, but Pat is a lot quicker than he is given credit for.

Had it been on Sunday I'd have definitely been there. But according to Bilko's site it's tomorrow at 12pm. Unfortunately that's the only time of the day that I'm busy, had it been 2pm I'd have been there in a flash.



Damn shame because I had every intention of going.

I think it's back to that argument about the difference between speed and acceleration. He isn't the quickest over the first 10m but I'd say he's comparable to other SL wingers over a longer distance.

Will probably make the 2nd half tomorrow. The lad's got a football match first thing so won't make 12 o'clock.

Well after that first half against Leeds... the sooner he's back the f*cking better





Right hand side defense is a big issue... St George, Warrington and Leeds have all walked in because of the poor defense. Roberts is struggling.

In my opinion, when Pat is back in the first team, he should go to FB and let Sam go to 6.

For two reasons.

1. Sam seems to be becoming too predictable at FB with just a running game and less of a passing/kicking input.

2. Pat, while he might not be the greatest attacking fullback, he is the best in the league at dealing with kicks and is big enough and has the positional awareness to defend at fullback as well as returning the ball like a forward.

I feel the last two games have shown that we are lacking a bit in defence at the back and Pat can provide that. I personally feel that a fully confident Amos is a better fullback than Pat but at the moment he isnt showing that fully.

After a few games the two (Pat and Amos) should swap to a more suitable role for each. but only when both are back up to speed (and confidence). As much as I think Sam suited FB last season, he seems to be missing his unpredictable element this season because he almost seems easier to target by other teams while playing at fullback. After tonights game, Me and other fans watching agreed that Richards to fullback would be a good move in the short term.
