we don't use Patrick to his advantage he is one if not the fastest forward in SL we should play him outside not in the middle - take joal off or sarge and run him really wide and deep of faz and bateman - he would do some serious damage. he is not a prop that can mix it in the middle and we don't need him to be we have big ben, clubby, tow and lockers could be a great prop. we need to use Patrick for his speed and power and crush some of the outside backs.
I would like to see travis burns to tackle him all match then see how fancy he is! and that goes for any half in SL no one would like him running at them off a big man like faz or John
Hughes or Patrick?

Best I ever saw was Andy Goodway but different era
better than Hanley who I remember terrorising opposition at centre and lose forward?

I like the lads attitude, he gives 110, sadly the coach hasn't yet demonstrated that he is aware of Patrick's best strengths as a player.ddtftf wrote:Patrick as we have not seen the best of him yet, he is getting better with every game and has pace which is a bonus if he breaks away. He is also playing 60 minutes a game which is vital in the modern game and tackles his heart out in every match.

I agree - lets use him for what he is good at rather than trying to force him to do things he doesn't want toPanchitta Marra wrote:I like the lads attitude, he gives 110, sadly the coach hasn't yet demonstrated that he is aware of Patrick's best strengths as a player.ddtftf wrote:Patrick as we have not seen the best of him yet, he is getting better with every game and has pace which is a bonus if he breaks away.
