No backs on the bench

Surely he has been injured all season? He is only picked for his kicking ability, because the rest of his game is shot.

Have you been drinking thinners?


You obviously need a greater understanding of rugby league, because, I feel you are mistaken.

No backs on the bench - big mistake. At the very least we need a forward that can double up as a centre if required so we can shuffle the remaining backs around to cover an injured player.

Pat could bearly run after 15 minutes and had to be aggravating any injury that he had picked up.

Shaun Wane made a "jesting" comment last season, I think at Leeds when a winger was strugggling with an injury, Hemmings asked why he had been left on the pitch and Wane said, "He's a winger, you don't substitute wingers".
Maybe he wan't joking?

I remember it, but at that point in the game if he'd taken off a back, he'd have had to bring on Feka!

Pat was doing ok until he collided with Sam halfway through the first half, it happened just in front of us and they didn't half slam into one another and he was groggy for the rest of the first half as a result. Think that was partly why he slipped in trying to defend just before a Wire try and probably the most significant turning point in the match for me regardless of bad discipline and other events
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Troll!
No "troll". Just a paying punter watching a great player who IMO appears to not be running at his full potential and i think that is due to his fitness.

Never asked you to agree with me, because I surely don't always agree with everything you post, but I've never been that sad to start name calling.

Pat has always been deceptive pace-wise, but he definitely looks to be struggling this year so far, and on Friday looked like he was dragging a wardrobe. He can't be fit, and surely needs a rest
