Mainly a bench player at Hudds coming on for impact which he has demonstrated against Wigan.
Not used to his full strengths whilst at the DW, and didn't show the potential.
With the way he was expected to play this won't be a big miss come 2016.

Thought he wasn't going to them or staying with us.

Agree thought ironically his best game was against Catalan 2 seeks ago but too little too late.

Can't argue with you Josie but the lad needed first team rugby and he was not guaranteed that at Wigan.

Why, after his season at the Giants, should he become a dual registered player again for Wigan when he can join a side in full throw of being rebuilt and one where has more chances for a regular place?

Yes I understand that BM, & wish him all the best, but how come LP got so much game time when Jack was sent on dual reg & couldn't even get a game from the bench?

It's crazy, I think we had the worse part of the deal tho :(

I would say it is because Patrick has been utilised more as a complete running forward and more like a prop. He has therefore been able to offer something which Hughes hasn't.

I would also suggest a lot of his appearances have been down to injuries/reshuffling rather than his performances.

Me too Josie. I thought so at the time. Can see this one coming back to bite us big time!
