Maybe being a senior pro is what Patton needs to get him to knuckle down? If it does come off we are making some, if not earth shattering signings, some solid signings.

I too have reservations with Fleming. Some games he doesn't turn up then I though he had a good dig against Batley and stood out.

Patton 1 year deal

Hamlett was a level above Burton but suffered from being in the side that was hammered twice by Fev. These lads need to go to League 1 and play regularly. Good luck to them.

The reserves are restarting next year also - another option for game time

Pleasantly surprised with that.

3 decent halfbacks for this level and gives us more cover at 9 too.

I think the competition will help both him and Lilley. Can’t expect Brough to stay fit for the season at his age either.

Re: New Signings : Thu Sep 30, 2021 7:06 pm  

Patton at his best is a level above Keyes. Not sure what happened at Salford but if he gets fit he's first choice. I think Lilley's better suited to spell at 9.

Anyway, solid early business. Lots more of the same required.

Good antidote to the overwhelming sense of meh that came from our season fizzing out so poorly. As said above we'll need a bit more cheery news to undo that poor end to the year in people's minds and get some season tickets shifted.

I disagree.

Re: New Signings : Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:51 am  

Patton has been a regular SL player for 6 yrs, Keyes signed for a SL club and whilst injuries hampered him he has had his contract cut short and signed for a cHampionship club (rumours I accept)

I’d have loved to sign Keyes but I’m equally happy with Patton, especially if he is hungry to resurrect his career

Re: New Signings : Fri Oct 01, 2021 9:24 am  

I think Patton gives us more options as well. He can play hooker and it wouldn't surprise me to see him playing as a ball playing 13. He's certainly physical enough for it.

He made a 100 appearances for Warrington, who have the ability to sign 3 half-backs with the quality of Austin, Widdop and Williams. May not have quite worked out at Salford but that doesn't mean he's a bad player.

I really think this could be a coup for us, if he comes with the right attitude.
