Maybe will is being rested for the fax game 

If we can keep him for next year maybe it’s getting some money out of patten 🤣 

if we can’t keep him for next year maybe it’s letting patten play to win himself another year

@scouseviking55 Patton played well at Fev overall but made two sadly typical careless mistakes: one, a kick charged down nearly cost us a try, the other, a failure to reach touch with a penalty near the end of the game did cost us a try. I'm a bit surprised Will Roberts isn't being brought back, to remind Dec he can't take his place for granted.

I would be shocked if Patton retained - his supposedly great kicking game never materialised and his ball handling is sporadic - joey a better option as back up to roberts 

Widnes by 50. 😂

I’m hoping we put a big score on them today to help the points difference 

A strange first half today, we are in the lead but the bottom club are making a game of it. They certainly try to be inventive but just aren't good enough.

Good atmosphere too, mainly as a result of Hunslet fans supporting their side. Come on Widnes!!

We are much the better team and really should post a cricket score, if only we would move the ball through the hands and not rely on drives through the middle.

Game was so slow !! Ref only seemed to know a few decisions so no forward passes or holding down today given 😂 we scored 40 without playing at all well hope we saving it for next week 

It felt like a game that our players just wanted to get through without injury and obviously to focus on the next 2 games that will be much more challenging 

oldham only just beat dons 

Fax and fev both won convincingly 

next weeks going to be a tough game and we need all players to be on top of their games 

Thought we were head and shoulders above them, they just needed wearing down. Our first four tries were followed by losing the ball in first two tackles, that contributed to such a low score for us. needs tidying up!!! Lawton's contribution was enormous as was Pattens who's kicking game was superb. Glad the Argentinians and Peruvians enjoyed the moment in the spotlight and their "NEW" tops

Sorry did not see pattens contribution as anything more than average - joey is a better option as you will see in the fullness of time

need to play better than that next week to overcome the fax - surprisingly our best winning run for 4 years !

@7-vikingnomad not saying patten is up to much but Joey has had plenty of opportunities here and is not a kid anymore. He won’t make it to be a top 3/4 championship player ever

Scouse, I have my opinions you have yours - let’s see who is retained this season and who is going to Rochdale eh ?

Exactly I’m just giving my opinion to counter yours.

just because one is retained who is happy to be a 3rd choice doesn’t mean they’re better. I’d want the club to be looking at better alternatives to both patten and Lyons
