I agree with you and posted at the time that he was a loss.

Frustrating when he tries to do too much (like the famous kicking game) but a very classy player at this level.

There seem to be some very strange people on here if they seriously believed Patto for all his endeavour was a better option at LF for this year.

As I posted on TIW I dont think he is going to make or break your year for you.

Hasn't this loan been rumoured previously ?

He does seem to be made of the same type of biscuits as the 2003 Ryan McDonald.

I think BB had such a poor 2008 by his own very high standards that he needed to move on. He'd been carrying us along with Smithy and I think the pressure got to him, and I'm not convinced he was fully fit.

That said, I didn't think he was the stand-out player for Fax against us.

He didn't impress in the early part of the season but he has got better with every game.

Anybody who thinks Patterson is a better player than BB is seriously deluded.

He had a poor season last year but is a major loss from our squad without a shadow of a doubt.

Another poor descision in Ste Mc recruitment policy, along with Noone.

Forgive me - what does this mean? I've heard the expression before but have been too afraid to ask for fear of looking like a thicky. Now i don't care. What does it mean?

Hemmingway seems to be very injury prone.

Shoulder with him I think so the made of biscuits reference....he is easily broken.

Thanks -

I understand now. I thought it might have something to do with that. While i'm here - what does "pan face" mean? Andy Farrell used to get called it a lot. Any ideas?

A flat face like the back of a frying pan.

Does that not make me a proper rugby fan then?

We as rugby fans would also go to said clubs site to view competitor's signings as opposed to spamming everyone else's board.....
