Paterson seems to be a pretty forceful & direct player but didn't he leave Hull KR in the lurch a couple of years ago & go home mid season. Besides get him in the team alongside Sims & Westwood & the club would need a bigger sin bin.

He did, however pretty much most overseas players seem to leave kr reasonably quickly, aside from newton and galea, i think.

Couple of completely unbiased comments 're marquee signing and Sandow. I have always thought that Aussies in particular need at least a full season before you see the best of them, doesn't always apply of course but for anybody to judge him on 4 games is ridiculous. From what I've seen of him I can see there is some real class there it's whether he can be consistent. Certainly looks to have a good kicking game as well, and can see a few 40-20 for you guys next year. As for the MP, is that not essentially an accounting thing? You could have 2/3 players on the same money it's just one will be accounted differently. No player should be given that "title" for his sake and the sake o f team solidarity. I may be wrong but that's s how I see it.

Erm.. Why do you have to wait a year for them to play well? Do you think a young English player would get the same consideration?



They should start well, play well and finish well.

I'm not saying you should have to wait a year or that it applies to them all, there are many who hit the ground running. I'm just saying that over the years I have had the impression that a lot of the Aussies seem to take a while before you see the BEST of them. I just think to judge Sandow now is a bit early. He may turn out to be a dud, but give him time before judging. I'm sure he will be better next season, and the games he has now will be beneficial in him settling. I'm not saying I'm right,it's just my observation and opinion.
