Confirmed on a 3 year deal. Very pleased with this signing.

me too.

First of a lot of good news hopefully !!! Terrific signing and already another leader in the pack!

He will go missing after about 5 games and I will put my house on him not seeing out his 3 year deal. In fact I'd be surprised if he sees out the season. Bad attitude. He will always be first to put his hand up to take the play the ball on a turnover, that's his style.

Great signing in my opinion....more hilarity due next season.

Hello Spegs....

Evening! Apologies, after tonight's drama in SL I cannot find anything negative to say about anything to do with RL. I even love Leigh....

Welcome Spegs. Great to have you with us.

Patterson is s good player problem is he's a bit flakey signed a 3yr deal with us went home after a year with homesickness signed for an Aussie club quits rugby altogether to become a pro boxer quits that and signs for Salford (over his homesickness apparently) on a 2yr deal lasts a year and signs for you the chances of him seeing out his contract are slim to say the least

Well he's honored his departure from Salford. With most SL fans early doors stating the signing would only happen if we were promoted..

It's a good signing to say your in the championship he's skilful but lazy

Only really seen him play twice this season..The CC against Salford for me he stood out and took control of the team,yes launched Mcnally's head in the first 6 seconds,but showed true character and experience in that game.

Some people changing their tune from the Challenge Cup game earlier in the season, when Cory was nothing but a thug who would be playing in the Championship next season. Well you all got one thing right, he will be in the Championship next season but with Leigh!





In all seriousness, I have known about this deal since around July which is the time when Cory and his family has major visa issues. Koukash wouldn't give him the financial help he needed but Derek Beaumont did. He agreed to sign for Leigh from that point on. His agent advised him to stay with Salford, as he knew Tim Sheens was coming on board but a three-year-contract was too good for him to turn down at his age.



He is a very good player, who has been one of our better performers at times this season. An earlier comment about him going missing at times is fair, but he can also highly influence games too. I think his record this season is 21 apps and 10 tries, not a bad return from a forward. I expect him to steam roll the Championship next season.



Next signing to be announced, Reni Maitua.

At his age? He's only 28.

Strange signing, you would think he must be on a decent contract but there has to be some young talent out there who are going to give 100% week in week out and could add at least the same value to Leigh's squad.

Don't talk daft young talent has good has Cory get real he's experiencd at NRL and SL level he's a big fella with a Brilliant RL brain if there's any young talent anywhere near Cory level there playing for a top SL side

I think he's talking about Grix.

Brilliant

There is a better chance that we will get him on the pitch, than your recent ex-SL signing GFB. I read a recent interview with Tony Smith, where he suggested that Grix may well not play again. Obviously I hope he is proven wrong, but my point is that if Paterson is a strange signing,....................!

Good signing i would have had him at Widnes.
