He had so much potential but now where is he? Seriously, does anyone know?
Haha good question, where the hell is Corey Patterson now?

Rothfield at it again.
What's the Buzz: NSW State of Origin fullback Josh Dugan's two benders in 24 hours
NSW fullback Josh Dugan was involved in a drunken incident with police on the night before he was out with Blake Ferguson at a Cronulla nightclub last weekend.

It can be revealed that 24 hours earlier, police were called to a home on Karimbla Rd, Miranda, following complaints by neighbours.
Officers turned up to find an allegedly intoxicated Dugan and a male acquaintance sitting in a boat on the side of the road, drinking and pretending to be fishing.
True story.
They were searched before being ordered inside. Dugan has been living in the house since leaving Canberra and signing with St George Illawarra.
Neighbours phoned police to complain about alleged noise and feared the boat had been stolen when it was moved from the front yard of the house to the side of the road.
Having a beer at home is obviously not a major crime on the scale of atrocities in rugby league these days.
The concern is that Dugan was undergoing treatment for an ankle injury and behaving like an absolute gibberer at the time.
Most clubs now have strict no-alcohol policies in place for anyone on the injured list.
The fact he backed up the following night with Ferguson at Northies and then the 2320 restaurant bar questions how professionally he is caring for his injuries - even when he's on the verge of playing in the biggest State of Origin game in a decade as Jarryd Hayne's replacement.
The NRL and its chief executive Dave Smith's talk of zero tolerance is a case of too little too late.
When Dugan was sacked from the Canberra Raiders for repeated alcohol-related infringements, the NRL allowed the Dragons to sign the troubled fullback a few weeks later.
For starters, this was grossly unfair on the Raiders.
A more appropriate response may have been to send Dugan to the bush for a year like Todd Carney, who continues to show the benefits of his new maturity.
St George Illawarra's commitment to Dugan's overall rehabilitation needs to be questioned, too.
It's wonderful that he's scoring tries, but surely they need to be more conscious of his off-field activities and behaviour.
A player's welfare should be far more important than two competition points.
Ooooooooo....the shameless crimes of Dugan :sarcasm:
What crime was committed here?
Rothfield you alcoholic twat...worry about your own backyard...
I am thankful we can no longer view his shit on line. He just makes stuff up....second rate hack journalist
No crime at all but don't you as a dragon supporter worry about him going on two benders while on injury rehab because he never treated injury rehab with respect at Canberra and he would also constantly get injured.
No. I'm not his mum, neither are you or the drunk from the DT.
If the Dragons have issues with it, I'll let them deal with it accordingly.
Dugan didn't get punished the way Carney did and so Dugan hasn't been scared into appreciating what he has. He has no respect. Carney had to work his way back in after a year in the bush. It would have benefited Dugan to do the same.
Exactly BM
Until he properly feels the wrath for his unprofessional actions, he will get in trouble again.
Can't wait for it to happen.
Edit: was just on the footy show & said "it was always going to happen with Blake & my history. i am getting a thick skin"
Dickhead. He doesn't need to get a thick skin , he needs to get rid of the thick head.
one can only hope and wonder what your bromance with this gen y tool is ? are you his daddy?What a tidy bit of work
Getting shit faced in a boat on the side of the road, pretending to fish! :lol:
hope he catches himself a series winning try against QLD on wednesday night.
FMD you are a complete tool...
Most crimes and sexual assault are commited by people they don't know.
