Cory Paterson

[BigErn]

With the knights telling him he's unwanted for next season, I reckon we should make a genuine play at him.
Good runner of the ball and has pretty good hands for a big guy. Playing much better than Lasalo/Horo ATM.

 

[Eels Dude]

Depends how cheap he comes. Apparently he's on 300k at the Knights right now. He's not a bad player but quite inconsistent.

Agreed. Also, he's not worth 300 k's.

Suity

if they don't want him, why should we ?

they dont want him for a reason

we should be looking at players that will make a difference not just picking up players because they are cheap and wont add much to our squad

 

[Gronk]

yeah it's a good tip that if Benny doesn't want him ...

Same can be said for Ben Roberts twiz. Bulldogs dont think he is worthy of first grade at the moment.

Different coaches have different ideas and needs! Bennett wont be short of hard running forwards next year.

 

[Bazal]

No thanks. Showed a lot of promise, but injury and attitude have cruelled him. Very lazy, very inconsistent. If he was on minimum wage I'd consider it, but seeing as he's still under contract I doubt the Knights will offload him if they have to keep paying that much of his deal.

 

[Stagger eel]

a definite proceed with caution sign on his price tag..

there's a reason why uncle Benny doesn't want him.

 

[caylo]

The guy is massive, strong and fast and a genuine wide running backrower plus he can find the try line and hit hard. I would defiantly look at him but not anything close to 300K, 150K and I would swoop on him no problems tbh.

If we could secure Esi and someone like a Patterson then our team honestly a contender. We would have class all over the park plus good depth.

I imagine for benny its the price tag more then the player. Benny is a big fan of conservative and unflashy players who don't command the big $$

 

[Craig Johnston]

i'd be happy if we got him on a joe galuvao type part payment arrangement.

he's still got a lot to prove, the knights just need the capspace

different scenario imo

we were desperate for halves but I dont see Paterson being an improvement on what we already have

centres and winges first must be our options before backrowers.
We have Reni to slot back in and potentialy POH for next year.
Lassaloo/Rodgers should be better for the run of this year too...

Has Rogers run this year yet?

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Has Rogers run this year yet?

Yes, from the sheds to the bench and from the bench to the sideline.

 

[yy_cheng]

Yes, from the sheds to the bench and from the bench to the sideline.

what about when he runs into the dressing room before halftime to cut the oranges>

 

[Runaround Man]

Regardless of price, a player should only be signed if you want that player.
Buy quality, no exceptions - like when you go to the fruit shop, you wouldn't buy a rotten apple regardless of the price.

 

[Pricey73]

From what I have heard there is a better than 80% Cory Paterson will be at the eels for 2012

 

[Stagger eel]

well we are looking at filling a backrow position..

 

[Twizzle]

the question you must ask yourself grasshopper

will he improve our squad ?

personally, I dont believe so

we've got Poore to come back, Shack to back row and possibly POH to move up soon
