Patterson

Must be a childhood spent playing AFL that lets you fly above the pack like that.

Mark of the week.


Another thing i've been noticing about Patto for years - he bangs conversions over from the sidelines like shelling peas - but 10 in from the sidelines and he is no sure bet at all. Not sure what the story with that is.

Perhaps he gets complacent. I noticed today what you meant about him using his power to just belt em in a straight line from the sideline. Great to watch.

 

[macavity]

he almost reminds me of Mal Meninga toe-poking them in....

I love chupa-chup
(he has a huge head)

 

[CycloneSteve]

Damn he was impressive tonight. A player of the future for sure.

Yeah, none of this curving them through the sticks business - he just lines em up and bangs em.

 

[chinorocks]

He is the best forward we've produced in along time IMO.

Here is an interesting question - who gets Patto for SOO.

It is supposed to go on where you played your first senior game - and i'm pretty sure that was WA when he was 16 or so. (as a fullback)

Maybe he should step up to the camera, fold his arms and declare the Knights his first senior club.

BTW, I thought this thread was going to be a laugh about McManus' 5" vertical leap! :lol:

Couple of weeks ago Mark Geyer picked a NSW team for 2012 in RLW, and he had Patto in it. Don't know if he based that on fact tho.

 

[fred_knight]

He played great, whats his contract status? Is he sgined with us 4 a while, hope so...really great performance and that try was excellent..what about his defence, put on sum massive hits last night 2...has sum speed as well

 

[Ben]

That mark was soomething special. He really has the makings of an all round footballer:

Can step through traffic
Can run over traffic
Has a great offload
Can certainly jump
Is big and mobile

and plus, he is a goal kicker.

 

[Risa]

Says on the Knights player profiles that he is only signed till the end of the year. They'd better be working on getting him a contract very soon!

 

[keeney]

He re-signed this year til 09 I think.

 

[Gene Krupa]

Yeah, I'm sure I read earlier this year that he'd re-signed til '09.

 

[Pumba]

Yep Re-Signed till the end of 2009 earlier this year.

Paterson Re-Signs

Thursday, March 15, 2007 - Newcastle Knights

The Newcastle Knights are proud to announce outstanding junior, Cory Paterson has agreed to terms with the club until at least the end of the 2009 season.

A former Australian Schoolboy and New South Wales Under 19 representative, Paterson has impressed Brian Smith and the Knights coaching staff throughout the pre-season and was a standout in the trial matches against the Panthers and the Sharks.

“Cory is one of the club’s brightest future prospects,” said Knights Operations Manager, Stephen Crowe.

“He was a member of last year’s Minor Premiership Jersey Flegg side and has continued his great form in our two trial matches and is on track to make his first grade debut.”

Perth-raised Paterson was first spotted as a fullback representing Western Australia at the Australian Schoolboy Championships and was awarded a Knights scholarship.

He relocated to Newcastle as a 15-year-old to play SG Ball in 2004 and has been earmarked from the outset by Brian Smith as a future NRL star.

Being a NSW schoolboy you'd have to say he'd be a future Blue as well

 

[Stranger]

That catch was up there with Gee kicking a 40/20 :lol:, was an awsome display.
