• Mike (22) I asked you to,paint the whole picture because you made the statement not so long ago that O’Brien was better on one leg than Nathan was on two so I’ll take your biased opinion on Patterson and leave you with it....
  Dave Abrahams in Nathan Patterson hoping for increased prominence heading into the World Cup
• We need to remember this was a gamble signing. A reported £11m gamble, but nevertheless a gamble.

Isn't it long past time to accept the fact that "not too bad" is the very height of what he can do? That his apex is adequacy?
