Patton

[lachie_001]

Is Patton a handy forward emergency, an expensive rookie though I have no intent to upgrade him or downgrade. Simply he will play out the rest of the season (fingers crossed) so if any premiums get injured he will slot in as a replacement.

Too expensive for my liking. Becomes almost a sideways rather than a downgrade, and no guarantees that he's get near a ton.

[its me lads]

As spinking said he might not get near the ton, rookie big men are usually erratic in thier DT scoring, unless he gets injured he will play the rest of the season, too expensive for me.

[fertalong]

Agreed. I think his output will be similar to what Jeremy Cameron is getting now (maybe a little better, but not much). Not really worth the price tag.

I have him, should play every game bar a one or two from here. Not setting the world on fire. Dont see him as must have except for JS maybe.

[lachie_001]

Yeah true, who would be a permanent rookie forward at this stage?

[Windigo]

Had great JS. But a little more expensive, but worth it if money is no issue.

good question. you would have to say Zorko but apart from that i cant see Delollio, Crozier or O'Hanlon staying around for too long. As for Hall he is long gone.

Zorko , Treloar , Adams are keepers but if you dont have em youve missed the boat. Not alot around at the minute with good JS. Not to much on the horizon either.

[Tominator]

if he was $104K I'd get him without hesitation, but at $179K he is too expensive for me. I won't be doing it.

If you don't need any more upgrades(satisfied with team, no weak links) then it shouldn't be a problem getting him, just less cash then you normally would but you get permanent bench cover, not the greatest, but 40-50 points and some big potential is still more than handy. Not going to be worth it for most, but nothing wrong with having him, really. Probably better than getting Crozier, then having him not playing stuck at the same price as Patton, which is even worse.
