Warrington Wolves • Dec patton
I have a natural antipathy to slagging developing players off. I know in my own job I have made some absolute howlers when younger, and it takes time and patience to develop the skills required. The difference is our players make their mistakes in front of lots of people, there is a huge weight of expectation on some more than others, and it must weigh heavily.
Compare and contrast Patton and Philbin.
When starting a prop gets a few minutes here and there, nothing much is required other than don’t drop the ball and don’t miss a tackle. They can be nurtured and allowed to develop.
I’m not for one minute saying Patton is a world beater but a little compassion from the fans of the team he plays for wouldn’t go amiss.
