I still say that if he is on the ball the best import for next season is Albert Kelly.

Seem to be amassing forwards. With the emphasis on mass.

Decent signing, but would have liked a hooker or centre. Maybe another coming in eh?

What's the situation with Matt Groat, is he still coming from West Tigers? Noticed he's the only player on the club website without a profile. Already got a profile for Patterson and he only signed a couple of hours ago.

Have a feeling that the likes of Dobbo, Chase, and Locke could score plenty if they play off his elbow. Strong with a great pair of hands. If we get the Cory who's head is in the right place (As it doesn't seem to have been in Hull) he'll do very well. Formidable second row and loose for next season, with depth too.

Asked Marwan on twitter about this. He said he's not coming over anymore [urlhttps://twitter.com/drmarwanK/status/537000712186908672[/url

Pretty much every one that has had a decent hooker

Corvo, Alker, Makin.
Bradbury, Nicol.
Wainwright.

The best thing about the Paterson signing is the number of times Barker is likely to spell his name wrong throughout the season.

He actually contacted Rovers weeks ago asking them if they wanted him back but the declined the offer NO WAY was the answer

According to the Doc there is still room on the cap for more signings but only if Harris wants them.Makes me believe that Harris is more than happy with his options at hooker this coming season.Still think Hood could do a Greg Johnson and surprise a lot of people so with Fages/Lee as back up hookers i dont think the situation is as bad as many believe.Time will tell i guess but i have a lot of faith in our coaching staff now to make the right moves as they see it.They have had a lot of time and money available to rectify any issue they may have seen at hooker and have chosen to stick with what they already have.

Yeah course he did.

Lucky for us then. Good bit of business, one-year deal with the option of a second year if he impresses. I am sure he is looking forward to living in Salford and linking up with his former team mates Michael Dobson and Junior Sa'u.

I didn't realise how big the bloke was, 6ft 5 and 16 stone - still only 27 too.

The guy can Tackle/Hit as well judging by the clips i just watched.I always remembered him as a great offloader with decent pace and step.

I remember him playing for Hull KR and imo then he was their best forward, put it this way I'd rather have him then that plank Ryan Bailey.

Think it was either

1,NO WAY..we are fully loaded with Aussies now and dont have a quota spot
2.NO WAY..we cant fit you in our cap
3.NO WAY..we cant afford you.

Lets see who bites first.

That's probably why he didn't' report that we were signing him.

Or could it be that he was doing the decent thing and honouring a gentlemans agreement that if he ever came back to SL then HKR would have first refusal..Who knows.

Didnt take long on twitter.

@mart_vickers Like we said here on Twitter at 7pm Cory Patterson! - need to speak early doors tomorrow if that's okay chief

It was doing the rounds on twitter before he come out with it.

Didn't take long for Barker to get his name wrong, he's rugby league's Officer Crabtree
