Wayne Bennett seemed to think he was alright too...?

Is Kev a goalkicker by any chance ?
If not ,i suggest Patton needs to play anyway for his goalkicking since Mr Gidley is not our best kicker.

I think Patton's future is secure with Gidley and Brown next season and the big IF Williams signs I hope RD is right he's usually not far off then he has Brown and Williams, three to rotate, if Williams doesn't sign at least Brown will be in place and we go from there, I agree with the posts he offers plenty of options from inside the twenty.

I feel Keeping Patton is a must letting one of our own talents and very good goal kicker go at such a young age would be a big mistake.

Not sure why it's an either/or with Brown/Patton. Brown is effectively replacing Sandow (assuming he comes) so how is Patton in a worse position?

You can add another £30k to that.

Patton will be playing for Wire next season, Williams is not leaving Wigan.

source?

Patton will be fine all part of rotation, I feel though he would work better with Gidley or Brown rather than a Gidley/Brown combination, but hey what do I know we shall see just an opinion.

Strange one my Widnes mate who told me about Brown claims it's twelve months and 100k! Asked him to confirm he says he will give me a call tomorrow, I'm only repeating what I've been told.

you should have laughed at him and sent him on his way.

100k transfer fee for a 1 year contract?

Desperate times, desperate measures?

I know it's pretty late to the game but pretty sure it's all done and he will be announced later this week.

Not sure where people have got the one year deal from? It's two years with the option of a third year.

I did ask him who's pulling who's, firstly when he was told there was no mention of contract length until yesterdays no it's only one year plus the fee would be an eye opener, he says he has no reason to doubt what he's been told but we shall see, I'm only the Spanish waiter I know nothing.

With very little if anything from the Widnes point of view on the forum I've just added my mates info, as mailman says it will be announced soon, I must admit Lord Tony Smith's option seems the more plausible.

According to someone on Leigh board (not sure how he's know) Wire have paid Williams mortgage off to get round cap! Not sure how true it could possibly be like

how much is a house in Wigan... 20 grand? 30 grand?

Hardly bonus payment of the year.... we have probably given his mum a job in the club shop or something.

It must be one of those convoluted transfer deals to get around salary cap complications, where we sign Brown, then immediately swap him to Wigan for Williams......

For pure comedy value I wish that was true...the meltdown on the Wigan forum...

They could even do a special "Kevin Brown" homecoming announcement, just like they did with Sam T.

all you have to do is mention his name on here and Wigan fans are all over the forum foaming at the mouth and waving £50 notes around.



its very entertaining watching ducky play with them all on the end of his rod.

Wanted Williams, got Brown instead.

Its like going to the butchers for steak and coming back with Spam from the corner shop thats reduced because its out of date.

Awful, just awful, what happened to the days of good saints fan trolls like the chairmaker.

You'd fit in well on Redvee laa with bronco and his mates.

Is it 2018 yet??

I guess you have to come on here n talk about our potential signings as your own re too terrible to speak of

Don't think ppl who support teams whose bi signing is Smith lmao

Now that wouldn't be too difficult for the auditors to spot would it? Maybe you are using the same accountancy practices employed by Melbourne Storm and Salford? Somehow I doubt it, Simon Moran never struck me as particularly stupid, unlike some of the posters on here. Williams is only going in one direction from Wigan - to the NRL.

By the way leave off Matty Smith, he's managed to win more Grand Finals than your entire club -
