I fnid you can jsut aoubt tpye anhynitg and be udnersotod. But it's not very pleasing to the reader. In most cases it is down to medical condition, poor education or laziness.
I do not understand why one would argue the point to support incorrect grammar and spelling rather than learn the correct way.
It all started to deteriorate with Star Trek's "to boldly go" - split infinitive. "to go boldly".

Back to Patton, I'm glad he's signed but hope it's in his current role with an opportunity to stake a claim for HB rather than being promised it

That’s the way I’ve interpreted Price’s comments. I have a feeling that Price has a better way of dealing with these situations than Smith. Same result, but the player is left with aspirations not feeling rebuked. Just a different leadership style.

| I'm happy with the Patton signing. He has played well as interchange hooker, Price clearly rates him (and he is far more skilled, and in a better position , to judge than I am) and demand is far out stripping supply in the halfback market.

| Contracts don’t really mean a great deal. Sometimes a player will sign a new contract in good faith with the club even though both know the player will be moving on, but the club can ask for more of a transfer fee when selling him when he’s on a higher contract.
But it will be good if this isn’t one of those situations and Patton does stay, I’ve been impressed with him at hooker.

| He has been adding value over the last few months. No problen with this renewal.
Funnily enough, I don't really know if it is the change of position that has made a difference. If he could be as direct, quick, and as much of a handful while playig 6 or 7, he would be a very good 6 or 7. I just think it is good coaching and good motivation that has got him playing a more forceful game than we saw in 2017.

I’d like to see him have a run of games at 6 or 7 now before judging whether he has a future at half back. We have a pack that is going forward and we actually have an attacking structure in place now, and slowly we have gotten more used to it. Bit unfair to judge Pattons performances when the game plan and structure were - run the ball from dummy half then chuck the ball out wide, something will come up.

We've scored six tries in a game and I've now seen two posts suggesting it was because of the half-backs that we lost. Nope, it was because of crap defending.

Yes and a fair amount of that crap defending came from one of said half backs and not for the first time either.

| He's played 4 games in the halves this season.
We've lost 3 of them. We've only lost 6 games.all season.
3 losses from 4 games plus a red card and a 5 match ban. That's Patten's return from halfback.

.....and we've given him a two year contract, on the back of this!
Once upon a time, an elderly lady had a particulaly nasty fall outside Central Station. I sprinted into the middle of the road, into incoming traffic, picked her up, and escorted her to the side of the road. I just about managed to catch my train on time.
It's the Queen's Birthday Honours, next week. Where's my gong?

This 100%.
More than useful off the bench at interchange hooker and has done well in that role, but if he’s going to have a spell starting in the halves due to Brown’s injury, I do fear for us.

The most heroic thing about that story was that your train was on time, which is probably why the boss of Network Rail got a CBE.

I do think we have more options at full back and centre if Brown is to have time out. Ratch in the halves with M. Brown/Goodwin at FB or centre. Didn't think i would be as concerned as i am about the possibility of losing Kev for a bit.
