How do we all think Patto is going this year?

Honestly? Hardly noticed him. Is that a good or bad thing?

I think Patto's been good.

He only gets about 55% game time so 2 quarters of football to prove him each week.



I reckon he hits more taps to advantage than Simmonds and does a good job around the ground.

Coming along nicely and doing very well for a second ruckman.  :thumbsup

I think he's going ok.  Probably playing just about as well as he did last year but as TA inferred he only gets 1/3 of the game time so it appears as though he's contributing less.

He has been helped by Simmonds coming back. I think his leap has also increased a little.

I think in the second half of this season it's time for Patto to stand up and say to Simmo, "you've been good Simmo, but i'll take over the number one ruck spot now".

Patto has done an interview on the RFC site.

He says his benchmarks are 10 hitouts, 6 marks, 3 tackles per game.
