Super League 2013

yeah good player, lost a bit of speed due to injuries etc but turned into a fantastic goalkicker and very reliable finisher. Pretty surprised he hasn't seen out his career over here though.
I remember watching that NRL Grand Final in 2005 on the box, was a great game capped by an awesome try.

Doesn't strike me as Wigan's best overseas player but then again i struggle to name many i would put above him (not that i am a great Wigan historian). I suppose he is comparable to Botica in recent memory?

In terms of his contribution, I think he's the best.  A consummate professional, who arrived at Wigan and didn't shine to start with.  Worked on his game, especially his kicking, and has been indispensable for the best part of 8 years now.

He's not known for his pace, but he's no slouch when he gets into top gear.  Slowing up a bit now maybe, but like you say, still a great finisher and don't think there's anyone better in the SL under the high kick?

Compared to Botica, he's a far better player.  Botica would shade it for me in regards to the kicking, but there's so much more to Pat's game.

Phenomenal finisher.

Sounds like a good idea to me, and provides a means of dialogue between the fans and the refs. Not for abuse, apparently

Good win for Wakey against Widnes at their place.  Could have gone either way, but a good game to watch.

Wigan didn't play too well against Hull, but did enough to win by 8 points, thanks to Super Paddy Richards who scored 6/6 from the boot.

London 6 St Helens 10 at half-time.

I've got London, and London +6.5pts, and it's been a close one so far.

Boooooom!

21-14 to London.  Lots of mistakes from sintellins, and London defended pretty well.

Salford v Cas is a cracking game - both sides making all sorts of errors and they're taking it in turns to score tries.

5 minutes to go, no idea who's going to win it!

[Acidmouse]

wow some good games, need to watch the highlights show!

[kinboshi]

Leeds v KR should be a good game as well. Would expect a fair few points and Leeds to come out on top.

Noble's tactics at Salford are called into question...

At half-time it's been a pretty easy first 40 minutes for Leeds v Bradford and Wigan v Salford, as expected.

The interesting score is Saints 12 Widnes 22 at half-time.  More woe at Langtree Park

Make that half time score 12-28, I do believe.

Yes, must have kicked-off a bit later - so even better

The start was delayed by at least 15 minutes, but I cannot ascertain the reason.
