#1 draft pick gets knee injury

Maybe knee problems are contagious and he got it from some other bloke on their list

if it is contagious then they are going to have to do some serious quarantining of that certain bloke. At least him being in blacktown is already enough quarantining for the other clubs to feel safe

"The Giants have confirmed Patton will travel to Stockholm in January for treatment on his left knee."

I am sure that someone can work in a Sheedy induced Stockholm Syndrome pun?

A little tweety bird has indicated that a certain unnameable has had a reoccurence of a problem with a certain knee. Our thoughts are with him

I usually don't like to wish injury on players, especially young players. That being said, anything that makes GWS worse is fine by me.

They won't need any help. Their best is going to be putrid.

As far as the injury goes, I don't believe in karma, but a few more incidents like this may change my mind!

makes the decision to become a guarenteed millionaire look smarter and smarter

I don't like to full stop,

Why do I get the feeling that anytime there is bad news eminating out of GWS, it will be referred to as karma here ?

I don't like players getting injured. And I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. God speed Max Gawn.

Well I guess that it is just about as far as one can possibly get from Blactown -- does that say anything?

Is that why you used a comma?

We really shouldn't be wishing ill on young players who have been drafted to play in that godforsaken hole. They already have to suffer the indignity of being part of a shonky outfit and having a dipstick as a coach.

And who knows, someone like Patton might want to come back home when his two year stint at Bleaktown runs out.

He might even end up at a decent club and wear the red and blue.

With all the freebies that lot are getting they'd probably shrug their shoulders if he gave up and went off to become a Hare Krishna.

actually it's not the most unrealistic scenario in the world as william hopoate from manly in the nrl shunned a huge contract extension to go travel for two years as part of his mormon missionary service!!

Which only makes the frustration of not attaining it that much worse.

Poor guy. All the best.

Would not be surprised. Don't think the best will ever be seen of that guy.

LoL...

Think the OP doesn't understand the notion of karma.. I mean what did poor little Johnny do to deserve this?

Karma would be stealing a young hopeful off a team by offering way more than could ever be countered and then finding out he is only a second year player who is unproven and has a degenerating knee.. oh wait..

Would not be surprised. Don't think the best will ever be seen of that guy.

I think we DID see the best, against the Bulldogs. I doubt he will get much better than that last quarter. I also don't think he will play more than 15 games in any of his seasons with GW$. Any idea if theres an over/under on it?

Have heard that Scully's knee soreness has flared again.

I honestly very very rarely wish injury on any player, but the Dive Bomber ripping his hamstring whilst taking a dive was karma.

But should a certain lying mercenary whose name starts with $, with a fat dad, have ongoing knee problems I wouldn't shed a tear.
