I'd sign him. He has a lot of promise
sorry but we don't need (or have time for) players with a lot of promise, we need players that can perform straight away
also from what I've seen of him. I don't agree with you
Regardless of whether Patterson is up to the standard or not, the idea that the Nix should not be signing young New Zealanders that have potential/promise is ridiculous.
Yes we should be signing Kiwis with good potential but we already have Cacace and Singh in that category. While I have no opinion on Patterson being great or otherwise, I am not sure how many more promising Kiwis we should be signing right now instead of a few more experienced campaigners that we would need to steady our leaky boat. We cannot be just banking on Kiwi youth alone while we still have the license. Finishing the season higher than CCM is not a bar I consider high enough for us, regardless of how many seasons we have left.
