West Tigers have announced he has signed a 2 year deal. It is on twitter. I hope this isnt true

Confirmed on Wests twitter account. Sinking ship....

No shock for me , I tweeted it last Friday he was going back home , I read his sister in laws facebook saying he was going back home last week , what puzzles me is why I wasn't in IL news conference with all the other announcement s the other day :-/ .

He was out of contract at the end of this season so whilst it's disappointing it's not totally unexpected.

They all go back at some point.



He's served us well and we've had his best years.



Good luck Pat.

now announced by the club, will be missed

Can't blame him really, he has done more than enough for Wigan.

A terrific 8 years from Pat. I'm upset he's going but as posted above, he's done more than enough for Wigan. Lets hope he goes home with another SL winners ring.

It's been a pleasure watching you Pat, good luck!

is Amos Roberts fit yet?

I am not too disappointed from a playing point of view. Yes he has been a quality player and still is but I think he is losing a yard of pace each season. His kicking will be missed.



What will be interesting is to see who we replace him with. I do not think we can keep relying on promoting kids. With Sam looking set to go, and Richards too we are losing experience and points.



To chuck 2 young lads in and expect to maintain the same standard of performance is not realistic.

We are signing Wendell Sailor as Pat's replacement so Amos can play FB instead of Sam
