Never noticed him butchering the ball
Me either. Surprised at that statement,
His kicks just ballooned and put his team mate under pressure
I thought his kicking was where he improved the most last year. He may continue to surprise a few on here. I was a skeptic at the start of the season. I was a cautious fan by the end.

I'm told he has great leadership qualities and IIRC, he was the captain of the Dragons in his draft year, and has been vocal on the track from day one.

Not sure Ben Paton was from Sandy Dragons?

Feel like it was the country like Murray or Bendigo

I think you are right, Ben was from northern VictoriaI it was Ryan Byrnes who was captain of the Dragons.

After the leg break he has always looked a little tentative and didn't throw his body into the fray as he did before. Unfortunately, not the same player post injury.
Good luck to him but I can't see him being any more than injury cover up in Sydney.

I was talking about Ryan Byrnes. I thought that was very clear.

There were 4 posts starting with one from saintbob and they were talking about Paton
https://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic ... 3#p2083193

Nick DalSanto Claus then added to the discussion by talking about someone else

NDS thought CURLY's follow up negative comment was again about Ryan, so I can see how NDS got the 2 players confused.

Correct, Scollop. Thanks for cleaning that up for me. I was answering criticism of Ryan Byrnes. I swerved out of the Paton lane and into the Byrnes lane.

You got it, so I assumed most would also, except for........ Anyhow, I became a Byrnes fan this year. I hope he continues to improve.
