Had a blast catching up with Luke Patten for this chat. We spoke a bit about his NRL career and how he delt with the difficult times. How he got himself mentally prepared for not only the big games but every game.
The General started his NRL career at the Illawarra Steelers, played in a grand final for the St George Dragons in 1999. He started of playing in the center position before progressing to fullback in his later years.
In 2001 he joined the Canterbury Bulldogs and quickly made the fullback position his own. In 2004 he played in every game of the Bulldogs premiership winning season which finished with a 16–13 victory Grand Final win over the Sydney Roosters.
A two-time winner of the clubs best and fairest in 2006 & 2007, Patten became the club's heart and soul.
At the end of the 2010 NRL season he signed a 3-year deal to join the Salford City Reds in the English Super League. In his last season for the club (2012) he was voted the clubs best and fairest.
