He is as tough as they come and fights on every play and never gives up. We need to fill this team with never say die effort players and he fits the bill

Quite impressive but only downside was that its 2019 highlights.
Would love to see one for 2022, maybe not so impressive.
Its a lot of money to gamble ie. will he be the same in the NRL as he was before ?
If you saw his 2021/2022 package you would wonder who could be so senile as to throw big money at him.IF he is coming i have great worries over his effectiveness for us
Taking the Bate
Wests Tigers are well aware of supposed issues John Bateman has with Jackson Hastings. That they’d continue to pursue Bateman anyway is a sign that even though they have made changes, the organisation still has a long way to go.
Their courtship of the former Canberra second-rower smacks of desperation to land a “star” signing.
We’ve been told Bateman has had his run-ins not just with Hastings but with other players.
He is a vocal character who is not afraid to let coaches know his opinion. Hastings is believed to have no ill will towards Bateman, but it seems Bateman has a problem with Hastings.
Hastings was one of the Tigers’ best players last season. His engagement with fans was without peer. He deserves the club’s respect.
Bateman was offered to the Knights and others some time back. After doing their homework on him, all decided to pass.

'Stinks of greed': How the roles reversed
Nick Kyrgios and the Raiders are taking stands for the right reasons.
Remember who his player manager was ........
Reminder of what actually happened originally .....he wanted more money ......

Any 1 who thinks he was been greedy and treated Canberra poorly go and listen to his podcasts on bloke in a bar. The media made him out to be a monster but he really wasn’t

Danny Weidler…Nine News.
Take his stuff with a grain of salt. Talks about Bateman being a divisive character best steered clear of. Coming from DW, the self appointed fluffer and cheer leader for Sonny Bill who walked out on his BullDogs teammates - he’s hardly a sound judge of character. By the way, saw SBW got dropped last night. Not going to be critical, anyone who steps into the ring has big balls, but Weidler must be beside himself today. Inconsolable.

He said he wants to concentrate on the world cup before making any announcements and thats fair enough.
Now that the tigers have come up with the transfer money he is probably waiting to see if anyone else wants to jump in.
This is a big thing for Sheens, if he can get Klemmer and Bateman to sign that will give other players confidence to get on board in 23-24.
Atm we are still bottom feeders. 🤞🤞🤞
How things can change overnight with a sudden inclusion of talent.

Bateman would be a far more expensive version of Gildart,i hope somebody else is as stupid as Sheens and signs him instead of us.Klemmer is by far better value
