Sell tickets and we can then afford a few more transfer fees!

David Riccio said he is “more than confident” that English star John Bateman will play for the Wests Tigers in 2023.

Bateman has prior experience in the NRL with the Canberra Raiders during their Grand Final season in 2019 but fell out of favour with coach Ricky Stuart and returned to the Super League ahead of last season.

The 29-year-old is reportedly keen to return to the NRL and the Tigers have all but completed the transfer according to Riccio.

“I’m more than confident,” Riccio said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.

“I’ve been speaking to the right people as far as the Tigers are concerned.

“There’s no pen to paper at this point of time from Bateman.

“Bateman has indicated to all his closest contacts over in the UK that he is headed to Australia.

“The Tigers are just dotting the ‘I’s and crossing the ‘T’s.

“The Tigers have no issue in paying the $250,000 mark (for the Bateman transfer).

“I’m more than confident that Bateman will be at the Tigers.”

Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis said he would not confirm if the club had confirmed a deal with Bateman.

“I did see quoted in the paper yesterday that Tim (Sheens) saying that the discussions are continuing,” Hagipantelis said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.

“Our policy is not to discuss publicly the recruitment or retention decisions (of the club).” (DT)

Seems like Lee has been put in his place by sheens 😄

Welsby ain't coming
George Williams still early days with that one

What's the fascination with George on this forum? He's the same height, same weight and has a similar kicking game to Brooks.

I don't get it.

He possesses a brain.

Maybe, but we've made our choice.

Nah, have too much respect for people who serve/d to see this clown use their sacrifice in a footy forum defending perceived height comments. Age don't give you a pass to be a dipshit.

didn't he say he served? so you respect those who serve when it suits you.

 

[cktiger]

Maybe, but we've made our choice.

Maybe not.

 

[Leck]

Maybe not.

Stranger things have not happend.

David working on a contract extension

Is Lee doing 10k a hole these days?

Hard to win when you don't even bring a golf club.

 

[cktiger]

Stranger things have not happend.

I’m hoping for Williams or Moses.
Brooks has proved he’s not a halfback… five eighth or nothing for him.

Love the new approach

Tupou was going well in state cup. Should have gotten an extended run in first grade given last year’s disaster and injuries to outside backs.

We picked Pauga over him.

I am not sure what it means moving forward given that Sheens was hiding in the background directing Noddy

Junior was injured at the end of the year with an ankle injury, hence why Pauga was used instead
