NRL transfer market news: Wests Tigers closing in on English star John Bateman
How good! Things are looking much nicer for the tigsThe Wests Tigers are closing in on the signature of English forward John Bateman as they enter the final stages of negotiations with Super League giants Wigan.
News Corp understands that the Tigers are expected to confirm the signing of Bateman on a long term deal in coming days continuing their remarkable metamorphosis under coach Tim Sheens.
Bateman starred in the NRL for Canberra before returning to England at the end of 2020. He is set to return to Australia next season in a Tigers forward pack bolstered by the additions of David Klemmer, Isaiah Papali’i and API Koroisau.
The Tigers are also in the mix for Parramatta halfback Mitchell Moses and Penrith centre Steve Crichton, although they face stiff competition from Canterbury for both players.
Bateman shapes as a significant addition for the Tigers, having recently been part of the England side at the World Cup. He is expected to link with the Tigers in the new year, once the club has formalised an agreement with Wigan.
News Corp understands that the Tigers will pay a transfer fee to free Bateman from his Wigan contract. He is then expected to sign a deal with the Tigers for as long as four years in a sign of his belief that the club is on rise under Sheens and assistants Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah and David Furner.
The length of the deal suggests Marshall was heavily involved in the decision - he is due to take over from Sheens at the end of the 2024 season. In the meantime, Bateman’s arrival will provide the Tigers with more ammunition in the forwards as they look to lift themselves off the bottom of the ladder.
My bet is Nathan Brownwho will be our 13 in 2023?
Didn't Crichton knock us back a couple of years ago, he will go to the dogs for sure.WT are set to announce the signing on John Bateman in the coming days. WT are also in the mix for Mitchell Moses and Stephen Crichton for 2024 (Telegraph) via @NBWT

Don’t forget new signings Talau and BloreKorisau, Papallai, Staines, Klemmer and Bateman wow 😍😍😍
there was discussions in 2021 i believe, but who knows now api, charlie etc all came over we may be in contention... definately far fetched as i do feel he will end up with the dogsDidn't Crichton knock us back a couple of years ago, he will go to the dogs for sure.
It means we the amount of overs we'll have to pay will be even higher. Papali'i would cost us a million under the current cap. We'd need to offer Moses 1.5 rather than 1.1.I don't think it's dire.
Firstly we will have known and potentially assessed / included likely cap increases into offers made.
Secondly, any contract up for grabs right this moment might be significantly affected, but over the next 12-18 months, we will have the space we already had, plus the new cap space to spend.
So Tigers can still be very active in the market, in fact moreso when the dust settles.
I'd say highly unlikelythere was discussions in 2021 i believe, but who knows now api, charlie etc all came over we may be in contention... definately far fetched as i do feel he will end up with the dogs
You’re right, he is an international. Let’s hope we don’t get the same as our last Pommy internationalYeah but he’s still an international level second rower we seen that at the World Cup and where weren’t trying to convince him to change from 1 Sydney club to another where trying to convince him to move half way across the world
John’s wife is a Canberra girl .. she’s big into horses, she competes in equestrians and horse events .. she’ll be happy to back home with baby son .. 😀😀 .. will be interesting to see if John’s 11 year old daughter comes this time .. ??His wife apparently wanted to return home and that would be a large amount of leverage in getting him here.
