Right now I doubt he will start before round 4
It’s becoming a very costly transfer let’s really hope we get the Raiders Bateman and not the ESL version or this will be a total dud over priced signing. Know he is here for more than 1 season but he has missed all preseason prep which almost takes out this season (we have seen that with other players alot).

Apparently he will enter Leichhardt Oval in a helicopter round 1 or 2.

I really doubt it and I really doubt this is the clubs fault.

you can't apply for a work visa without a signed contract of employment, which happened after christmas.
It will sort itself out.

His potential arrival is in the hands of a government department and it's visa application processes. One that has improved immensely over the past year or so, particularly staffing wise, though still not great.
Such process could not begin prior to an employment agreement/contract being finalised, which also relied upon a deal being done with his former employer before that as well. So couldn't be done any earlier than that.
Relax, he will be here soon enough.

To take a glass half full approach, the fewer games Bateman plays for us, the less chance he will get injured.

If he doesn't make it over here at all, he definitely will not get injured.
