Onya Bateman!

I don't think whoever wrote the article knows what they're talking about...
His try? Unlucky bounce of the ball...
AD threw some hospital passes at him...got stitched up
70 running metres? good effort for his first game back under 35 degree heat....
If anything he needs some fake tan for those lilly white legs...man alive they give me cataracts.

Mate, in this brave new world , makes no difference if he’s black or white, long as he plays well.
I’m happy to shield my eyes from his lily white skin.

This will clearly be an unpopular opinion as everyone is waxing lyrical about how excellent he was, but I wasn’t impressed with Bateman’s performance. Outside of the fluffed try, he didn’t contribute many run metres, had 4 errors, a ruck infringement, and a dumb penalty. He’ll need to do better than that moving forward. I admit there was effort and oppressive heat, but I didn’t see much worthwhile.

Could have made those errors in Reggie’s last week and been better for the run this week.
He did ok for the limited prep he’s had and I reckon we can safely say he’ll improve.
If he scores that try though we’d all be going nuts over him.

Most of the comments are useless and one must ask "did they actually watched the game?"🤔
They either never played the game or they follow other sports e.g. synchronised swimming 😡

I swear DT and these clowns at Foxsports have no idea and just make things up for click baits.
He is not on 800k and did an excellent job yesterday.
I cannot wait for a club to take legal action against these clowns because it actually does effect the clubs brand. It's gutter journalism and once someone gets put back into place I think it will put a lot more back in there box.

I thought he was on $800k? At least that’s what had been reported.

I thought it was 650-700k but if it is 800k I still think that is fine for a Current international player that will add valuable experience and mongrel to our team.

Looks like Klemmer ok to play on Friday, not charged by judiciary. Minor incident, thought that might be the case.

Maybe we might get some fortune in this space given that the tackle by Papali was in the 23rd minute and Jack Johns continued on until 45th minute including after a half time break.
Newcastle reportedly phoned the match review committee to get it added to the charge sheet.

Sorry, imo he’s crap, been saying that for 6 months. His best days are well behind him. Never breaks a tackle or sets up a play.
Why do you think he jumped at a longer term contract, never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Job security coz he knew no one else would want him.

My previous comments re Joffa. Think they might be just about spot on. Can’t see him having any impact this season unless he reinvents himself as a ball playing forward.

I have to agree.
Not sure why so many have already dropped their pants for this fella.
He had a solid, yet standard game I thought. I certainly hope for much better.
