John Bateman #268

Both Api and Jonneh know what it takes to win and are leading our team from the front doing the 1% things that make a difference hopefully soon enough the rest of the players follow I've noticed also Kepoa ans Blore attached to Jonnehs hip and they've gotten better each time we've seen them

Think blore still has a way to go.

I am trying to decipher the words on his tattoo.
I can see fall, rise
make mistakes
……, rearm
And last word thankful.

Hey Johnny , how about you share those inspirational sayings and where they came from !

Created our first try via overlap in 4 games. Top bloke.
He’s a crowd favourite already.

Can we put him in the #7?

At least his grubbers stay in the field of play

 

[Tiger Woods]

Well done on your try batman 👏🦇

Well done on your try batman 👏🦇

Consistently adds touches of class and controlled aggression in attack and defence. Love what he brings to the team with his 1%ers

Had to admit I wasn't all that enthusiastic about his signing, but have to admit that he has been good and glad that we have him.

And a heap of controlled aggression and touches of class that no stats will ever capture

I was thrilled when we signed him and this is why what an absolute legend

Yes he stings in defence and has that ruff them up attitude , opposite teams today don’t like it as players are precious , always looking for a cheap penalty , great signing

 

[The Chad]

The more I watch him, the more I want him playing #13 and giving Brooks & Wakeham a mate in the middle offering up attacking options & taking the heat of the halves.

 

[Dino]

Noffa's first try was because of him more than anyone else I can't remember us having a second rower who knew when to hold the ball that second longer like he did

As to think people were question his signing... he is a pure footballer and a massive signing.

Yes, got very involved but obviously wanted to make a statement to Canberra after his move back home. Hope he keeps it up on future games.

I said he was a risky signing. He has been a great signing for us. We've made some good signings this year but he he has been one of the best.
