Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I don't know where this "he's a gun goal kicker" comes from. Yes he kicks goals, and he's ok. When i've seen him play he's kicked at maybe 70% at best. He's missed the posts by about 20-30m a few times with some absolutue shanks. I noticed he doesn't really have a technique, a pattern. He just walks up to the ball and thumps it.

There's also absolutely zero chance he gets burdened with extra duties as a teenager in high school playing NRL. Maybe in 2 years but for now we'll keep it simple for him.
well that’s what I mean by when he plays firsts regularly. it’s gonna be a little bit. once Api retires it’ll be between him and Tallyn.

he also kicked at 80% in Matts this year. for a 17 year old that’s impressive, technique or not. I’ve seen him in person a couple times and he’s slotted them from the sideline on both occasions.
 
Biy of a red flag imo knowing what we already know... Sounds like a lunatic... Dunno why so many seem so keen on him coming here.. Just sounds like a headache we don't need
Possibly. Maybe when he matures he’ll be a completely different person. Who knows what they’ve been through to be where / who they are. Might be a mental disorder that could be addressed. Maybe Terrell will get through to him one day.

Just noticed in today's 'celebrity' clip on the club website in one passage, it looks like the 1st team in black singlets with Api passing out to Galvin on the right (Luai was on the left) with Seyfarth running a backrow decoy line off Galvin with Bula sweeping to take the pass.
I love Seyfarth and Galvin on the same side they look similar on the field so it will have the defence in two minds when Galvin or Seyfarth get the ball. lol.
 
Yeah those hill runs will kill him Ink
You mean "that hill".

Castle Hill is only a couple of metres short of being classified as a mountain.

I have had the unfortunate expereince of running up that sucker in battle rattle a few times and PT gear several times more. 😢

Bateman off the plane form the Old Dart and into the heat and humidty of the ville won't happen. It takes at least two weeks of short bursts of physical activity to acclimatise.

They won't do a singular run that's for sure .....maybe if he can't cope they could send him for a swim off the Strand .....tell him crocs are just footwear
 
Bloke probably would have played 10-15 first grade games here last year and onto a top 30

The way we handled his debut here was disgraceful and I don’t blame him for leaving.

Brett Kimmorley thought it would be smart to wait until the final minute or two of a tight game to debut a 19 y/o kid in a tight game that was going to come down to the very last set. Dead set moron.
 
I can't see Bateman going to the Cowboys. I believe he's only digging his heels in with us because he wants to stay an NRL player in NSW.

Surprised he knocked back Souths.
Maybe Johnny boy is pretty smart and thinks the Wests Tigers Could be a better place come finals time , he stays and plays in top grade cause if he is in lower grade ( Reserves ) and we are loosing Benji in trouble , if he thinks he can push for first grade and play finals why not , Bateman just played for his country , our young guys don’t stack up to him in his position , simple
