Pretty clear he’s not going to be here. The guy has no desire to be and Benji doesn’t want him either. Neither do the supporters. The guy is a A grade knob.

Where’s he going then? You’d think he would have jumped at the prospect of playing under Bennett.

Issac Moses shenanigans- max $$$ for him, drag WT through barbed wire to get max pain and payout. Bateman is just an end to a means of more money to Moses.

Not sure how sulky John Bateman not playing first grade in 2025 is any different from sulky John Bateman not playing first grade in 2026 to be honest.

I thought you were older Tucker. Alf Garnett was the cranky old monarchist, racist bigot in Till Death Us Do Part. His arguments with his son in law Mike reminded me of the WTF. He always prefaced his outlandish views with " it stands to reason".

You couldn’t use “it stands to reason” on here. A lot wouldn’t understand that concept.
Yeah I’m old but not elderly lol…I’ve never heard of that show.
I’ll look it up cheers.
Well he the best option for no12 at the moment. 2026, Naden,Staines and a few others will be gone. We will have spots to fill. 2nd rower and a lock are needed.
No point getting rid of him if we have no one else to play there
I dont think any likely outcome will result in Bateman/Moses getting more money. Bateman will earn whatever his current salary with Tigers/other club combining to pay that salary. Unless any new club also extends his contract, there is no financial gain for Moses.

I’ve worked out on those steps, walking up and down them 4 times in a row. Absolutely brutal.

Here's the article on Brandon Smith from MSN. This comment appealed to me -
"The clubs that I have in mind and the ones my manager has told me about, I feel like I know what to expect from those clubs. I don’t really need to see if their gym has got air conditioning."

But he's not going to play. He doesn't want to, the coach doesn't want him to, it's not happening. There's as much chance of Batman playing back row for the Tigers in 2025 as Bateman. The only question is whether we have to pay out his whole contract or just some of it.

I don’t reckon he’s talking about us there. I reckon Fruit Pascals was probably the DH who was trying to sell him on the A/ C in the gym at the new CoE.
I like the bit where he says he wants a club that he fits in with. I think he needs that to get back to his best. I am not sure it’s us but we have a GF window we are trying to long to open and he is a good lock.

I assume he’s referring to the Skillion (not the beach) 🤣
