Richo isn't on his pat
Most of us are questioning his willingness, hunger, desire, attitude etc etc

Sport Confidential: Shane Richardson’s cryptic “crocodile roll” warning to John Bateman
Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson has called out John Bateman questioning the Englishman’s willingness to join the club in the “crocodile roll” that lies ahead.Michael Carayannis and Brent Read
John Bateman has been told that he will need to toe the line at the Wests Tigers next year or face the consequences amid fresh speculation over his future.
Bateman is currently in England preparing for a Test series against Samoa, having finished the season on a loan deal with Super League side Warrington.
He is due to return to the Tigers for the start of next season but there has been talk he could be on the move given his relationship with coach Benji Marshall.
Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson said Bateman’s future is in his own hands and there would be an expectation that he – along his teammates – fall into line.
Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson (main) has read the riot act to John Bateman (inset).
“We don’t want any player who doesn’t want to be at the club for the crocodile roll that lies ahead and that applies to every player including John Bateman,” Richardson said.
“If he’s not comfortable with the club and the direction Benji is taking us, that is a decision for him.”
Bateman has two years left on a contract that is believed to pay him excess of $650,000 a season. That won’t stop the Tigers and Marshall from sending him back to NSW Cup if they feel he isn’t buying into the club’s ethos.

But we owe him money. So we totally understand that he wants to see out his contract like Bud. We created this mess. Or at least the directors before me. We must take full responsibility. Otherwise we need to keep the best and sign Pole and Fainu We need to focus on the future rather than the past.

The last paragraph say's it all,so much for Sheens "X" factor must have expensive signing.

I wish John would come out and apologise to benji and the club and state that he isn’t taking part in the English test series to focus on west tigers

F, I didn’t think you were the type who believed in miracles.
From what’s been aired, Bateman is doing what Farah did to Potter, telling all and sundry he can’t coach. Now the last time this happened we sacked the coach in favour of the player but this time we would probably sack the player in favour of the coach. Which way is correct ?
And by the way, is that why Robbie’s gone ? Coz he found another coach he didn’t rate ?

We could have another documentary. But like Neighbours or Home and Away - could be perennial.
