John Bateman #268

Bateman was more popular on here than Luai before he arrived.
Seemed everyone was totally understanding that he looked after his cleaning business in England and took his family to Disneyland in the states, rather than attend preseason training. just saying.

I and many others did not want Bateman before he came and stated that fact,i am yet to see a single person on here not wanting Luai at our club.So i fail to see how Bateman was more popular
 
If he’s not going to run the ball or tackle hard which he won’t, than he’s not trying and he’s no good to us.
We need forwards who will run the ball hard and tackle hard, not imposters who run sideways and arm grab.

You do realise he’s 31 and only 90kg? We have halves bigger .
 
the guy crabs s l o w e l y on a 28 degree angle to bog the play down or contribute 2 the penalty count every 3rd set attack or d that he is involved,2 me thats 30% of the time he is out there,his knowledge is not being parted on our kids.bog average

you heard it all here last month or 3 back
Everything on here is opinion based or slanted with a bias either way.
Over and over again we are told he’ll stay in England, or he’ll be swapped to another club.
The man himself has contradicted this narrative yesterday.
Therefore it’s worthwhile taking anything said on here without direct sources as conjecture at best.
 
You're big on the name calling, but that aside, do you think when situations at the club have become untenable, the people involved were drama queens?

The crux if the issue is he is playing shit football. Nothing else really matters.

I'm not convinced the relationship Is untenable just
yet, I'll be watching him closely Monday morning.
I still think he has something to offer & point 2 prove

He’s just saying what his agent has told him to say. imo. 😜

I think Bateman will come good next season, we need his x- factor- renewed passion with Luai at the helm .. I’m sick of paying players to play against us at rival clubs.
