Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[clontarfkid]

Bateman has been outstanding t for the Raiders,but at 96kg isn't exactly where Madge wants to take our forward pack,plus is likely to pick up a few more injuries against the big boys over the next few years.
Throw in Moses management ,and its a road to far for me for the $700-$800k hed want ...

 

[Cairnstigers]

Matterson clone NO
Mosses disciple No
Over paid injury prone player No
So when does he sign

JAMES POOPER WARNING:

Apparently John Bateman from raiders has asked for multiple releases but has been denied as his contract ends after 2021. I know we have quite a few good looking second rowers but if anything changes from now to then he would be a classy signing.

Most likely BS though

I was expecting to see this soon enough, Bateman ain’t scared to call the media out for their BS I love it.

Might be some truth to it....
Just now read on Fox sports that other clubs have confirmed approaches about him testing market value.

Standard Moses operandi 101..even if it's not true

 

[JC99]

Isaac Moses is a germ

Moses going to the playbook of shite

Thats great work from Bateman, I'm surprised more players dont unload on fake journos.

RAIDERS have given him permission to test the market looking at $800K only down side to the guy is his manager

At 800k it would be money poorly spent imo

Ahahaha that is hilarious

 

[innsaneink]

So who's BSing, JB or JH?

 

[JC99]

800k is massive overs for him.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

IMO $800k isn't overs for Bateman in the current climate. Won't list too many but look at some of the players in the NRL who are getting that, if not more. Duds like Milford, Darius (maybe), Hunt, Reynolds, Cherry-Evans (not a dud but not nearly worth the $1m per season he's getting) etc. Bateman is an 80 minute workhorse who regularly breaks the line. He's as good as Fifita IMO and people are happy to throw $1m a year at Fifita no worries.

 

[jadtiger]

Gareth Ellis at his best and 10 years younger would be worth 800k,Bateman is nowhere near that level

Bateman is good, but hasn’t scored many tries from his own side of halfway, stepping the fullback like a half.

Out of fear of legal action he shall not be named, but:
