Re: Bateman

21 year old playing for his country.

Freakish ability to offload.

Athletic.

Still developing physically.

6’5”.

Already getting written off.

Laughable.

Only thing I will agree with is he isn’t a high level Union player, not sure where that idea comes from.

Re: Bateman

The point I’m trying to make Southport is that our great club knows what the situation is with Bateman but they choose to tell us the public that they haven’t heard anything Bet you are fun at parties! The club will not and should not say anything until the deal is concluded, they also have the rig...

Re: New Prop

Ellis was ok overall but just needs to take the handbrake off for me. You can sort of see why he was quite a highly rated young player in Oz but why he never really cracked it there. It’s all steady but very safe, not much aggression in terms of charging the ball in and not much in defence. We do r...

Re: New Prop

I could be wrong but it appeared to me we played better last season when Isa wasn’t in the 17. He was given a year too many on his deal, if we could move him on I would, but only if we bring in another backrower. To leave us with Faz, KPP and Nsemba is leaving us short. We’re heavy at prop and much...

Re: Small update on the rumours

Didn't do that with Wardle did I? And no, everyone is going off one mans comment on a podcast and an article that has since been deleted... I'm just confirming from reliable places that there is in fact a pending announcement. Unless your comment was to intentionally wind me up or cause a debate it...

Re: Small update on the rumours

Been told this morning that there is an announcement due from Wigan & that the squad isn't finished as of yet with regards to ins and outs. (Whether the announcement is linked to players I do not know) This is the first time for weeks Ive been directly told something. Wasn't given any more info...

Re: “Surprise Signing”

It’s not that different. However I don’t think the club would convert him anyway. It was a possible option should they bring in a big prop as a Bateman replacement It’s completely different. Your telling me the angles Liam Farrell runs or the support play or factoring in sliding defensive or more 1...

Re: Mago to Wakefield/Featherstone??

How is it any different to Tommy not counting on the quota last year?

In fact there is probably more of a case for Lam to be off quota than Tommy.

Re: Mago to Wakefield

There are more rumours that we are interested in one of Medlockes favourite props, Martin Taupau! What I can’t get my head round is, we’ve let a young Wigan 24 year old prop leave, Partington, then it’s rumoured about Mago who is 27, 28 in December a prop in his prime leaving for a championship sid...

Re: Bateman

Isa has been an absolute warrior for us. He’s coming towards the end of his career and maybe got given a year more than he should have on his last deal but it’s hard to say he hasn’t earned it. Week in week out 7 out of 10. Not a super star but an absolute machine, leader and consummate professional...
