Just a shame the instigator didn't get reprimanded as well, just to be fair

The fine more than likely equates to eight weeks wages so the club wins twice. No salary to pay out and keep him bang in fettle to run amok against the Aints on his return game.

Hopefully.

I am happy with the outcome. We must trust the Club and I hope JB will learn from this, become a great player he is capable of being and will stay with us for years to become a legend. John, you are capable of being as great a player as Ellery Hanley so please do not waste your talent.Be strong, lad.

I would like you to be right but I don't think so.

I think he's been the best player since Hanley to play for our great club to come from Yorkshire

Do you know what exactly happened??

Who is this "instigator" you're referring to??

How do you know what punishment has been handed out to the "instigator" as you put it?

We know what the club has told us. That should be sufficient. They should be commended on their handling of this incident & the outcome.

I know that I am very happy to know that John Bateman will remain at the greatest club in the world, Wigan Warriors ????????

Let's now forget about it, get on with watching our great game & stop pointing fingers ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Let's just say some are fully aware of what went on

But also agree need to move on and forget it at end of the day yes professionals and role models but we've all had that mad night out and made a mistake
