Batemans Gone

bump

Ryan Sutton, fringe international. Thats a bit of a leap at this stage.

He's in the Knights squad so it seems like an accurate assessment to me.

Spoke to him tonight, he says he doesn’t know where all these stories the last few days are coming from as he hasn’t signed anything yet & hopefully everything will be sorted for next week.

Obviously he’s not going to come out & announce anything before the club announcement.

But when he came over to the East stand after the game he was banging his Wigan badge with pride.

seen him do that a few times. I think he might be staying

Of course in football the first sign of badge kissing/banging usually means they’re off

Just saying like

Hope your right He is a big player for us even if he's not a physically big player for a forward or centre for that matter. Big heart big loss.

I dont get this at all

he's gone for 2-3 years and has already agreed to be our marquee player after that?

I hope that agreement has stipulations up to the hilt! i like Bateman but

1) he isnt a marquee player
2) who knows what state he will be in, in 2-3years?
3) who know what other players will be available in that time

im assuming there will be things in place

“With the recent signing of Joe Greenwood from the NRL to add to Liam Farrell and Willie Isa, coupled with promising youngsters such as Liam Paisley coming through the ranks, we still have plenty of quality in our second row department that we can call upon.”

Doesn't fill me with confidence

In other words despite boasting a "significant fee" we won't be investing back into the squad
