John Bateman

Don't take him back. He's a crock and he walked out on us. Why do we take everyone back?

I rate him very highly but I wouldn't be doing anything at the moment.

He is a very light player who punches above his weight. This makes him prone to injury (especially in the latter half of his career).

I just don't think it is worth the financial risk.

??? Give your head a wobble. Bateman is top class and should jump at resigning him. Tell me the last English player who got in the Dally M team of the year

John Gray and after him Brian Carney (I know he is Irish but he deserves a mention), and they both donned the famous Cherry and White.

Sorry, I forgot about Widdop and Sam Burgess.

John Gray was a hooker, if I remember correctly he was signed from Coventry RUFC and he also played county cricket. Could kick goals as well.

Whilst not doubting he plays above his weight, what evidence do you have that it makes him prone to injury and especially in the latter part of the career?

Or is it just a theory that makes sense in your head?

On the Sky interview he looked to have bulked up a little.

Two lots of shoulder ops since Feb. That's not in my head.

Dally M doesnt mean a lot Morley never got in there as Lautiti got it instead of Morley who dominated in the grand fianl winning team and dominated Lautiti in that game, Hanley didnt amke it although he dragged Balmain to the grand final and only got domiantyed when Hanley went off at the half and Schofield also the year before.
