If so, what is the injury? Why did he play the whole season ? And why aren’t the club reporting the injuries like they have with the other players?

Re: John Bateman reveals England captaincy dream ahead of Test with France
he had it sorted didnt he? He had one in Aus and the other over here to remove the spurs on his shoulder, his injury in the international was his leg, I think his problem this year and for most of the team has been attitude, think they are better than they are and not rolling their sleeves up, he was schooled by bentley v Saints and can only think it was by attitude alone as otherwise Bateman would have had him in his pocketjosie andrews wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 4:36 pmHe’s had a problem with his shoulder/s all season.

Maybe he is sorted now, I don’t know but he has never looked right all season!
Or maybe like Pedro says attitude problems?

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: John Bateman reveals England captaincy dream ahead of Test with France
How was the match? How did Bateman play.
I assume he went well as no comments on here.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

He played ok, scored 2 tries, Farrell with the opening try.
Final score France 10 England 30
Other tries were from Davies & 2 from Makinson. Abdull kicked 3 goals.
