Have to agree with both above….. we have strengthened the centre positions( at last) and massively weakened the backrow….. 3 out none in doesnt fit

Why?, If he was good enough we would of kept him regardless of what Bateman was or wasn't doing

Didn’t we offer him a new deal but the Wolves offered a better one?
I’m sure someone said that on here when he left

Maybe so but if he was seen as being the future of the club surely we would have upped the offer

That he’s not here I’d suspect he wasn’t seen as the next messiah by the club it seems to me.

Depends on how much the salary cap we had left, maybe that’s why we had to let him go?
Remember we haven’t an unlimited pot like the Wolves
