Thought Bateman looked good there 2nd half v KR.

I think Bateman looks good full stop. Possible successor to Lockers? Not sure if he is a righty or lefty but he appears to me to more naturally go right to left (go inside) when playing on the right.

I've said several times that Bateman will not only take over at 13 when Lockers retires but I think he'll take the captaincy as well. Very good rugby brain IMO
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

I've heard a few people say the same thing. Possibly our best signing in years!

I think if lockers does hand over to Bateman we are in safe hands
