Re: Sam Hopkins
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.TrueBlueWarrior wrote:Thought Bateman looked good there 2nd half v KR.cpwigan wrote:Personally thought he looked very promising pre season albeit he is a lefty.

Re: Sam Hopkins
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
