MIssing five games at the start of next season would make him even less value for money although perhaps you could argue that he'll at least get a good off season if he misses the World Cup.

Re: Bateman
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: Bateman
The difference being that they wouldn't ban their international player for the WC in this scenario no matter what he'd done...
Re: Bateman
Wigan put a 350,000 transfer fee on bateman from the west tigers. Tigers fans want to get it done. Would be a miracle if we can get him off the cap and get a fee as well

Exactly. Even though the Aussies are not really interested in International RL

Re: Bateman
I'm pretty sure he has a £200k (ish) clause in his contract
Re: Bateman
I cant imagine them paying that, I can see him going for a smaller fee if he indicates a desire to leave, however I've heard nothing of the sorts, I'm also pretty sure all that speculation was quashed at one of the fans forums.
