Freakish player IMO. Tonight he brushed off Gareth Ellis (MOS IMO) who is a fantastic defender. He may be older now but I watched Ellis in his pomp repeatedly batter Gaz Hock in his pomp at Headingley every single tackle.

Bateman is a freak IMO. The way he retains balance and sheer strength.

here here.He saved two certain tries tonight ,putting his body firmly on the line

Has to wear the number 13 next season as Lockers is getting too many injuries. Freak of a player, good enough to play NRL.

Certainly need to build the team around him. Possible captain.

England RL has a very strong pack, however, Bateman should be one of the first names in that back row.
He plays for 80 minutes, deserved of more than a substitutes seat.

Top player we need to give IFL some credit for shelling out for JB.

We do indeed. Every week I think, how can someone so (relatively) small be so strong? He is just a beast.

:doz: We are talking about Bateman

Bateman is naturally teak strong, power way above his weight suggests.

Class player!!
