A poll of who? Executives & coaches around RL? It would not be close. His reputation in the NRL is even higher than over here where he is considered one of the best second rowers.Dreamteam wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:17 pmGuarantee if you did a poll on who would want john bateman off the cap and who would want him to stay it would be a lot closer than you thinkwgwr1999 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 2:23 amClearly his stock isn't low considering the only people in world rugby who don't want him at their club are the vocal minority in this fanbase...Dreamteam wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 8:32 pm Tigers will pay a fee if it’s not too outrageous and nobody will stand in his way. Slap in the face of Canberra but defo not us. Robbed 2 years of wages and game time for kpp in his natural position. Despite his stock being low west tigers are even more of an embarrassment of a club than Warrington
But if you do a pop quiz with our fans, you'd get a lot of them telling you that 2+2=5.

I think this “Dreamteam” is a fake account to intentionally argue and provocate.
Nobody would intentionally have such negative views and opinions of the
Sports team they support.

In all honesty I’d take Bateman off the cap in a heartbeat, highest paid player at the club and an absolute shadow of his former self.
Can’t remember thinking Wow he’s had a brilliant game since his return. Previously before Australia he was unplayable at times, now he gets dominated in most tackles then does that horrendous thing where he tries to milk a penalty every time he’s tackled, but all it does is slow our attack down significantly.
KPP everyday for me and twice on a Sunday.

I remember him in his last season before he went to the NRL, he must of been the best player on the park for the majority of the games

Do you mean KPP who will be gone at the end of 2023? Batty is still first class, if he wasn’t then the Aussies wouldn’t be interested.God2 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 11:49 pm In all honesty I’d take Bateman off the cap in a heartbeat, highest paid player at the club and an absolute shadow of his former self.

KPP states he has 2 internationals before him for 2nd row, his preferred position, so only gets picked there if there is an injury or a ban!Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:30 amDo you mean KPP who will be gone at the end of 2023?
