Southerner80 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Tbh he would find a contract somewhere as is very good defencively. Just lacks creativity. Probably a second row somewhere for a mid table NRL team or Bennett takes him to Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Dane Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Since when has the NRL been short of decent centres? It's literally one of the most competitive positions for spots in the comp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padge Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just for clarity, since some people don't realise what Bateman's role is. http://www.wiganwarriors.com/teams/first-team/john-bateman Visit my photography site www.padge.smugmug.com Radio 5 Live: Saturday 14 April 2007 Dave Whelan "In Wigan rugby will always be king" This country's wealth was created by men in overalls, it was destroyed by men in suits.

RP London Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 can i just point out... I'd like to move to the NRL.. that doesnt by any stretch of the imagination mean its going to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blotto Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 While he was a target for the Aussie Schoolboys in 2012 as a stop him you stop the attack going forward strategy, I don't think he considered a move to Oz at the time if there were offers because of having a young family, since then he's not really stepped up enough to get any of the NRL Clubs to make a serious inquire!

Farmduck Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 There are two different concepts here. There's the Sam Burgess/James Graham scenario where the player goes to NRL and establishes beyond all doubt that they are in the World elite - probably in the top 20 players in World RL. Then there's the Mike Cooper/Joe Greenwood scenario where the player goes to the NRL, isn't a megastar but still becomes a permanent fixture in the team and all the players and the fans are happy to see them in that 17 week after week because they deliver. They are both good goals. They both pay well. They both give you a different perspective on life and definitely worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also does a side line in the Feng Shui business. I know this because he rearranged the interior of a local gym in Wigan. “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolford6 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 He's a good friend of Elliot Whitehead, who's maybe sussing out opportunities for loose forwards. It's John Bateman's natural position.

Bateman say is in top 200 players in the world so hence has a shot at NRL and being a decent 17 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
