Annoyed at that tbh. We should have been able to get him with the huge amounts of cap space we have..

If you mean Bateman, I wouldn't have wanted him. Decent player, not more in my opinion, but I just don't see him as a Leeds type player. He's also got a hatred of the club and that never goes down well...

Sam Walters is the next in line, he needs to get playing from the bench and will be a cracker.

Totally agree about Bateman really, just does not strike me as a ' Leeds type player ' He is good certainly not great though. Bit too much mongrel when we need something classier really. Would have had James Graham for a season but that was never going to happen

Bateman is absolutely class. Don't think fans genuinely believe the rubbish they are saying re 'not a Leeds type player'.
That's laughable....

Wigan players on reduced salaries and Leneghan spunks £x on another marquee.

Thats Hastings gone then.

Agreed. He is superb. Canberra are gutted to lose him. He’s exactly sort of player we need along with more punch upfront

Do you watch the NRL
He was one of the stand out players in the NRL last season and not playing at the moment due to injury.
Great defender,hardly misses a tackle and his attack has improved since being in the NRL.

Bateman is quality and would be a great fit for any side because all sides need quality players.

Field looked pretty good. I did chuckle at one of the commentators near the end when he said 'and even Field has had a good game'. Made him sound like he is usually utter shi te.

I couldn't agree more, i'd add Tom Holroyd too if he's fit

It's also a shame that Corey Johnson has retired from the game as he was the best junior 9 in this hemisphere and was ready for 1st team games in 2020

Players like Jack Broadbent,Alex Sutcliffe,Callum McLlelland and Muiz Mustapha etc have all missed a season of progression of playing at a higher level if the Championship doesn't resume, but they could all yet step up and play games for Leeds this season when the games come thick and fast
