Bateman is one of the nicest players ive spoke to off the field. Had time for opposing fans and always made an effort.
On the field he is absolute class and I'm so glad he took the leap to join the NRL. Hopefully stay there for his career now.
The GB forwards should be class this Autumn.
Players like:
Burgess bros
Bateman
Whitehead
Watts
Thompson
Josh Hodgson
Daz Clark
Will be exciting for sure.
And now that it looks like Hastings, Austin and Coote will be part of the backs. Best international side we have seen for a long time.
I'm hoping that we don't go through with the plan to use aussies. I'd go:
1. Ratchford
2. Makinson
3. Percival
4. Gildart
5. Charnley
6. Lomax
7. S.Tomkins
8. Graham
9. Hodgson
10. Thompson
11. Bateman
12. Whitehead
13. S.Burgess
14. G.Burgess
15. Roby
16. Walmsley
17. Hill
Reserves - Hardaker, Connor, Williams, T.Burgess, Watts, Clark, Farrell
