Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Fri Jun 07, 2024 12:50 am  
With us and Catalans being linked with John Bateman, do you think we are actually interested or is it the old case of managers using our name to drive up contract prices?
He's been off the boil for a few years now, but in top form he's brilliant. And Burgess can clearly get players firing again.
If we did get him it will be a long time coming since we tried to sign him and Whitehead fro Bradford all those years ago.

Soon as the Abdull rumour is put to bed we get the Bateman rumour. At present his form is not where we would want and the other issue is soon as someone offers bigger cash he would be off

That’s the thing with our club, agents will link us to whoever to bump up the price/salary. It a fault of our own making by having history of doing just this. Hopefully Burgess and Chambers steer us away from this.

Ratchford's been offered a 12 month extension before he moves in to a coaching role.

I liked Ratch as a player, but a "winner" he is not. This is a guy that has been in 4 losing finals, and we wonder when we will develop that ruthless winning edge that helps us win the big games?


But the jobs for the boys era is over isn't it?

No problem with Ratchford moving onto a coaching role with us, which will probably be at the Scholarship/Academy level.

However we have enough young players now who need further Super League experience in out 1st team and I disagree with Ratchford being given a playing contract for 2025.

If there is a vacancy, why not invite applications for the role and judge objectively. You know, like the normal world. This is just jobs for the boys pure and simple. Probably a Chambers' decision who was appointed in exactly the same way.

Could we not get a coach who has actually won something of note to inspire and develop the youngsters?

Apologies, I wasn't very clear in my post. I meant a coaching role in rugby league, not necessarily at Warrington. Although I am told he is potentially being looked at as a future coach in our set up. Not sure in what capacity though ie, I don't know if it's 1st team, Academy, community etc.
