I agree, but I'm not asking him round for tea.

It depends on how Powell sees him as a person. Like Gale said in his podcast, we've recruited good people as well as players. Can Bateman fit in that. Not sure really.

Re: Rumours thread : Wed May 22, 2024 9:17 pm  
Am I missing something with Bateman?

Second stint at Wigan wasn’t all that but he’d definitely be one of the better SR’s in the league even at 31. A seasoned SL player averaging way over 20 games a year.

Place he’s from isn’t the nicest but I haven’t seen anything terrible in the media like you have with Hardaker over the years. Does he have that sort of history?

I remember him having quite a few fights with different teammates over the years, both here and down under. Wigan fans will know better than me but it's a theme that used to get talked about on their forum regularly, as well as when it's made the RL news.

Didn’t he have a fight with Lee Mossop after Haydock races, plus the police were called to a gym incident but can’t remember if it was the same evening

Re: Rumours thread : Thu May 23, 2024 4:53 am  
It’s good to finally have the finances to dream about the players we want to sign but we must be cautious and not follow the Salford strategy created by the owner of trying to buy for the sake of it. I am sure the current back room staff and ME will not fall into the same trap because how many times have I read on here that you cannot buy success.

He was involved in a nasty incident with another player but it's years ago perhaps he's grown up now.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.

Re: Rumours thread : Thu May 23, 2024 7:40 am  
Hastings would be a cracking 3rd signing. Adding to TJ and Mckmeeken and then adding a good 5/6 solid quality SL players of the right quality could really see Trinity have a good return to SL in 2025.

Still hoping the Storton rumour is good. Saw him a few times and like the look of him.

Yep that was ten years ago, nothing serious since.

If we are turning our noses up at the likes of Bateman than I seriously think some of our fans have lost their grasp on reality. He’s only 30, tough as hell, and a game breaker.

I agree, he’s not going to be busting tackles and scoring 10 + a season but he will be a very good experienced player to have with a good 2/3 years left in him. He’d certainly be the right standard to help push into playoffs if that’s where we are aiming in our debut return season to SL.
