You're correct.
Remind me how much time Bateman has spent at Her Majesty's Pleasure? |

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

Chev paid for what he did and learned a valuable lesson in the process as evidenced by his conduct in this matter.
Will Bateman be censured for his conduct in this incident? Or will he be allowed to get away with throwing his toys out of his pram?

FFS people. It was simply a daft comment from an 18 year old kid, obviously upset at what has cracked off at Bradford, and responding in a typical teenager fashion. Gob in gear, brain in neutral. As he gets older, he'll learn how to insinuate, without actually leaving himself open to snotty letters from those easily offended.
Like the Leeds Chapter of the Mary Whitehouse Massive.....

Never liked Kevin Costner, or any other Robbing Hood!!!!: |

| Quote: batleyrhino "I'm not on a soapbox, I'm not even outraged no matter how much Billy might like it.
Bateman has been a prat with the things he's said, he's accused the RFL of being corrupt. If a player of any other club had done that this week, he'd be hauled up before the beak, so all I'm thinking is "will we see consistency in approach"?
He's behaved like a spoiled brat and should apologise for his actions. He hasn't even lost his job, how do you think those that have feel, and they haven't been tweeting about how corrupt the governing body is.
"Outraged of Batley", you know me better than that. ![]()
Perhaps the RFL understand that emotions are running high in the camp, and they will have a quiet word?
How many people on here said the RFL was corrupt when they bought Odsal? were they spoiled brats too?
Bateman's job is to be a rugby league player, and the last time i saw him, he was doing a great job of that! Good enough, even for the mighty rhinos to want him!
If we'd had more players with his energy, committment and spirit, we wouldnt be in the mess we are now!
All this kids ever done is want to play for the bulls. he's not the most academic lad, but he's not paid to be!
If we had a media relations officer, or a coach, perhaps one of them could have had a word, but we dont so they cant!

I seem to remeber Bailey saying something on Twitter not so long ago.
Didn`t he get a rollicking for saying it.
I know Baileys was deemed in bad taste whereas Bateman was just letting off steam.
If I were to put something on twitter or Facebook about my bosses being corupt I would probably be out of a job now.
Twitter will get someone hung before long.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Bateman is entitled to have an emotive reaction. He's entitled to have a stupid reaction. He's entitled to publish his emotive yet stupid reaction on twitter if he's daft enough to do so.
Bats has simply commented that it showed a lack of maturity on his part. Why is everyone getting so defensive and precious about Bats commnent? It's an accurate observation.
I don't feel sorry for Bateman. People lose there jobs all the time. Unlike many of his peers and may of the other back room staff at the Bulls he'll be OK because of his talents.
When a Super League player makes himself look like an idiot in the public domain that's worthy of comment on a super league internet message board.

Their. 
I had a word with him last night, I think he understood the error of his ways. Hopefully I'll have a properly constructed interview with him online next week. |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
