| As the CEOs apparently likely to stay on after Hood's gone I wonder if he's been speaking to Caisley and Co? Can't see them wanting Bateman sold while all this is goin on.

I read the same code as you.
Ryan has always maintained regular professional dialogue with Caisley-as-shareholder, openly and with PH's knowledge and agreeement, and I would hope and presume that has not changed?

He'd be daft if he hadn't, and I don't have him down as being daft.

Never liked Kevin Costner, or any other Robbing Hood!!!!: |
|
| RYan's far from daft. He's articulate, open, honest , and the only board member who currently has any positive reputation in terms of his communication with the public. Dont forget for the first ten years of Ryan's rise through the club, Caisley was at the helm. IMO having him and Gary Tasker working day to day at the club could be the best chance we have of making a go of the club again, regardless of who is the chairperson!

| As good as Bateman promises to be, is he as good as Sam Burgess was at 18?
From the little I've seen of him, he doesn't look as physically impressive or powerful.

Probably not, but then he is considerably better than Peacock was at that age.

| Bateman's more impressive than Burgess was in his last season with us.
That said Bateman's had a lot of hype, he's still a kid with a lot to learn.

Hard to compare the two as both players have different styles. bateman is LF or 2nd Row and burgess is a prop. yes burgess at that age was physically very strong and could bust the line which is what a prop is asked to do. Were as bateman is a player who can break the line and combined well with his centres and wingers with a good passing and kicking game the role of LF. better compareing him to likes of sculthorpe or farrell

Phil how's it going mate? Love your work on Skysports - you can never have enough statistics. Margin meter's a wee bit naff though IMO.

| One key word for Bateman: "Fearless"
OK, another one: "Aggressive".
Reminds me too a bit of a young Morley.
Key thing, as Bullseye points out, is that he is still young and has a lot to learn. Provided he IS a good learner, he's every chance of turning into a pretty special player IMO.

Though he does keep his tackles a bit lower..........mostly.

| Those of you expecting you to get a massive fee for Bateman we got £250k for Joel Tomkins who was international and 1 year into a 5 year deal. The market for big money deals between SL clubs is even smaller than what union offer. Bradford are obviously going to try and start a bidding war but it looks like only Wire will be in for him. I cant see anything more than 100k and maybe a few add ons for appearences/medals. We'll see.

What good are additional clauses to us when to we need cash now? Looks to me like bradford want keep their young stars, not sell them.
IMO, Bateman looks every bit as powerful as Sam, if not a bit more.
