bradford did not have to sell him but at the moment they need the cash

Come on, Mark. You're slipping. you forgot the sidelines of pegs and lucky heather.

I'd be round the DW every week, looking for a tax disc in his car. Wont find one, though.

I bet he's in the employee of who getdownmonkeyman has in his avatar.

It's not too olong ago, 18 months is it? that 'we' were quite keen on the lad...

Under a top coach, in a stable environment I think a few on here might have to reconsider their 'appraisal' based on what, half a dozen games and a bit of tittle tattle.

I'm not sure where he will rank in the Wigan backrowers?

Hansen, Clubb, O'Loughlin, Farrell, Hopkins, Pettybourne.

I do think he has great potential but like someone said before Bradford used him as a battering ram and often when he was injured. I suppose there isnt a better cub to go to at the minute if you want to progress. Potential NRL signing in 2-4 years if he can get game time and make the impact he is expected to.

Bateman is very much the same type of signing for Wigan as Russell is for us.

Although dare say he is costing them more.
