He can move in immediately on Junction Nine retail park. Nice one.

| Quote: easyWire "It would appear the reason for Bateman's availability is that he had a bust up, similar to the one involving him at Wigan. You can't just erupt on the coach like that. This changes things for me. Too much potential to disrupt the squad's balance as we go into the most crucial part of the season. I can see a Hardaker 2017-style moment on the horizon, should we get to the grand final.'"
I can see your point to a point BUT Hardaker in 2017 was pivotal to that Cas team 2nd in MOS behind Gale and all at 48hrs notice.
A happy productive Bateman for the run in is a gamble but we are hardly building the team around him and you would hope that we've got strong enough personalities on and off the field to deal with any shenanigans much in the same way as the Bullock Russell affair.
If the boot was on the other foot would we have taken a chance on T King or Cooper given their admittedley different indiscretions?

| We have no idea what discussions have been held, who has said what to whom, what level of performance has been promised, what warning have been given, etc......but we have to trust our coaching team that they can get something out of Bateman between now and the end of the season.
If it doesn't work, then off he goes to Wakefield with every other off contract player!

Totally with you on this. Hopefully he is here until the end of the season. We'll see how it goes & move on from there.

I'm not questioning your RL knowledge but I do question whether you can see into the future. If this signing is announced, we simply don't know at this time if it's disastrous or not. I am prepared to trust Mr Warrington and Sam.

| Disastrous is a bad take, in my opinion. He’s a competitor, he fights in every contest. Similarly, we signed Sam Powell and everybody, myself included, thought it was a waste. But Powell has demonstrated his worth on the pitch, but importantly he sets standards of discipline and resilience. You don’t need them traits to score nice tries, and to put on a good show. But you need them if you’re going to stick around at the back end of big competitions.
If Bateman can come in and lift us up 1 or 2 percentage points, then it’s a worthwhile exercise.
I’m not convinced, but I see the logic.

| Not me Barbed…
I was always a Sam Powell fan.
He scored so many trys against us from dummy half at the Pie Dome.
I know where my money is going tomorrow.

I think 'bust up' makes it sound worse than it possibly was. Wests Tigers is currently a losing environment, and therefore not a happy one, I imagine. In such situations, a frank exchange of views is not exactly unheard of - some coaches might even welcome it, to help clear the air - and Bateman's personality is such that he obviously got his point across forcefully. Hopefully, if he comes to Wire, he can thrive in a happier atmosphere.

| Hopefully Bateman seizes this opportunity to get his own game and career back on track. No doubt he is or was a quality player, he is devastating edge runner with an off load plus his got abit about him, not afraid to mix it up and put himself about, something which Wire teams have been missing.

| IMO Burgess is the perfect coach to get the best out of Bateman mentally. There is a question mark on his physical fitness..can he physically reach previous heights?Cautiously optimistic that this will work out well for us.
