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 wont be judging this signing, until ive seen him under the wing of Burgess.

Confirmed now on club twitter/x/whatever.

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.

Lammy jnr done deal to Saints.

Bateman deal a waste of money. Won’t get in the team

i also think its going to work out... he will take the pressure off the young lads a bit... A good solid, tough player, who can do long minutes... Could have a a little Indian summer here under Burgess. he doesn't have to come into the first team and set the world on fire.. he has to do a job for the team. Its a low risk, high reward play.

Warrington looking to offer Bateman a deal after the loan if all goes great.

Vaughany in talks for another extension

Burgess in talks for a year extension.

Well I’ve been banned off the red vee for letting them know they have got Lam jr signed for next season.

Not sure how they took offence by it.

Things have ebbed very low there I reckon.
