I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4729.jpg |

Bateman was the best centre I have seen in a Wire shirt.
Andy Currier couldn't tackle a big dinner.

I think Davies would have to go down as the best centre for me (that’s where he played mostly for us). He won matches on his own, every week.
Although on a return-for-money, consistent performances basis, Bateman is arguably the best import this club ever had after Bevan. |

Thanks for the heads-up, fella.
I really enjoyed that.
No chips on my shoulders, but the Welsh RU really are to55er5.
I wouldn't treat next door's dog like that, let alone a person.
The woman who presented it was very balanced, if not slightly pro RL.I got the impression that she was EXTREMELY embarrassed by the Welsh RU's behaviour.
On the whole, I was half expecting a sneering look at our code. It didn't come across. Too many times, I've seen Welsh RU people who couldn't even call our sport by it's name. We were ALWAYS called "the Northern game' Whoppers.
I can recommend anyone who missed it, to try and watch it on catch up.

There aren't many Welsh RU fans who'd disagree with you there.
A quote from another site (a Welsh RU one) I frequent, about this programme.
"Dai Bish. Something else. So many of the players are still angry. Fair dos the the WRU blazers have always been w@nkers". |

Sounds like one of those guys who loves keeping his body in top condition and plays sport for the love of it, even when it's just with an amateur club.
If we ever get rugby back how about a half time fitness circuit challenge: Bateman v Chaddy. Worth standing through two boring halves of rugby to see that.

Yep - I'd go for that.
Davies for me would be the best centre not specifically for his centre play - which was top draw - but for his all round game and incredible vision.
Blake would probably be my number 2 and then it's the likes of Bateman, King, Kohe-Love and Bridge.
If I remember rightly Bateman had a body fat percentage of 11 ! Unbelievable for an athlete in a contact sport.
God knows how many multiples of that I am !!
Bateman is such a nice guy too.
