The run of bad news is broken thankfully. I like the lad. He can be very good on his day and runs great lines. I’ve always felt he’s not the most aggressive but hopefully Wane can add a little of that before his departure.

I think that’s a superb signing and definitely an upgrade on Joel Tomkins. I do like a back row of;
11 Farrell/Bateman
12 Greenwood
13 Bateman/SOL
I do however suspect Bateman will be off at seasons end now.

Good signing at a much needed time. Definite upgrade on Joel.

Phil Wilkinson confirmed today Bateman was NRL bound at the end of the season |

Excellent and much needed news.
Always really rated him and he has that natural ability to run a good line and break a tackle.
Definite upgrade on Joel and he also brings the athleticism and size I feel our backrow lacks.
With it looking increasingly likely Bateman is going we have an opportunity to add some real size to the backrow. I will be sad to see Bateman go but the thought of 2 big secondrow forwards really excites me.

Unless he’s drastically regressed over in oz (plenty of others have) then he is a big upgrade on Joel Tomkins. He should be coming into his peak years and hopefully we get his best years, he’s got a good eye for the tryline too.

Absolutely - we have signed two players who are probably upgrades on their replacements- Hardaker for Tomkins and Greenwood for Sutton.
It would be terrific if we could get someone similar to Murdoch-Masilla so we can start punching some holes on the fringes. |

Having the "no-leg-drive, drop to the ground, pretend you are not a forward" Wane getting to coach him is the only downside of the deal! Another player who will need rehabilitating by the new coach  |

Really good signing and I hope Waney gets nowhere near coaching him, hopefully, pig-head will be gone by tomorrow.

I’m with you on the front rowers but in fairness to Wane his record with our backrowers is excellent. Lads like Farrell, Bateman and more latterly Willie Isa have thrived under him.
Backrowers seem to be allowed to try and make ground after contact.

Are you sure Wane won't play him at prop? My previous post was a bit tongue in cheek but this is not beyond the realms of possibility. |

He may well do you know. Even minus Joel Tomkins we’ve still got four experienced back row options.
Greenwood better be able to find a quick way of getting his big frame to the floor if he does! |

Greenwood looked alright last year, albeit a bit laterally slow in defence. Certainly good enough with the ball though. No idea why he hasn't got a game this year.
