Surely Bateman wasn't the only one involved or ha hum unavailable

That's correct, if there is an ongoing investigation involving an incident with two players then both should be unavailable, it takes two to tango. If a fight occurs during a game both aggressor & retaliator tend to get shown the red card and both face disciplinary hearings.

This situation is a little different though. You tend not to take to the pitch 'tooled up'.

And the fact it happened off a rugby pitch, would probably mean that police investigations could be taking place, and those involved might be best kept apart while those are ongoing...

I think you've got us there.

The decision not to suspend both players allegedly involved is clearly part of an ongoing Cherry and White conspiracy to irritate Leigh RL, which as you know is Wigan's highest priority.

I usually irritate Leythers by reminding them of their constant need to travel to Atherton train station.

Really funny that I really am rollin over in fits of laughter at your comments that word sounds like lafter

Someone from the Leigh board has posted on the Bradford board they have signed John until the end of the season and until thats finalised not announcing Ridyard leaving. Really hope this isnt true

Apologies seems like a wind up

And...... Breeeeeeathe......
