What has Mossop got to do with this? |

| Quote trent="trent"Why wouldn't I?
I do know the feelings of people within the club and trust me they are not very positive towards Bateman irrespective of what comes out in the media
These self same people have seen plenty of training ground bust ups over the years which have resolved themselves as those individuals involved knew full well that things often get heated in training,especially when results aren't going the clubs way
Whatever anyone says or thinks for that matter about this incident, then let me tell you that this was way,way above anything like that.
If that self same incident had happened to one of our own kids then I think people would see things a bit differently and would be demanding a far sterner sentence,maybe one which was handed out in a court of law
FWIW I believe that the club have gone as far as they possibly could in fining Bateman £10K plus banning him for 8 weeks without actually losing a valuable asset by sacking him and letting one of our rivals snap him up for free

Moving forward for the club,and that is the only thing that matters IMO,is that the club have got it right and that these negative feelings towards Bateman don't stop us winning a trophy or three this season, because if we don't win anything then strong questions will need to be answered'"
Because my contacts at the club (people who are very friendly with mossop) have told me **** all. they are sworn to secrecy |

I think its all down to the coach and the culture he has instilled.
Justin Carney transgressed at Cas. He was a very valuable player on a 5 year contract but he broke the code of conduct that Powell had insisted all his players adhered to. He had to go despite the protestations from the fans.
Very similar at Shudds, Ferres broke Andersons code and Leeds got him for nothing as Anderson was worried if he kept him it would set a precedent.
It would seem that Wanes code of conduct is much more lenient than other clubs especially if it is a valuable player. Considering some on here claim he has previous just what does he have to do to get kicked out of the club?

Not sure they would have done the same if they had paid £100k for either Carney or Ferres.
Also I'm not sure that this story has finished yet.
Rightly or wrongly Bateman is a saleable asset and to summirarly dismiss him would have effective given Bateman a free transfer. Personally although I rate Bateman if I owned the club he would have walked but then again I didn't pay him £100k out of my bank account.
A bit of petrol still in the tank yet on this me thinks. |

Spot on Itchy, if the situation was reversed I wouldn't want to lose Bateman just as I didn't want to lose Justin Carney but you have to put your trust in the coach. Like it or not there is a lot more mileage in this and the RL Journo's will be on it already.

Bateman has just today removed any reference of Wigan Warriors from his twitter bio.

Disagree completely. I like it and only wish I could do this  |

It still says Wigan/Bradford at the bottom but he has taken 'for Wigan Warriors' out after the 'I'm a pro Rugby League player'.
I've said earlier on in the thread I certainly don't think we've heard the last of him leaving and I still would be far from surprised if he's already played his last game for the club. |
