    Not sure why an injured NRL player no one know is of interest.

    I was about the edit the thread title then realised this is actually about some Aussie prop.

    Ah well, I'll come back and edit once we're on page 25 and the thread is all about Paul Loughlin.

    John Bateman is having to have a further operation on his shoulder.

    He punches well above his weight and throws himself into tackles; I wonder if this is taking a toll on his body now?

    He basically drove them to the title in 2018.

    But can the piescum paupers afford him? I don't mean Cap-wise, I mean just money-wise?

    If they do, I hope his shoulder is permafu**ed.

    It's funny the NRL whining about contracts, they don't seem to mind when SL gets the rough end of the stick.

    Fake news but because a few have posted it without knowing the facts some believe it.

    I think one of those "in the know" posted on here a bit ago that Lenagan was selling Wigan to pay his tax debts.

    Back to Bateman I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him back at Wigan after what I was told last year.

    Do Wigan have first refusal?

    If Wigan want to sign him on a massive marquee contract, let them.
    Great player but would you want to use your marquee on a second row? Canberra obviously don’t want to make the large space on the cap for him despite him doing well over there.

    In regards to whether Wigan can afford it, they’ll have to put any carpet expenditure on hold for now.

    From what I recall Radlinski told the fans that Bateman would be going back to Wigan at the end of the Canberra deal, Bateman then came out said he didn’t know anything about it. Nothing new Wigan mugging off their own fans.

    I would be very surprised to see Bateman back at Wigan.

    If he comes back, he will go to Leeds I think.

    However, I think he will stay in Aus

    I must admit, it hardly seems likely that he's using the corona virus as an excuse and not seeing his daughter. Obviously he'll miss her but it isn't like she'd being flying over every other weekend. It seems to me like he's had a fall out with someone at Canberra or doesn't like the place. Who knows to be honest, I hope he doesn't go back to Wigan but there's potential for it I suppose, I don't spend my time obsessing over them so I'm not overly aware of their finances.

    $3.5m deal is the rumoured numbers. Would love him at Saints; we need to rebuild the pack for 2021, and imagine how much it would wind the Goons up...

    He is no doubt a very good player,but is he worth £387k a year ? That is marquee player money and as good as he is,is he in that bracket ?

    We're losing Thompson and Roby probably won't be on marquee money so I don't see a problem. Where are we going to get better, that's the going rate for quality.
