Thats no good. Hopefully the dogs can do do something to help his family out. I am sure he would like to be with Thommo and play alongside him.
the thing in our favour also is that the english cap is about a 3rd , and Wigan already have some expensive players on their roster already. He will get alot more staying in Australia regardless.I feel like he is a chance of staying in Australia even with the offer from Wigan as he may not be able to play over there even next year with the COVID-19 resurgence. If he is unsure whether he might want to go back to England the dogs could let him have a get out clause after say 2 years? Still beneficial to the dogs IMHO. We need to sign players like him to encourage others we are headed in the right direction.
The dogs need to be smart here and say look we will sign you for 3 years... But you can have the option to leave after 1 year if it gets too much and you wanna go back home. Keep that abit hush and then maybe he's the first big signing we make that entices others to sign... At this point if he signs then leaves but 2 quality players join because he's come to us then that's an absolute win based on what we currently haveI feel like he is a chance of staying in Australia even with the offer from Wigan as he may not be able to play over there even next year with the COVID-19 resurgence.

You been asleep mate? He wants more money than what raiders are willing to pay him...Why would he move to another NRL club? Surely if it wasnt to go back to England then he would stay at the Raiders.
Im really worried about his shoulder injuries, we dont want another Foran situation.
Honestly, Ive barely payed attention to whats going on in the NRL this year, after the shit our team has served up, the only footy news I get is when i check the forums a few times a week.You been asleep mate? He wants more money than what raiders are willing to pay him...
Last I heard they wanted to make him one of their two marquee players outside the cap, the problem was they already had two. Burgess and someone else.the thing in our favour also is that the english cap is about a 3rd , and Wigan already have some expensive players on their roster already. He will get alot more staying in Australia regardless.
That’s fair enough mate... sometimes I wish I could do the same... just a blue and white tragic...Honestly, Ive barely payed attention to whats going on in the NRL this year, after the shit our team has served up, the only footy news I get is when i check the forums a few times a week.
Yeah sounds like he’s got the shits at Isaac Moses more than anything. But in terms of the NRL helping more to keep the roster together well I get that as a reward for loyalty but Batemans been there only 18months...https://mobile.twitter.com/julianbabbott/status/1277851164608917506?s=21
If he was heading home to England there isn’t any hint of that in Rickys press conference.
I am expecting the Dogs to announce him soon. The way Pay was talking in the press conference on Sunday it seemed to me that there was a new signing imminent. The timing seems to suit. Bateman wouldn't have quit before he'd organised another club to go to.https://mobile.twitter.com/julianbabbott/status/1277851164608917506?s=21
