Just watched Gildart's highlights, first time seeing him, he's a baller. Great pace and vision. Also has good (soft) hands. A couple of tries breaking tackles and bouncing of defenders too. A lot of space and early ball in the Super League so it's just a matter if he can transition well or not in the NRL.

Do you have the link mate? Maybe the article is dated as Thommo is obviously already here.

Thank you bro... I reckon personally John Bateman has already signed with his new club... it’s too much of a risk to tell Canberra you are out and not sign with a new club. There is a lot of uncertainty with his shoulder injury and that would be working against him whilst he is on the sideline.

Yeah if Francis molo is getting shopped to uk we should make a play for him. Great bench forward.
The uk reporter probably means Bateman and gildart could be at the dogs with Thompson in the near future, he would know Thompson is already here obviously
How good if true !

Yeah I like Molo a lot. He makes a huge impact and if he's cheap he'd be a good signing.

John Bateman heading home to Super League
John Bateman’s future is decided, and the news is not good for Canterbury fans as yet another star shuns recruitment moves by the cashed-up club.
Unhappy Canberra backrower John Bateman looks set to turn his back on the NRL and return to England at the end of the season.
It is understood the English Test forward will knock back strong interest from Canterbury and St George Illawarra to link with the Wigan Warriors in the Super League.
Bateman has been at the centre of an ugly dispute with the Raiders after seeking a pay upgrade on his $600,000 deal.
It is understood the Raiders had previously offered his management $750,000 for next year but that wasn’t enough.
Canberra chief executive Don Furner was unavailable for comment.
Bateman had a clause in his contract where he could renegotiate his deal each season but the way the negotiations have played out has really left a bitter taste at the Raiders.
Bateman was the Dally M backrower of the year in 2019 but hasn’t played so far this season after shoulder surgery and complications that followed.

It’s not looking good. The club is going to have to pull a rabbit out of its hat to get some quality players now. I can’t see it happening.

Bateman's and a damn good player but we dont know how his body would've responded after his injuries.
I think this is a blessing in disguise for us.
We do need to sort out our coaching situation though. We can't just be in coaching limbo when we supposedly have $3M to spend.

I get the sense this combined football board and leagues club board meeting this week is going to be massive....... something needs to happen
If the board want to survive they need to get creative. They have always said 2021 is the year we turn it around and I’m happy to wait but the chances of change are slimming
I really don’t get Bateman. He’s signed for less to go back home but he left Canberra to get more money... Something doesn’t add up
