NRL: The NRL 360 panel react to the news that the Tigers have allowed John Bateman to leave the club immediately..
English international John Bateman has never been the type of player to back down or bite his tongue.
Marshall has been consistently challenging Wests Tigers senior players for much of the season and at the same time been more than satisfied with the emergence of Wests Tigers next generation players including Lachlan Galvin, Samuela Fainu, Jahream Bula, Fonua Pole and Talyn Da Silva. Make no mistake Bateman was a champion backrower and a hard-edged forward but watch his form closely this season and it’s clearly a bad deal.
But the Wests Tigers will still have to reach some form of settlement with Bateman given he’s still got two years to run in 2025 and 2026.TWO HORSE RACE FOR STEFANO’S SIGNATURE Canterbury-Bankstown have emerged as a left field contender for Utoikamanu in the last 48 hours meaning the front rower now has the Melbourne Storm, Bulldogs and Tigers competing for his signature.Broncos son of a gun heading to England; Another Arthur exits Eels
The Nelson Asofa-Solomona issue continues to limit how much wiggle room the Storm have for next season. Looking at the success of Shawn Blore, Tommy Talau, Luke Brooks and Daine Laurie since they’ve left the Wests Tigers is hardly a strong selling point.The Bulldogs members and fans will be having a party if the club can sign Stefano Utoikamanu.
Then you assess the other Canterbury-Bankstown recruits of the past 18 months in Reed Mahoney, Bronson Xerri, Jaemon Salmon, Connor Tracey and Blake Wilson and it’s clearly a combination of good coaching and smart recruitment.
