it would be such a bulldog thing to do to pay $800k+ for backrower that is so far a one season wonder.
Don't they realise how god awful their spine is?

He's no 'one season wonder'. In fact he could well be the toughest Pom since Mal Reilly. He never backs down and every team needs one of those.

Bateman was 'killing it' in Super League from the age of 17 at Bradford Bulls. That's why Canberra signed him from Wigan. And he was outstanding the 2017 World Cup.

Jackson Hastings killed it in the super league aswell though.

My query is if he was just benefiting off a red hot raiders team last year. A 96kg forward in today’s game is a bit on the small side too

Lol what?

Im saying if Hastings can do well in the super league, who played what half a season without a single standout game in the NRL, then “killing it” in the super league isn’t that impressive

I think Batemens a great player but he’s gotta play more than 1 good season In the nrl to command 800k, if those figures are true

I can see this ending poorly ... as a poster said above ... if the raiders have not prioritised his contract from 2021/22 onwards they are kidding themselves

heard some reporter ... Brent ? Something saying there is zero chance JB is a raider next year ... make if that what you will

He's been in the English test side for five years.

Fifita and Haas have played one good season (& arguably not as good as Bateman last year) and they're commanding around the million a year, but yeah probably on a pie and a coke at the Broncos.
