Transfer negotiations took what, half a year and we loose his services for about the same period.The club knew Bateman's visa status...he couldn't apply for a work visa untill a contract had been lodged and cleared with the NRL and that couldn't happen untill the transfer negotiations were settled with Wigan.
That’s just not good enough.
It’s cost hundreds of thousands of bucks.
Most of us would be sacked at work for f**king around with something for so long.
No excuses in my book.
It’s been badly planned and poorly executed. We always had the money for the transfer, that was never an issue.
